LOL at all you coffee drinkers and your waiting in lines. I don't like coffee, but if I had to wait in line more than 60 seconds just to order a beer, cup of tea, or soda, I'd go elsewhere.

no you wouldn't

Riiiiiight. You only go places where the bartender takes your order in 60 seconds or less.

Yes, because people go out to a bar or restaurant to "just" order a soda.

I would and I have. It's really not a big deal - If I see a line, I keep on walking.

That's correct. I'm not into the club scene and I don't really like crowds. You don't seem to grasp that different people can lead different lives, even in the same city.

This doesn't even make sense in response to what I said. Reading comprehension fail x3, I guess. Just writing down tangentially related thoughts as they occur to you is no way to refute someone else's claims. Not in OOT. Take that **** over to BBV or Politics, where it'll fit right in.

Also there is no establishment anywhere, that always takes your order within a minute, even when there isn't any line.
Although I can totally picture you walking up to some nearly empty bar with your stop watch out, and then leaving when the bartender hasn't made his way over from making another party's drinks or stocking the liquor bottle shelf or loading the dishwasher before your 60 second timer starts beeping, and then repeating that a bunch of times at various places.

When you find out that who you thought was your neighbor's hot wife is actually his 14 year old daughter.

Mick,

4 years isn't that long of a time to wait.

Spikeball. Just flipped over to the ESPNs at HT of Russia/Croatia World Cup game. WTF is this? Hackey sack without feet + volleyball with a ring instead of a net or something on ESPN2. Ugh.

Brown lenses are the best and whenever anyone asks what I want for Christmas/my birthday I say, "a cheap pair of sunglasses with brown lenses." I have 5 or 6 pairs of spare glasses now without brown lenses.

When someone who doesn't tip well accidentally leaves a nice set of Bose headphones or some other valuable thing in my cab.

Spikeball is the best yard game, IMO. I've only seen it on TV once, but I thought the guys were fun to watch.

What is a good tip on a taxi ride, IYO? Say for a $20 and $35 ride and does that number change if it is an uber?

When someone mentions starbucks in passing in a conversation and some other guy interrupts just to make sure everyone knows he doesn't like starbucks and their coffee is bad.

Would you prefer possibly never knowing that person's views on Starbucks?

I know what you mean, but in fairness Starbucks is bad coffee. I don’t drink it.

It doesn't matter if it's bad or not, I'm talking about when a guy says something like "I stopped at starbucks at the airport yada yada and I ended up missing my flight" nobody cares if YOU don't like it, it doesn't matter, has nothing to do with the story.

It's like the dickheads who just randomly interject that they don't own a TV.
