Brawl over Starbucks 'Bearista' Cup.

I grew up on Maxwell House brewed at home.

That's 'coffee'? I always thought it was potted plant fertilizer. At least that's what I've seen it used for.

Wow, already trained??? Last pet rock I had wouldn't do a damned thing. It just sat there, all day long, all night long. Had to kick it in the bubblegum to get it to do anything...

Be sure not to kick your pet stones, though.

I trained my pet rock for protection….
…. Here's a picture of "Thumper" wearing his new leash.

$10 says the Soobie was a WRX. I swear to God, every time I see a WRX on the road, it's being driven like an bubblegum. What is it with that car?

The WRX driver is a special breed.

Camry drivers are as well. A different sort of idiot.

It is like gas station coffee from 1989. It is functional, and about as pleasant as taking insulin.

I've seen cycles of this. For the longest time it was Volvo drivers, then switched to Soobies, but for the last several years Prius drivers have shown they have a certain way of being "special"...

Perhaps patterns varied across the region. I was in Seattle when the first Prius showed up, and looked far more dildoesque than more recent models. It was like everyone who owned one was trying to prove they were not a limpdik by driving far too aggressively. So I am placing Peak Prius Rage about 20 years ago… but perhaps the cycle is repeating…

People who drive Jettas… that is a thing too…

This is not my complaint. Blocking traffic by driving too slow in the fast lane is one, but the first one was the worst. A "lady" in one saw that I was coming up behind her as the speed limit increased on the road we were on. Instead of speeding up, she paced the slower car in the right lane... Then a couple of miles later with a wave, she sped up, pulled past that slower car, then turned right into a gas station. I have enough self control to not follow her into the station and pull her through her car window, but not everyone would...
I imagine if she tries this with enough people she will eventually learn. I think it's an entitlement issue, as if by driving a Prius they are saving the world, but the rest of us driving petroleum fueled cars are the Devil in disguise.

LOL yeah that is the contemporary Oregon version.

I will admit for the short period I owned a 2004 Jetta, black exterior and tan interior, I may have gotten a little more aggressive with my driving, but that car was just plain fun. Also, it had been a long time since I owned a car to drive and not a pickup.

I drive worse than you did in that VW , and I'm dailying a full size diesel pickup.

The OP article just goes to show you that when resources are constrained, people will fight over the... bear necessities.

Lets hope fighting over these cups will NOT be cause for someone to 'bear arms'....

 

[JoshR]

I believe you, I see the 1 ton diesels all the time on the 5 driving like race cars.
