Today, my friend and I walked 3 miles to a Starbucks. We went inside, paid for our coffees and walked the 3 miles back to my house. We forgot to pick up our coffees. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I walked to Starbucks. On the way a homeless guy asked me for change and I lied and said I had no money. On my way back, Strawberry Frappuccino in hand, the same guy recognized me. He followed me for 3 blocks, swearing and yelling at me. FML
Today, I was walking with a friend after buying two cups of steaming hot coffee. While crossing the busiest street in town I tripped and fell, spilling the coffee all over me. My friend didn't notice I fell right in front of her and tripped over me spilling her coffee on me as well. FML
Today, I went to Starbucks to get my free birthday coffee and due to a mistake I received two. Thinking it was my lucky day, I hurried off to work. As I was walking in, I tripped and spilt one coffee all over my new dress. Then I walked into a door and spilt the other. FML
Today, I had to admit that my coffee addiction is really bad when I woke up in a Starbucks with no memory of how I got there. FML
Today, I saw an elderly man struggling to make it across a busy street. I jumped up from my table at Starbucks to help him, leaving my things behind. When I got back to my table feeling good, I found that my coffee had disappeared. So had my wallet. FML
Today, I walked all the way across campus to eat the first meal I've had all day. After waiting for my food in a congested line for 30 minutes, I got to the register to pay. Turns out my wallet was a twenty minute walk away, back in my apartment. FML
Today, I went to meet a potential client at Starbucks all the way across town about designing his website. I was extremely excited because I really need the work. I sat for an hour. Turns out he was across the street, at the other Starbucks. FML
Today, I walked two miles to the store, filled my cart with groceries, and got to the cashier… only to find I had forgotten my wallet. I tried to explain but got the nastiest stank-eye from the cashier, the manager, and everyone in line behind me. I walked two miles home, hungry and embarrassed. FML
Today, I was walking out of Starbucks when I sneezed, causing coffee to burn my nose. I screamed, dropped it, and sent scorching coffee all over my legs, while dropping everything else I was holding. FML
Today, some friends and I went to IHOP. We joked about not having enough money, and as it turns out we were $5 short. We put down what we had and left. Upon getting to the car, I realized I'd forgotten my phone, and had to go back. I made eye contact with our waitress, our money in her hand. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Obviously you two didn't need the caffeine too bad, eh? Besides, a nice walk is good for you.

That's a latte time and money to spend to end up with nothing to drink

I don't really see how two people capable of walking three miles for coffee can forget all about it on the way back, were neither of you planning on drinking the coffee till you got home and it was cold? :s. oh well though shit happens

FYL for not having a Starbucks closer, but YDI for forgetting the coffee. How can you even do that?

Seriously; I admittedly come from the birthplace of Starbucks, but I don't have to walk more than one block to find at least one Starbucks.

Does nobody own a damn coffee machine? Starbucks tastes like used coffee grounds from the trash can, filtered though a pair of skid marked underwear.

But you cannot make a white mocha latte at home. Or even a white mocha frapp because Starbucks (last time I checked) are greedy bastards with their white mocha sauce and refuse to sell it :(

Starbucks is coffee for people who do not like coffee. This is the secret to their success. Hipsters can look "cool" while drinking a hot "adult drink" - but since they don't really like coffee they will pay $5 to have it loaded with syrup, whipped cream, caramel, and so on. It is pure genius, and I wish I had thought of it first!

It's not about being a 'hipster' or 'looking cool', it's about liking all the fun drinks they have. My sister and I get together and get starbucks coffee drinks after dinner and chat. We're not trying to impress the people around us. We just like it and it's sweet like a dessert.

There are very few things i cannot make that Starbucks can. All one needs is a coffee machine and a $35 espresso machine. I have saved thousands of dollars making my own drinks. If you want an icy shit drink then go McDonald's. At least half the price for something of better quality.

You guys are idiots. Even if you guys were in deep conversation, the worse you could do is forget the straw, but forget the coffee? Smh

1. Why would u walk 3 miles for Starbucks? The stuff isnt that good. 2. How is your nearest Starbucks 3 miles away? I have 4 around me n the furthest being about 1.5miles away. Support ur local PRIVATELY OWNED coffee shops, more chance ull get a better product for the same price or cheaper, better service, and a helluva lot more customer appreciation

According to google maps the closest starbucks to me is roughy 300 miles away from me. I kind of doubt it though.

I have no 'local coffee shops'. My nearest Starbucks is over an hour away. (We don't all live in cities...)
