    Only over expensive coffee. It's something only us aficionados understand. Seriously. I was at my son's school a while back and a teacher dropped an entire full Starbucks iced latte. Everyone in the hall joined together for a moment of silence.

    You would cry, too. Those things are $5-6 each now. Not to forget the absence of caffeine and how that affects one's day. D:

    Me too? I think not, Dear Lass. You would never catch me throwing away 5 to 6 clams on that toxic waste anyway.

    If it's particularly hot and I spilled it in my lap, on a new pair of pants, I probably would, twice.

  • I've cried over a lot more insignificant things than that.

    You tell me what is wrong with me.

    You like that burnt swill that Starbucks sells at ridiculously high prices? Really? You pay more for it so it's gotta be better, right? Must be the marketing . . .

    Get a French press and some properly roasted beans and grind them for the press. And don't boil the water, just heat it to almost boiling (it's a subtle difference, but you'll notice it if you have a discriminating palate.) Stir a few times while the coffee grounds "steep" in the water and use a timer.

    You're welcome.

    What is wrong is I dropped it right after paying 4 bucks for it at Starbucks.

    I don't buy Starbucks. I brew my own espresso at home.

    I must raise a point here: a spilled typical coffee drink (which often includes milk, sugar, and other flavorings) is a ROYAL PITA to clean up (especially on soft surfaces like upholstery and carpet). And if you don't clean it up THOROUGHLY, the smell (especially once the milk starts to spoil) is godawful.

    So, yes, spilling a coffee drink can be precursor to a large amount of unsatisfying labor, which might be worth shedding a tear or two (or shouting an M-F or two...;-D...) over.
