I'd rather they take the coffee stirrers than the coffee. Or my job. Be grateful for what you DO have.

Instead of spending so much on stirrers, why not use a teaspoon? Wash and use. Big deal!!!

You should get a gold star for improvising. Gee I wonder what people did before stir sticks were mass produced?

In my day, I had to make coffee using dirt and a hobo's used underwear instead of a filter. And it was ice cold! And I had to stir it with a cigarette butt! But I liked it, dagnabbit!

you should appreciate the things you still have. Some people have to chew coffee and drink cold water and shake their body to mix it.

Today, my boyfriend and I were in our room getting hot and heavy. As he was entering me, he started making electronic whirring sounds. Once inside, he said in a robotic voice, "Initiating launch sequence in 3... 2... 1..." and began thrusting as fast as possible. FML
