What do you do if its 8 and he's an alright kisser?

What do you do if its 8 and he's an alright kisser?

Same thing I do with the others. Fuck 'im in the ass.

I tend to avoid places like Starbucks for this very reason.

I'm a cantankerous broad. I'm not interested in game playing. Especially when I am jonesing for coffee. Nor am I interested in taking a Rosetta Stone language course so I can order a fking cuppa joe.

Someone on here (can't remember who) went into a Starbucks and refused to play. Tried to order a "small" something. Barista pretended they didn't know what a "small" was. CSer just said "Then give me whatever size is the smallest size you have." Or something like that.

That sort of crap literally drives me right out the door.

Sheesh.

And as for the size debate....don't blame hormones. Blame porn. And 8 incher is "small" as much as a size 8 ladies dress size is fat, if that made any sense.

Yeah, I can see how this conversation could so quickly swerve from ordering coffee to wang sizes. I mean, I know the first thing I think about when I think about coffee is wangs.

But, um...you know, it might not be the coffee. That might just be me.

Coffee and wangs are completely different to me. For one thing, I don't like the taste of coffee.

Besides, any lady who knows the difference will probably tell you that length doesn't matter - width does!

But yeah. I think Starbucks needs some competition from "ordinary" coffee shops with, say, half the price and no stupid terminology. The people who *want* to pay the premium for the "experience" will still go there, but the "ordinary" shop will probably do good business.

I don't know about that, too wide can cause problems too... if its too wide, it doesn't fit in the cupholder. Its the worst with the extra-large BK soda cups!

Didn't Foamy have a rant about this?

And I'm surprised that Denis Leary's famous Coffee-Flavored Coffee rant didn't include a sub-rant about Starbuckistanian, or whatever their lingo is called.

Maybe its just my store, but its the customers that want the snotty drink. Most of us just drink coffee.

CG: ..... ummmmmmmm. I'll have to ask my manager........

"Would you like fries with that?"
"Why would I want fries with my popcorn?"
"Uh... I'll have to ask my manager."

[Rapscallion]

"Would you like fries with that?"
"Why would I want fries with my popcorn?"
"Uh... I'll have to ask my manager."

Friend of mine got asked if he wanted fries with that once - he was buying a T-shirt. He didn't realise how bizarre that was until I pointed it out to him.

Just give me twelve inches and I'll be happy.

They don't call it the Footlong for nothing, which frankly is how I like my hot dogs.

So *that's* why the cupholders on my computers have two different sized rings on them.

That still doesn't explain why one of them has four cupholders just above each other, though - I can only put two cups in them at once!

Yes, I'm being very silly.

Life is full of weiners and losers.

Oh, man. I'm SOOO glad I wasn't drinking when I read that.

[Eric the Grey]

Why is the "tall" so short? Can I get a "taller"?

I hope you realize that you've just ruined (or possibly made) some poor coffee-jock's day, because I fully intend to steal that.

I literally walked out of a coffee shop for that exact reason. The guy behind the counter refused to acknoledge my request for a "large" coffee. After three times, I turned and left. He did try to call me back, saying he was only kidding. I didn't go back. That's OK though, there WAS a SB down the street.

Turns out their coffee sucks anyway.
