Drive of shame

SOUR: Driving a half-hour home in boxers, a tank top and slippers after realizing the hot water at your lodging for the night is not working.

SWEET: Still making it to work early! How is it possible?

SOUR: Thinking you're buying a band's new album on iTunes, when in fact the album came out in 1999.

SOUR: This is just me bitching, but this morning I went downstairs to get an Americano. An Americano is espresso and hot water. Here's the conversation that took place between the cashier and me today. This is the THIRD time I have had this exact conversation with her:

Cashier: "You like those Americanos?"
Me: "Yes."
Cashier: "They're just espresso and water."
Me: "Yep."
Cashier: "Do they have any flavor?"
Me: "Well yeah ... espresso ..."
Cashier: "Do you use sugar?"
Me: "Nope."
Cashier "Cream?"
Me: "Nope. I drink it black."
(Cashier shakes her head in disbelief and stares at me with wide eyes)

It's just another form of coffee, damn it!

I was excited to buy a vanilla latte at the McDonald's drive-thru today only to be handed an iced latte. Did I say iced? No! Why would you assume iced at 8 a.m.? I don't know! I took it and drank it anyway.
