What your coffee order says about you


Finals are just around the corner and that can only mean one thing:spending all hours of the day studying at the campus coffeehouse. Since you are obviously reading this instead of studying, why not take a moment to decode your fellow student’s coffee order. The first few are on the house.

organic chai latte

Girls: They have a masculine name and probably don’t shave

Guys: The only reason they are drinking this crap is because they are attempting to get into said girl’s pants


nonfat soy sugar free vanilla cafe au lait

They really like to hear themselves talk and most likely drive daddy’s car.


blueberry bagel, yogurt, kettle chips, turkey club, cookie, water

They are either hungover or Michael Phelps.


macchiato

They ordered this drink once during their semester abroad and are attempting to look cultured in front of their bros after that really ackward and embarrassing night at the frat house.


triple esspresso

They haven’t gone to class all year and are attempting to kill themselves by staying up for 40 hours to cram. Next semester, think ahead.


hot chocolate with sprinkles

Two words: momma’s boy.


black coffee

what they want it to say: I reject society’s consumerism and addiction to fluff drinks so I am drinking a real man’s coffee

what it really says: I’m here for the free wifi.

Whiny inmate

I worked at a prison as a corrections officer (prison guard) and there was a particular inmate there who always complained about everything. For three months I endured his rants on how the lights were too bright, the rooms too hot, the blankets too scratchy, and so on. Obviously this is prison and no one gets luxury accommodations. I reached the end of my rope one morning... Read More » when I had to go down the run and wake him up at 7 AM for transport somewhere else in the state for a medical procedure. The guy is all grumpy, complaining about how I'm getting him up at the "ass crack of dawn." He demanded to be allowed time to take a shower, heat and drink some coffee and have a smoke. The van taking him away was already waiting for him and I knew for a fact that he'd taken a shower before going to bed the night before. I told him there wasn't time for any of that, he just had to get dressed and get to the van. He begins swearing and ranting about how inhumanely we were treating him and after months of his complaints I couldn't hold it in anymore. "I know, it sucks how early you have to get up to get your free medical care, huh?" I told him. He was immediately silent . He got dressed and left in a huff. I later found out how he wrote a grievance to the warden about my comment. Inmate complaints are occasionally reason for worry, so I was nervous when the warden called me in to his office. It turned out he just thought my comment was hilarious and told me to keep up the good work.
