    Oh, I actually thought you meant that politically. My apologies.

    To answer your question, I have no idea.

    So Ronan isn't an asshole? When did that start?

    Also, I've never gone into a Starbucks and ordered a venti or grande anything. I ask for small, medium, or large and they translate. What's up with this one?

    Irony, thy name is Rodolfo...;)


    But seriously, how hard would it have been to just shake your head, swallow your pride and say "no, not with butter" (or whatever it was).

    "I just wanted a multigrain bagel," Rosenthal told the Post. "I refused to say 'without butter or cheese.'"

    1. A fucking dry multi-grain bagel? Yuck.

    When you go to Burger King, you don't have to list the six things you don't want."

    2. Yes, you do. If you don't say no pickles, you'll get pickles.

    "Linguistically, it's stupid, and I'm a stickler for correct English."

    3. Starbucks staff said Rosenthal incited the face-off by hurling profanities at the staffer.

    3 strikes and yooooooooooooooooooooooou're outa here!

    It's an over-reaction for sure, but I hate being corrected when I order a 16 oz. coffee from Starbucks and get asked by the barrista, "do you mean 'venti'?" as if they don't understand what I just said.

    They obviously don't understand what they are saying either, as a venti is a twenty oz. cup.

    Pretentious twerps.
