Cups, College, and Children.

[Guest Hotbutter Spoontoaster]

I want to rant about the college kids that show up to classes with a damn cup of java in their hands everyday, and feel the need to eat in class. What the fuck? You don't have breaks between classes like everyone else...oh yeah I forgot that's cellphone time for you. So now I have to sit there in Gen 101 and instead of listening to the lecture that I paid to hear, I have to listen to the sound of your mouth smacking loudly on those nonfat, natural and artifically flavored, carrageean, monsodium Doritos Cooler Ranch chips, that you paid 50 cent for. At least one of us is getting our money's worth. Kids are walking around school with coffee in their hand, as if Starbucks is the new ciggarettes. If your day has to start involving a high priced cup of acidity and a dense fruity sweetness of Ethiopia Yergacheffe, then I think you should just subsitute PCP for it. It's small, concealable, and it doesn't bother me. But I guess that cup of coffee is more like a status symbol, functioning much like a frilly toothpick on a deli sandwich. It serves no nutritional purpose, but it looks good and holds things together.

The coffee isn't a big deal to me, it is the food. That part I agree with you on.

"Fuck me? Fuck you! Fuck you and this whole city and everyone in it.

Fuck the panhandlers, grubbing for money, and smiling at me behind my back.

Fuck squeegee men dirtying up the clean windshield of my car. Get a fucking job!

Fuck the Sikhs and the Pakistanis bombing down the avenues in decrepit cabs, curry steaming out their pores and stinking up my day. Terrorists in fucking training. Slow the fuck down!

Fuck the Chelsea boys with their waxed chests and pumped up biceps.

Going down on each other in my parks and on my piers, jingling their dicks on my Channel 35.

Fuck the Korean grocers with their pyramids of overpriced fruit

and their tulips and roses wrapped in plastic. Ten years in the country,

still no speaky English? Fuck the Russians in Brighton Beach.

Mobster thugs sitting in cafés, sipping tea in little glasses, sugar cubes

between their teeth. Wheelin' and dealin' and schemin'. Go back where you

fucking came from!

Fuck the black-hatted Chassidim, strolling up and down 47th street in their dirty

gabardine with their dandruff. Selling South African apartheid diamonds!

Fuck the Wall Street brokers. Self-styled masters of the universe.

Michael Douglas, Gordon Gecko wannabe mother fuckers, figuring out new ways to rob

hard working people blind. Send those Enron assholes to jail for fucking life! You think

Bush and Cheney didn't know about that shit? Give me a fucking break! Tyco! Imclone!

Adelphia! Worldcom!

Fuck the Puerto Ricans. 20 to a car, swelling up the welfare rolls,

worst fuckin' parade in the city. And don't even get me started on the Dumb-in-i-cans,

because they make the Puerto Ricans look good.

Fuck the Bensonhurst Italians with their pomaded hair, their nylon warm-up suits,

and their St. Anthony medallions. Swinging their, Jason Giambi, Louisville slugger,

baseball bats, trying to audition for the Sopranos.

Fuck the Upper East Side wives with their Hermés scarves and their fifty-dollar

Balducci artichokes. Overfed faces getting pulled and lifted and stretched, all taut and shiny.

You're not fooling anybody, sweetheart!

Fuck the uptown brothers. They never pass the ball, they don't want to play defense, they take fives steps on every lay-up to the hoop. And then they want to turn around and blame everything on the white man. Slavery ended one hundred and thirty seven years ago. Move the fuck on!

Fuck the corrupt cops with their anus violating plungers and their 41 shots, standing behind a blue wall of silence. You betray our trust!

Fuck the priests who put their hands down some innocent child's pants.

Fuck the church that protects them, delivering us into evil. And while you're at it, fuck JC!

He got off easy! A day on the cross, a weekend in hell, and all the hallelujahs of the legioned angels for eternity! Try seven years in fuckin Otisville, Jay!

Fuck Osama Bin Laden, Alqueda, and backward-ass, cave-dwelling, fundamentalist assholes everywhere. On the names of innocent thousands murdered, I pray you spend the rest of eternity with your seventy-two whores roasting in a jet-fueled fire in hell. You towel headed camel jockeys can kiss my royal, Irish ass!

Fuck Jacob Elinski, whining malcontent.

Fuck Francis Xavier Slaughtery, my best friend, judging me while he stares at my girlfriend's ass.

Fuck Naturel Rivera. I gave her my trust and she stabbed me in the back. Sold me up the river. Fucking bitch.

Fuck my father with his endless grief, standing behind that bar.

Sipping on club soda, selling whiskey to firemen and cheering the Bronx Bombers.

Fuck this whole city and everyone in it. From the row houses of Astoria to the penthouses on Park Avenue. From the projects in the Bronx to the lofts in Soho.

From the tenements in Alphabet City to the brownstones in Park slope to the split levels in Staten Island. Let an earthquake crumble it. Let the fires rage.

Let it burn to fuckin ash then let the waters rise and submerge this whole, rat-infested place!"

[Guest StylesMark]

Are you upset because your stomach can't handle coffee? What's the problem?

[EricMM 0]

That was a fine movie.

 

You, Hotbutter, need to learn to ignore people.

 

If the professor allows it, eat or drink what you like...

[Dobbs 3K 0]

Geez, people eat and drink coffee. It's part of life. If they are being loud or obnoxious, it's one thing, but get over it already. Ever worked in an office? People eat snacks and drink coffee to get through the day there, too.

 

You seem to indicate that a cup of coffee somehow is some poseur status symbol more than anything.

There's about ten minutes inbetween classes. You can't eat a goddamn sandwich in ten minutes? Or drink your beverage of choice in under the ten minute marker? I'm not asking anyone to throw their hot cup of coffee down their system and burn their insides, I'm just asking for the noise level to be toned down just a bit. You know the sound of someone opening up a big a chips correct? Now add a squeaky chair, stomping of the feet, constant bobbing of the head while chewing, and then of course the tough search for the perfect chip in the bag. Now, keep in mind that your professor speaks in a montone and refuses to raise his voice because he thinks the class is quite. Those chips being chewed sound like some drilling be done at 5am in the morning while you are trying to sleep, or better yet like a dump truck making all this FUCKING noise just to pick up one trash can.

 

I don't need to adjust myself, people just need to stop with the loud shit while they eat. I know it's good and shit and your day probably just got better now that you had your bagel with strawberry cream cheese, but just eat it a little more silent.

[Guest StylesMark]

Eating a bagel with cream cheese is not loud.

Hotbutter Spoontoaster, one of my alledged enemies, has just gotten major cool points for his original post. I totally agree.

 

BTW, on a un-related college note (but FEEL GOOD STORY):

 

I'm gonna be a super senior this year (my final year of college) because I took a second major (Interactive Multimedia aka web/DVD/video game design) to my other major of Technology Education that I finished.

 

Anyway, my parents were all: "WHAT? A SECOND YEAR OF SCHOOL? THINK ABOUT THE MONEY!"

 

I'll admit, they pay for my tuition. But they weren't going to for a 5th year. So I'm all brave and "I will step up and pay for it!"

 

Well yesterday was August 17th and I had approx. $50 to my name for this "tuition I was paying for." I go to see my bill, and because I am a year older and 5th year:

 

Fall Tution: $5,700

 

Fall Grants: $6,800

 

HAHAHAHAHAHA FUCK YEAH MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

FREE FUCKING SCHOOL! I LOVE GRANTS! GRANT SHOW FROM MELROSE PLACE, HUGH GRANT FROM THOSE FUCKING JULIA ROBERTS FLICKS, AND GRANTS! HORACE GRANT!!!!

 

GRANTS GRANTS GRANTS! I'm in a happy mood.

I hate those fucking coffee drinkers. The same ones that give me looks of disgust for smoking (don't worry they're all emo or march in parades or fatasses with no social skills) sit there 5 minutes into class "UM, Are we gonna get a break?!?" and then start pouring sugar into their Starbucks cups and break out the shitty organic veggie chips.

[kkktookmybabyaway 0]

I could have sworn I read a thread like this before here.

 

Anyway, just fart and burp a lot. That'll even the score.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

I Went to a Culinary Arts College so uh..we were eating a lot durring classes when we weren't actually cooking.

[Guest Felonies!]

I just drink water, as I'm easily irritated by all that stuff too.

[tominator89 0]

College kids whine about being poor but have no problem paying $5 for a cup of coffee.

[Guest Hotbutter Spoontoaster]

Seriously. Yeah, Starbucks is good and shit, I may get it every so often, but these kids get it everyday, routinely. It's like they're rubbing it in my face!

[Guest Vitamin X]

I drink cuban coffee (aka double espresso with a shitload of sugar), which costs about 50 cents and gets me wired for the day. Sometimes I had two, and once I forgot I had the second one and I drank a Red Bull, and I had the cardio spell I get every so often if I drink too much caffeine (I feel all my circulation throughout my body, I get dizzy, I get really hyper and start sweating, have to drink a lot of water and pee a lot- it's similar to being on meth, just without the euphoria).

 

I don't think it's unreasonable for someone to have a drink in class. Food is silly, but you also can't expect people to get through a line, order a meal, get said meal, eat it with enough time to not cause indigestion, and get to class within 10 minutes, either. Chips and whatnot doesn't count as a meal, either.

 

This is why I like longer classes. You get a longer break in the middle, or you're already stuffed from beforehand or getting ready to eat a big meal afterward. People for some reason tend to eat more during the shorter classes.

Mr. Spoontoaster, I feel your pain. People like this seem to be the bane of my existence when I'm trying to learn about shit like the Rescorla-Wagner model.

[Guest StylesMark]

Drink some coffee and shut up, phagz.

[Slayer 0]

The only thing I get from Starbucks are fraps, and I've even been shying away from those the last couple of months

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

I've never had a cup of coffee in my life.

[Guest Vitamin X]

And if you ever do at your age, you'll probably have a heart attack.

Christ, drinking fucking coffee in class makes me pretensious? Pepole eating chips in class hurts your ears? Does your pussy hurt?

[Guest Hotbutter Spoontoaster]

Fuck you, you piece of shit.

Alright, but I'm on top.

That's what I'm talking about.

So your alley or mine?

No, and it doesn't make you pretentious either, just a fucking retard.
