Caffeine maintains their coherence and high morale. Although they may seem busy, I think they should still know where to put their empty cups. Being busy is not an excuse to litter. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.worldcupcoffee.com/water-delivery-portland" rel="nofollow">Robert Mahan</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079135545885880256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38548109.post-34773637042227212462013-01-16T14:07:05.409+00:002013-01-16T14:07:05.409+00:00I call these 'trophy coffees'.

It's a cold day, you're thirsty you want a hot drink. Sometimes that's all it is.<br /><br />And to add to Claire's comment, the extra cups of coffee being carried around at all times, the food at gigs, the constant grazing. I suspect that a decade ago a lot of those people would have been smokers. There are a certain amount of cups of coffee have probably replaced a quick smoke between station and office for instance. And you can take your caffeine fix inside these days.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05163017415448622471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38548109.post-57074788449615240252013-01-07T00:04:10.333+00:002013-01-07T00:04:10.333+00:00Excellent post - I had not thought of it quite tha...Excellent post - I had not thought of it quite that way before but I think you are dead right on this David!<br /><br />The casual arrogance of the cups left in the pews...ghastly.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12124916104754527003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38548109.post-43628514865378366422013-01-06T21:58:23.029+00:002013-01-06T21:58:23.029+00:00It's an extension of the fact that people are ...It's an extension of the fact that people are eating and drinking all the time, unthinkingly. Go to a mega-gig somewhere, and as soon as the band starts, six blokes in the front row will get up to get beers, and an hour later will get up to get burgers. I watch families on days out who will be constantly grazing on ice creams, fizzy drinks, pizza, doughnuts and other crud.

I always read the opposite way round: the coffee cup person arrived in the area _early_ and had 10 minutes to kill; in search of warmth and WiFi they dove into the nearest coffee shop; the person before them ordered a triple choc marshmallow cinnamon mocha twirl or something; the coffee purchase took longer than expected; the coffee was mouth-stripped hot; they had to make a move still clutching a half-full cardboard cup. The late-coming coffee-toter is the one who thought they had time to kill.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958024608364556366noreply@blogger.com
