Coffeewank!
This is an example of the wailing and gnashing of teeth that can ensue when you take coffee too seriously. Or, depending on which side you take, what happens when you don't take it seriously enough.

Jeff Simmermon of the And I Am Not Lying blog wanted an iced triple espresso from Murky Coffee in DC. He's informed that it's against Murky's policy to serve iced espresso, and when he orders the espresso and a cup of ice, he's told that "What you’re about to do … that’s really, really Not Okay." Simmermon takes exception to the barista's attitude, posts about it on his blog, and also shows the tip he left at Murky. The comments explode, some taking sides with Simmermon, others with the barista; the blog post ends up linked on BoingBoing; and the owner of Murky responds with a highly unambiguous "Fuck you, Jeff Simmermon".

Insert joke here about everyone needing to lay off the caffeine.

	Rice has always been one of those foods that my husband and I could never agree on. In his family, they treat it like you do, like oatmeal. In my family, rice is used just like noodles or spaghetti. It's something to pour a sauce over. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	This is the only way my parents/grandma will eat rice. They call me up every time they eat rice, like they deserve a bozo button for eating "exotic" food. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	E-exotic? They think rice is exotic? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dez_chan 2008-07-17 05:22 am UTC (link)
	Yes. They also think spaghetti is foreign food. They're a little white-bread. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ironically, I can't stand rice pudding. It just doesn't taste the same as rice with sugar on top! It's all smushy and it's got milk in or something! :( (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Definitely not a freak. When I was in elementary school, the school cafeteria used to put shakers of sugar out every time they served rice and that's how everyone ate it. Yummmm. (Reply to this)(Parent)
