One rainy sunday afternoon I was by myself in a park that had an area with chairs and tables under the shelter of an awning. There were about a dozen tables or so and I had gone there so that I could be outdoors, stay dry and do my sunday crossword puzzle. When I arrived I was pleased to see that nobody else was around to distract me. I took my crosswords seriously and I was always committed to burning out as many brain cells as were required to finish the puzzle. It was my passion at that time .. the big event of the week. So, Im there for awhile and pleasantly engaged in what Im doing when a car drove up and parked nearby and a middle aged couple with a teenage girl spilled out and came running through the raindrops into the sheltered area and took over one of the other tables. Oh drat, I hoped that theyd be quiet and not be making any distracting noise. Within minutes the two females began to loudly sing Mitch Miller and the gang type songs. Without regard for me sitting there they belted out a seemingly endless medley about bicycles built for two, shine on silvery moon, and someones in the kitchen with Dinah. I was getting more angry by the minute .. this was an obnoxious and unacceptable intrusion into my space and an assault on my privacy. I finally got up, cursed my fate and walked home .. in the pouring rain. The day had been ruined.
