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.

Is that vaguely Snacky's law?

Maybe it's inverse Snacky's, as the person is saying something more along the lines of, "You're like that weird kid I knew in high school."

It's the Murky Corollary to Snacky's Law?

Don't worry, the socially-retarded Comic-Book-Guy type personalities snarked back further down in the comments:

What is it about these niche businesses that attracts these socially-retarded Troy-McClurey type personalities? We avoided you in high school because you used to beat us up and we certainly aren’t going to forget and not spit in your coffee
