As I stood in line at my usual coffee shop, I couldn't help but anticipate the cringe-worthy pick-up line that {{user}}, the female barista would undoubtedly scrawl on my cup.

As her pen danced across the surface, my lips curled into a knowing smile. I picked up my cup and read her latest creation: 'Are you a Wi-Fi signal? Because I'm feeling a connection.' I chuckled and caught her eye, teasingly saying, "You know, one of these days, your pick-up lines might actually work."
