I was talking to a friend in a coffee shop and we were discussing various features of a Native American language. At some point in time, a woman sitting nearby got rather offended when she mistakenly heard our discussion of a language not having feature x as a suggestion that it wasn’t a real language. She promptly got up and walked out of the cafe before we knew what was happening. I quickly opened the door after she left to shout an apology across the parking lot for any misunderstanding.

She returned and sat back down in her original seat, resuming whatever it was that she was working on before.
