so you can't get a quality cup of coffee through a drive thru

Dunkin Donuts has drive through at some locations. Their coffee (not sure about lattes or other fancy drinks) but the actual coffee is top notch.

If you like burnt, old water with shots of "concentrated coffee mix" sure... I'm gonna steer clear though

To each their own. I drink my coffee black with no sweetener or cream. So I am pretty picky about the taste. For convenience, DD is better than Starbucks, McD, or anywhere else that I can order quickly. It is better than any retailer coffee that I see in stores.

I prefer my coffee to not taste like crap

It's not even real. Their coffee comes from a pre-brewed concentrated mix, and is usually burnt and stale because they let it sit for hours on end.

Is it really that hard to brew your own blends?

Convenience. It doesn't really matter how it is made. It matters how it tastes. Maybe I have a lucky location but it has never once been burnt.

Again though, most people don't drink black coffee and want something sweet. Maybe adding creams and sugars to your coffees makes a difference. To each their own.

I always drink my coffee black. Maybe you just haven't had good coffee if your comparisons are "McD's, Starbucks, and DD's"

grocery stores sell whole beans. not only do you get a better product, but it is cheaper than going to the "McD's, Starbucks, and DD"

Alright, here are mine--keep in mind they are pertinent to my location (PacNW):

Assbags who, in spite of living in an area which has a forecast of "Rain" between September and June, forget how to drive in it and decide to slow down to 10MPH or more under the speed limit. More stopping distance from the car in front of you? Yes, that's smart, but doing 35MPH oin the freeway at the 1st sign of drizzle is more likely to get you killed than doing 55-65 in the rain.

Assbags who, in spite of living in that same area where the forecast is "Rain" from September to June, complain about the rain and lack of sun in the winter. Move back to California. This area is not known for cheap housing. You can move somewhere sunnier, and cheaper, and hey, even a place sunnier and cheaper that doesn't snow in the winter.

Recorded Telemarketing calls.

Cow-irkers who assume that just because you're not working on their project, that you have availability to work on their project and are more than willing to drop everything urgent to work on their low-priority job.

Cow-irkers who leave you a stack of work 5 minutes before when you're supposed to leave, and then take off with little or no documentation.

The genetic cul-de-sacs who can't figure out how to use the self-checkout kiosks at any store that has them, but insist on using them anyway.

That's all for now.
