    Man, I think the “don’t talk to me before my coffee” shit is so cringy. It’s overplayed and honestly if you can’t be a functional human before having drugs, you gotta sort yourself out.

      Counterpoint: people have to get up at all kinds of horrible hours of the day in order to enslave themselves to their employers voluntarily, so letting them take back a few minutes of their day through passive aggressive mug-credos is the least we can do.

      I think you’re missing the point. People don’t like to be bombarded at their job , shitty or not as soon as they get there. But at least this way you don’t come off as an asshole.

      I miss when cringe actually meant cringe, not it’s just things people don’t like.

        The condescending tone in Now you make speak would absolute mark the cup owner as an asshole to me.

      I can’t function without coffee but I’m also not going to make it other people’s problem.

      Like I’ll be unable to truly “get awake” and will suffer from migraines, but I’m not going to act like it’s not my responsibility. I’ll groggily respond to ya instead of being an antisocial bitch.

        This is me, I work with kids everyday and dig deep to try to give them a good day. I have a co worker who doesn’t though, it pisses me off that she’s rude and cranky with kids before “I have my coffee”. Which is why I thought of this meme…

      Hi, I have ADHD and “sorting myself out” was getting a prescription for drugs, without which I cannot be a functional human being. A lot of people I’ve met with un-diagnosed/recognised ADHD use caffeine as a crutch. It is usually the only widely available, legal, and relatively non-harmful stimulant they have access too. Thanks for reinforcing a harmful stereotype that prevents people like me from accessing life-saving medication.

      Tell that to my job that demands I’m awake at 6am after working until midnight the night before.

      The difference is coffee isn’t gonna make me steal my neighbors TV for more coffee.

      With that said don’t talk to me before I’ve smoked my first bowl because you’re all fuckin annoying until then.

      PS you were all annoying before I started smoking weed and now you’re tolerable

      “Don’t talk to me before I’ve had my meth.”

      Yeah, exactly, when you substitute another drug in, it sounds just as fucked up as it actually is.

      @Tehgingey @OttoVonNoob there’s more to that. The moment of quietness, reading a bit maybe, relaxing before getting to work. All of it is kind of in this don’t talk to me territory. Then a day of hell can begin.

      Source: I drink one small cup of good coffee daily, but that is the peace moment.

    A scale on the outside of an opaque container is as dumb as people who say “don’t talk to me before I have had my coffee”

      Dude I am not a morning person and morning is whenever tf I wake up. When I wake up I’m a child. I have no regulations on my emotions and no filter for my thoughts.

      We say that because we know you’re a sensitive little baby and can’t handle us when we’re tired. God forbid anyone have empathy for not wanting to feel exhausted.

          Who the fuck else did they blame, you cynical dickhead? They literally said “when I wake up I’m a child”. That is, clear as day, an admission of their fault in this. Don’t step up with a “gotcha” before you finished reading. It makes you look simply desperate to put someone down.
