Can someone please help me?

I’m going to explain to you what happens to me about 80% of the time I purchase hot coffee from a coffee establishment, and I am seeking your advice:

1. I purchase a small, medium, or large hot coffee. It comes in a cup like this:

2. I add cream and sugar and replace the plastic lid, making sure the mouth opening is not placed on top of the seam in the cup, as I have found that this results in extra spillage. 

3. I continue on my journey to work/leisure activities, all the while a simulated earthquake is taking place inside my paper coffee cup.

4. I stop, reexamine the lid to make sure, again, that the mouth opening is not on the seam of the cup. I remove the lid and move the mouth opening to the furthest possible point from the cup’s seam.

5. Coffee streams down my hand and arm and clothes and coat and face and entire being for the entire length of time I drink coffee from the cup.

My question is: What the fucking piece of shit fuck?

  3. tlexx answered: Girl, that happened to me yesterday morning with a Dunkin’ Cup and those don’t even have seams!
  4. makefast answered: too full. needs lower coffee level relative to top of cup. bigger cup or less coffee (former being more ideal than latter)
  5. adventureswithcarbs answered: NO IDEA BUT THIS HAPPENS TO ME TOO!!!
  6. umyeahwhatever answered: You may be squeezing the cup ever so slightly when walking (to make sure you don’t drop it) and that pushes the coffee out the opening
  7. sarahmakesyoustronger answered: when you order your coffee, ask them to leave room for cream and sugar.
  8. yaysarcasm answered: I still can’t figure out if you put milk in first or sugar first.
  9. 50fuckingtimes answered: The plastic lids are not designed for human faces. I started using two long coffee stirrers as a straw, which kinda feels like daydrinking :)
  10. alexieileen answered: Wha?! That has never happened to me, and I was a barista for 3 years. What the fucking piece of shit fuck?
  11. adakatarina answered: Sometimes it helps to run your thumbs over the rim of the lid, with extra pressure to seal it shut. It’s not perfect but it’s worth trying!
  12. wayofftarget answered: Obivous: 1. Put less coffee in. 2. Buy a cute reusable tumbler. Less so: Walk smoother? Ryan spills, I never do (prob. from waitressing).
  13. jaygabler answered: This kills me, too. Why can’t disposable coffee cups be improved? thetangential.com/2011/…
