I watch a little tv but shows you've probably never heard of.

Since we're playing this game, I've never drunk a cup of coffee.

$5-ish or 20% (whichever is greater) if the cabbie treats you humanely (as defined in the Geneva Convention). More if s/he is more likeable/amusing/helpful than you'd expect, less if they aren't. I average about 40%, but I am amusing as **** so I get the occasional giant tip.

Obviously it is unadvisable to tip your Uber driver since they are financially illiterate. They will, as is the nature of financially illiterate people, misallocate their newly found asset (the fiver you give them) which will cause mayhem in the broader economy eventually leading us to lose to the dirty communists.

How every single thread in this forum eventually turns into a tipping thread

Never had a cup of coffee in my life, have tried it probably 4 or 5 times. Always take a tiny sip and instantly remember why I hate coffee.

No TV since 2004ish.

Since cabbies are the absolute most vile scum of the earth, haven't tipped one of those in no clue how long since I pretty much never use them and when I do it's always in a place where there is no tipping. I always tip motorbike taxis tho.

pvn should probably start a thread where you complain about stuff that should piss you off, since he doesn't understand the point of this one.

Ditto, although I've drunk enough to know I don't like it and I try it periodically to make sure it still tastes bad to me.

FWIW if you get the coffee at starbucks you're doing it wrong anyway, their tea game is 1000x better than their coffee game.

Coffee is hot, brackish water. A latte on the other hand is sweet hot caffeine goodness which doesn't really depend on the quality of beans and is great in the morning before you switch over to cold carbonated caffeine goodness in the afternoon.

If I had a coffee for every time a coffee drinker said this to me, I'd have a lot of coffee that I still wouldn't drink.

I like the smell of gasoline, so I don't think there's necessarily a correlation.

lbr - Of course, everyone likes the smell of coffee. When was the last time you drank a nice tall glass of vanilla extract? Or maybe chowed down on a bowl of cocoa powder?

The smell of red bull, monster, etc. and the people that drink them instead of coffee.

YES YES YES. Every time I smell one of this energy drinks I wonder how people can swallow that at all.

Former addicts to hard drugs, especially stimulants often move over to energy drinks when they hit sobriety. I used to work for a guy that would drink 8 Rockstar Zero Carbs a day. The more I found out about him, it turns out he did 4 rehab stints for cocaine. I've put back a lion's share of the powder in my mid-late 20s and I can't imagine how hard your synapses have to be firing on 1000+mg of caffine a day.

I only have a couple TVs and can't tell the difference between coffee from Starbucks, McDonalds, or a civet's ass.
Apparently I have a very unrefined coffee palate.

So how do you coffee aficionados rank these USA#1 coffee powerhouses?
Starbucks
Petes
Dunkin Donuts
McD's
Philz

Fwiw right now I'm drinking this

while watching France/Belgium on my TV#1

The smell of coffee is great. I actually really enjoy the process of making coffee, for other people. Totally agree regarding people saying blah blah blah coffee, you'd love it! Get over it coffee people, we don't want to join your cult!

Not particularly.

I do like iced coffee, but have probably had less than 15 hot coffees lifetime.

When you recommend an excellent TV show and the response is "We don't have time to watch TV" and they have 4 TVs in their house and then go onto rave about some ridiculously bad TV shows that they love.

Reality TV.
