Coffee Cup Irony

[tvordlj]

I chuckled while looking at my coffee cup this morning. Down the side of the Starbucks cup are a series of check boxes for the staff to note what you've asked for. For example: Decaf, check. Milk, check, shots, check. That sort of thing. And the last check box is "Drink". huh? I'm not aware that they fill the cups with anything that is not a drink unless it's something i get to check off when i drink it? *shrug* What makes me laugh now is most businesses now place a warning on the cup, too, that the drink is very hot. All because some stupid woman trying to balance her coffee between her thighs while driving spilled it and got burned and sued McDonald's up the wazoo for not warning her that the coffee was hot. I wonder who was supposed to warn her that she's an idiot?

And because it's Friday....

1. Do you dance?
Um, not much these days but i used to love it.

2. Would you consider yourself religious?
No. Brought up Catholic but don't have much use for the tenets of that one these days. I think i'm more in the general area of believing in things spiritual, as well as things like the travel gods, the bus gods, etc.

3. Do you talk about politics?
A little. I do try to at least keep up in the newspaper with the basics of much of the national and local politics. We have some political conversations at work but tend not to since it can be a bit contentious. I've made the occasional post/rant on LJ too.

4. When is the last time you asked for forgiveness?
Can't remember. I haven't done too much that needed it, unless accidentally.

5. Friday fill-in:
I’m holding out for ___.
A hero! (Sir Gramster will do nicely!)

Update on the McDonalds coffee case

While I agree with you about frivolous lawsuits there is a bit more to the McDonalds coffee case then you may realize.
