coffee

The McDonald's hot coffee case went down in 90's history as a goofy late-night-talk-show-level absurdity that seemed like it was about a money-grubbing lady who was too dumb to know that coffee was hot. As it turns out, the details were more nefarious than that. For more people on tumblr getting blasted with knowledge, here are tumblr users getting schooled on car safety.

This customer decided to intervene on an entitled woman's irritating quest to lock down a sticker (for a free coffee journal) by ultimately doubling back and taking the sticker she'd originally turned down. The only way she could've rubbed it in the entitled customer's face more would've been to eat the sticker in front of her. Sheesh. 

This guy unknowingly caffeinated his way into the 5th dimension. Let this serve as a cautionary tale that you've gotta be extra careful with that Cuban espresso. It is not a joke. Sounds like he basically consumed 12 cups of coffee in the matter of 5 minutes. At that point, you better just buckle up and try to enjoy the ride. Thankfully, it would seem he stayed safe. 

British Comedian, Tiffany Stevenson witnessed one absolutely ridiculous situation involving a male Starbucks barista telling a pregnant woman that she shouldn't take her special coffee beverage with caffeine in it. Who asked you for advice, my dude? 

The fact that this guy didn't think to take his glasses off to properly assess the coffee before ordering it again is beyond belief. I guess some people need coffee more than others, or this whole story was pulled right out of thin air. 

Customer service is the WORST. You're guaranteed to meet all kinds of entitled people just out looking to get pissed off at something. And from there it seems to be a terribly natural direction of rage at the people put there to help them out! Yikes all around.

Why is it so easy to notice dating mistakes when you're not the one making them? It's like this guy makes every wrong turn you could think of. The self-importance on this dude is absolutely majestic. In case you aren't familiar with this planet, this is not the first time dudes have made mistakes on dates.

And then everyone clapped...

We swear this isn't an ad for Denny's. We just wanna show you all the weird shit they're posting online.

Turns out TV ISN'T real life, guys. What are we supposed to believe, after this soul-rattling revelation? 

And then the whole Starbucks clapped. 

Attempts are drawn toward failure like a magnet. In these cases, you can't say these people and animals didn't try. Could they have tried harder? Maybe.

These caffeine-crazed individuals are chasing the edge of sanity with these drink choices. 

As with just about any 'illusion' that's even slightly open to interpretation/debate/whatever, this little coffee riddle has taken Twitter by storm, and naturally people have worked themselves into a damn frenzy over where this coffee is being poured.
