Observation: People, The Ice to Coke Ratio: A Complaint Worthy of Dr. Becker

I thought I was in the movie Harold & Kumar go to White Castle (burgers) when I enter my local burger joint. In the movie, as you might have guessed, these two stoner protagonists encounter trials and tribulations of Biblical proportions. They are challenged on their quest to get a White Castle burger and quench a bad case if the munchies by police, rednecks, oversexed housewives, psychedelic visions, parties, and even a cameo by a well known movie star.

What is with this behavior? Pouring coke into your cup from the self serve dispenser at the fast food joint, then proceeding to pour it out and remix the ice to coke ratio. Repeat. Repeat again. Repeating this several times wasting both coke and ice until the mix is just right. In the process splattering coke and ice all around the dispenser so the poor minimum wage employees of the establishment have more stuff to clean. What the hell kind of immediate gratification sickness is this? What, these people can’t wait until some future episode to get the ice to coke mix just right? No, it’s got to be this glass of coke or forget it! And how the hell do you know what the right mix is anyway! All the while the rest of us are behind you in line waiting, thirsting, and salivating. Move it already!

Okay, now I feel better. .
