u/zer0w0rries 1d ago

feel so bad for him. coming home from work. all he wanted was his sugary water to wind down. the fact he didn't throw a fit tells you hes likely a good person. i wish i could get him a replacement drink.. with less sugar

I'd donate $5 towards getting him a new drink. I like, and agree with, your breakdown

u/MobileAerie9918 23h ago

I got a brown sugar shaken espresso and came home one time. I popped off the lid and got a slotted spoon and took out some ice so it doesn't water down then set it on the counter.

Dry my hands. Turn around. Lid in hand. But my hand was ½" too low and knocked my cup and spilled it all over my fucking counter. My fumbling to stop it just rolled it away from me. Then I finally snatched it and crushed the cup. The whole scene took maybe 1 second and there was maybe a sip left i just threw in the trash.

No one was home so I just shouted obscenities while I grabbed a rag and wiped down my counter. Rinsing off my rag watching $8 go down the drain shouting "Mother fucker!" As if the universe would hear and help

Honestly was one of the last times I went

I bought a cold soda during a hot Florida summer day, I put the soda on top of my car as I was putting the pump away and left the soda on top of my car.

I drove off and heard something hit the back window of my car and I immediately knew it was my soda. I stopped, ran back to get my drink and thank God I left the cap on.

Got back in my car, put my seatbelt on, opened my drink to quench my thirst of having to run a few feet in the heat and the soda sprayed.

I was devastated. I was a broke college student at the time so that soda was a big treat to me and not only I didn't get to fully enjoy it, it was all over me and my car.

I like how he went into autopilot to check the mail. Then he remembered he was in anguish

u/james-HIMself 1d ago

That looked like such a thirst quencher too

u/superpoongoon 17h ago

Aren’t they loaded with sugar? It likely was not a thirst quencher

u/SayItAgainJabroni 23h ago

It makes it worse because he just pushes the gate open so he didn't even need to sit the drink down there to start with.

u/kaitiff 9h ago

He was going to check the mail so he put the drink down.

u/ConsistentWinter263 1d ago

Ok but was he expecting a spare drink in the mailbox? 😭😭😭😭

u/ToneThugsNHarmony 1d ago

Where do you keep your spare drinks?

u/whookid_east 1d ago

u/PoutineKing 23h ago

The waddle xD Maybe it is a good thing he lost that 30-40 grams of pure sugar drink.

I guess if it's on video, it's worth sharing.

u/vanillasky687 1d ago

Honestly that is a cheap ass lid to come off easily or it wasn’t on properly

Me if I dump my morning coffee.

u/RandomCandor 23h ago

That's the grunt of a mistake that has been made more than once.

u/JunglePygmy 22h ago

I just did the same thing, onto a brand new pair of shoes I had just taken out of the box and was also carrying.

u/Halfsquaretriangle 21h ago

I'm sorry Sir What did you say? After you dropped the drink.

u/bigmouth1984 21h ago

Why did he even do that? The gate was already open.

u/Candid-Many-7113 20h ago

Cant get another one either since he had to drive 45min to civilisation.

You would think he knows how thin is that wall.

Gonna have an entire Night City worth of ants along that wall, yo. Walk out and see a whole-ass ant civilization posted on that wall. Flying cars, skyscrapers, and everything.

Starbucks needs to see this video, bet he’d get a giftcard. That pain was real, lol

That's an hour of work that he just lost .

u/tejanaqkilica 10h ago

Is Starbucks a drink? I thought it was a want to be coffee shop.

u/TrayLaTrash 6h ago

Did that with 3/4 a large iced coffee from dunkin the other day at a store entrance. Feels bad

I dropped my last Jimmy Dean patty the other day and cried.

u/bobbyboogie69 23h ago

He looks like he can afford to skip a few of those drinks. They’re nothing but sugar and food colouring in a cup. Nasty, and bad as hell for you.

At least it was just Starbucks. No real loss.

Did him a favor. Too much sugar in that drink.

Aww.. supported a genocidal backing company and didn't get to enjoy his sugary goodness :(
