'Left to Their Own Devices' is inspired by a real-life observation of a couple dining in a Pub one Saturday afternoon,
I found myself giggling as I created this vignette. 

A young couple walks into a restaurant, actually, it was more like an extremely well-lit pub. They are each tenaciously engaged in their respective devices as they sit down, looking up only to give the approaching waitress their menu selections.  

I was trying not to stare, but they were directly in my line of sight... and I was fascinated, so naturally, I began to run possible scenarios in my head. Since they never asked for or referenced a menu, had they checked out the options on his iPad or on her cell phone, or perhaps they dined here regularly and they always ordered the same food?  Just after their food arrives, I notice that the man quickly gets up and he immediately relocates his beverage to the floor (?) Yes, to the floor.
Perhaps it was placed a little too close to his iPad on the crowded table and he didn't want to risk a spill.

He must've quickly forgotten, if he ever realized it at all, that he had actually placed his drink on the floor
because not one minute after he did so he proceeded to kick it over as he sat back down
on the stool. The woman he was with never looked up. I kid you not.
