Boy am I pissed. Oh and psychologically distraught. I bought a cup of coffee at Starbucks this morning while driving to work it spilled. Not on me mind you, but on my car radio. Now the button that changes FM/AM modes is non-functional. I am stuck listening to sports radio! When you conflate the absence of my morning NPR fix and Chicago Sports Radio, you are headed for severe depression.

I am thinking I can easily sue for material damages to the button and psychological damages as well.
 
You should at least sue for a new car, one with a deeper cup holder for the coffee. *nods*
 
Sue the car radio manufacturer, Starbucks, the car company, the labor union that built the car, your municipality for faulty roads, the radio network that you are forced to listen to, and last but not least, sue yourself for being such a clumsy dork. :eek: :D
 
Your distress alone warrants compensation.

I'd like a car from the proceeds ok? Consulting fees you know.
 
What I wouldn't do for a Starbucks near by.... *sigh*
 
You're in Dallas and there's not a Starbucks near you?! When I lived in The Village after undergrad, I had three Starbucks within a mile of my apartment. The place is crawling with them.
 
Perhaps you should just sue yourself! Hell, the payout ought to cover the increased premiums...:rolleyes:

Have you ever seen Volkswagens poor excuse for cup holders? A flimsy plastic arm precariously holds your beverage over your radio, cigarette lighter and stick shift. I guess the Germans are trying to discourage drinking and driving.
 
I'm glad I'm not a coffee drinker (or caffiene drinker for that matter). I would absolutely turn into hell on wheels without my radio/CD player. I gotta sing along with my tunes, man.

So you think the car dealer and salesman should get off?

Actually I live about 20 miles south of Dallas in Ellis county. Dallas is good for a geographical landmark for all who dont live around here. :D

I thought there was a Starbucks no further than 5 miles from anywhere in the civilized world!

Oh, I can still sing, its just that now I can hear myself.

LOL. Well, see that's why I have my volume up loud enough to shake the windows... just so I can't hear myself. Cat's screeeching sound better than me singing.

Don't I wish.

There is one about 15 - 20 minutes away. But, I would love to be able to just walk a block away and pick up my favorite delectable treat.


Iced Caramel Machiotto... (sp?)

Yeah, go ahead, rub it in that I live in an uncivilized area of the world. :( *sniffle*


That's okay, I don't like coffee. But I love the smell.

I wonder if a coffee cologne for men would be a big seller... mmm.

Nah, we wouldn't be able to smell them, what with the huge mugs o' Starbucks in our hands.

Bay rum is the ultimate scent for men. I literally have to resist the urge to nuzzle the neck of men that wear that scent. I got some for Mr. Mischka, and he can't wear it to work because I always make him late when he does. ;)

<Writing in little book of personal factoids> Get some bay rum cologne and go to Starbucks.
