Re: People and things that infuriate you way more than they should
lol @ the venti people. if you don't like it... support a local coffeehouse that still uses small/medium/large.
and "venti" isn't a made up word; apparently it means "twenty" in italian-- and the venti-size drinks are 20 oz.

ps: do you guys really have problems when you order a "large"? i almost always do because i don't go to starbucks enough to remember which is which and no one's ever given me crap about it. [/ QUOTE ] I don't drink coffee, but when I'm traveling, I often go into Starbucks because my company has a wireless account through whatever provider Starbucks has. So I sit in Starbucks and watch the trim come and go. Good stuff. The fun part of starbucks is when average dude ambles up to the counter and orders a coffee. Yes, they get "You mean xxxx?" when they order a coffee. Old dudes do not, however, get [censored] from the staff. Only middle aged dudes. The best interaction I've seen so far was in Northern Jersey, somewhere between Carlstadt and New York: [Middle aged guy] Can I get a large coffee, black, two sugars, and I don't want the special blend or the featured grind. [annoying counter girl] Ohhhhh, if you're just going to get plain coffee, you really should try Zambian Gold Hyachachacha Blend [name might not be totally accurate]. [Middle aged guy] No, I don't want that, I just want a plain large coffee with two sugars. That's all. [annoying counter girl] You sure? Our Zambian Gold Hyachachacha Blend [name might not be totally accurate] is our best black blend and it's the featured blend this week. It's really yummy! [Middle aged guy] [censored] this. I'll just [censored] get it at the gas station. Thanks. Thanks a [censored] lot. [annoying counter girl] Sorry! Thanks for stopping in!

Re: People and things that infuriate you way more than they should
It used to bug me a lot when people would say that "hitler killed six million jews" as though that sums up the entire holocaust. Now I've realized that people either don't know any better or just forget to mention that he also killed millions of communists, homosexuals, gypsies, disabled people, and various political dissidents.
It's sort of like saying that re: sept 11th, that the terrorists killed 400 blacks or whatever, as though the whites and mexicans and jews and arabs, etc. they killed didn't exist. Actually, this would happen somewhat often in the leftist circles I traveled in. People would talk about how the terrorists killed a bunch of blacks, and minorities and working class people, as though THAT'S the reason we should be against terrorism. WOW, just WOW. Some leftists actually think it's acceptable to kill rich people. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

They get about 10 seconds, in case it's like a death in the family, at which point they get a glare. If they keep talking while I stare at them, they get a very loud "hey, shut the hell up" lol
