#Spotted in a Cafe in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A small human (3?) declares to Grandad, "Grandad did you know I'm a bug?!"
Grandad nods thoughtfully. "Oh yeah? What type? A fluffy bum*"
"No a BIG SPIDER!"
"You sure? Because you look more like a fluffy bum."
"Noo! A SPIDER!"A very friendly white big dog (staffy?) is sitting in the back of a car with the windows rolled down.
Friendly Dog wants to share the love with EVERYONE and people are stopping to give her a pat before they go into the nearby cafe to order coffees.
Priorities are priorities after all.A woman (50s?) is waiting in line for coffee when she says to a friend, "Do you ever have days when it feels like it's raining in your head?"
Her friend wraps an arm around her shoulders and gives her a very big hug.A woman (20s?) is sitting at a cosy table, headphones on, writing in a neat cursive in a journal as the world goes on about her. A hot chocolate by her side, love heart in the foam. Small smile on her face.
A man in sensible business clothes (30s?) speaking with his outside voice, is showing his partner a spreadsheet as he argues the benefits of adding a third person to their relationship.
He earnestly says: "Just consider the angles!"
Deadpan, she replies: "Fascinating. Tell me more."(Continued Below)

Any typos spotted in this post are highly amused by the happenings at the next table. They're trying not to listen, but there's a volume situation that makes it impossible not to hear and the typos do respect a well written spreadsheet that considers all the angles.
*Fluffy bums are the Kiwi nickname for juvenile passion vine hoppers. They look quite a bit like irate brown goldfish with bug legs and a fluffy bottom: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/197046857

@georgepenney I already have a list of reasons I want to visit New Zealand, but now the top of that list is fluffy bums.

I just did an online search, and …
… a FLUFFY BUM is an actual insect in New Zealand.
It's the nymph of a passionvine hopper.

@georgepenney Reminds me of a conversation I couldn't help overhearing years ago in a Thai restaurant: an extremely pompous sounding man loudly declared: "I hate being obstructed by inanimate objects." Was glad I had a delicious curry to snort into ☺️
