A Short Tale of Starbucks, a Barista, and a Guitar

[info]tehrin
Small wank brought to you by [info]wank_report and [info]baristas.

Guy, supposedly, leaves guitar at Starbucks. Guy comes back and has an exchange with [info]wrything_worms.

starbucks is not your storage unit dumbass )

[info]wrything_worms decides to keep the guitar (HEY, FREE GUITAR, GAIZ!) after Guy doesn't come back for it and post the supposedly totally true tale here. Mixed reaction occurs with a lot of "you suck" and the dreaded C word gets thrown into play. Some people agree because the customer was trying to take advantage.
[info]wrything_worms then flounces and passive-agressively recants keeping the guitar in a second post to prove to all those nasty people calling [info]wrything_worms an asshole just how much of a non-asshole [info]wrything_worms is.

how to be legendary )

Naturally, more drama unfolds, but a lot of people agree that the cunt comment was uncalled for.

Someone asks an important question: Wait, how did he get the guitar there if he was riding a bike?
my reference to british people was merely referring to the fact that a great many of them use the word 'cunt' like any other word, therefore taking away from it's power Or how personal journal trolling is the classy thing to do.
When he comes to get it, fuck with his head!

Edit: What exactly can you get from starbucks that's $1.55 anyways?

Coffeewank!

[info]hangingfire
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.
