You're using a glass to slice a mango. You didn't break the DNA code and figure out something revolutionary.

i accept the fact that i am becoming the angry old man.

1. how to cut a mango - (i may have already grinded about this). A co-worker was trying to cut a mango and we were talking about how there must be some technique to cut a mango easy. so i youtubed "easy way to cut mango" and it brings up this video from "the produce guy". looks good. i start watching it and 56 seconds into the video he pulls out a fucking store bought mango slicer. something designed to only cut mangos.

who the hell buys a mango cutter.

why do you need to make a video of you using a "mango slicer"? if i had a mango slicer, i wouldnt be youtubing on an easy way to cut one in the first place.

2. starbucks. orig reason i came on here.

i order a venti dark roast for me and a tall dark roast for my office blgd cleaning guy. i watch the lady pour half the coffee from the "pike place" spout and not the dark roast.

she hands them to me.

me - "are these both dark roast?"

her - "yes."

me - "I saw you pouring it from the pike place."

her - "oh yeah, we are out of dark roast so i filled the half up w pike place. Do you want to wait while the dark roast brews?"

me - "why didnt you just tell me you were out of the dark roast in the first place?"

her - blank glazed stare ....

i just walk away telling her Ill be back ... after looking like an a hole to anyone who saw but didnt hear the convo.
