I am borrowing my dad's car and am unfamiliar with warning lights and sounds. So, when the low fuel warning went off this morning I decided to get petrol on my lunch break. There is a gas station not too far from work, plus they have a Dunkin Donuts. Yay, coffee it is. I had coupons, so I handed the man (monosylabic boy) behind the counter my coupon for a 99 cent medium hot coffee. This is basically all I get at this establishment aside from the occasional breakfast sandwich. I just love their coffee, they put an addictive chemical in it. The guy started to get my coffee and his co-worker swoops in and says is this a new one. I don't know I say, so she reads it and says it expired and hands me back the coupon and has a very unnerving smug look on her face as if to non verbally say, what now B----? To which I replied, okay, well, I still want it.
I thought oh my dear heavens! What if this actually mattered. She found way too much self worth in having the authority to deny me the use of a coffee coupon. This is exactly why our government has a system of checks and balances. Absolute power corrupts absolutly, even if it is only over coffee.

You should have started singing that song, "Move B----! Get out the way! Get out the way B----! Get out the way!"
Do you know what song I'm talking about? Here on the south side of Chicago that is a common song that we all sing in the neighborhood! ;)
Call me if you want me to sing it to you!
