10). You find yourself window shopping in an up-scale, non-threatening little town and decide to stop for coffee. Upon leaving the establishment your gaze is directed to the other row of shops and restaurants on the other side of the street where, to your horror, you discover... Another Starbucks. Your head, unable to process this bit of information, promptly explodes.
"Be thankful you're healthy." "Be bitter you're not going to stay that way."
"Be glad you're even alive." "Be furious you're going to die."
"Things could be much worse." "They could be one hell of a lot better."
8.) You go in and ask for a small, and they tell you they don't do small. What is wrong with you, you corporate freaks?! No smalls?! I swear, if I actually liked coffee, and I had a gaggle of friends with me, I would order a small, let them tell me they don't do small, and then pin them with my hardest stare. "Did you just correct me? Did you just correct me, a customer? What happened to a customer always being right, huh?"
General: "Those aren't ideas; those are special effects."
Michael Bay: "I don't understand the difference."
6. You really don't like coffee... (obvious.)
5. They bulldozed your home for a new establishment of their corporation.
4. You're fired from Starbucks over something utterly ridiculous.
3. You pay bucks, you get ... coffee ??
2. There's no starbucks anywhere in your area and you're not familiar with it... Still, you have to make up reasons to hate them, because it's the rules of the game... Hate that.

@ Shana: weeeell, when I go to a coffeeshop in Holland, I don't go for the coffee, so to speak, in fact Dutch coffeeshops are known for quite a few things, but coffee isn't one of them.
