"Not my date; just one I witnessed while sitting in a cafe with my laptop working. They both (maybe 25) look normal and sit down with a coffee. He buys and she seems happy enough.

He then proceeds to talk like a non-stop firehose for the next hour. I am not exaggerating if she didn’t get to inject 8 consecutive syllables in at any point. It was a verbal brain dump of his entire fairly tepid life.

This was a situation where more than one stranger looked at me with their back to the couple and made faces or mouthed something like “Holy s@#t.”"
