I never bother with ice; it is usually cold enough anyway (and isn’t going to warm THAT fast), plus I don’t like the taste when the ice melts, so I can get more soda for the same level of filling.
Just like a bunch of fucking idiots.
How about getting a table, sit down, eat a couple of bites whilst waiting for the line to clear and then getting up to go get your precious soda.
Nope. You retards would rather stand in line and wait and then get all pissed off at a guy who was there before you that he took an extra 7.8 seconds to get his cup filled to the top.
You idiots were just trying to find a reason to get pissed off, probably because of childhood issues and most likely becuase uncle Frank touched you in funny places, and here was an opportunity so you guys took it and then got all pissed off and then enjoyed yourselves in your pissed off state as that was what you were seeking in the first place.
You need therapy.
How do we feel about sharing a fountain? I mean, if there’s a line, and I’m filling it up with Coke, I have no objection to someone else simultaneously filling up with (ugh) Dr. Pepper six spigots over. I’m unlikely to try this myself though.
@Drunky Smurf – be honest, it’s not 7.8 seconds. You’re standing there for five minutes topping off, getting a lid affixed, and straw inserted. Then you go to the jammed parking lot, sit in your car with the backup lights on, and leisurely drink your soda. When you finish, you put the car back in park and go for a refill.
I think there’s a formula somewhere you could follow.
Actually, that’s easy. They mix automatically in the right proportion and any excess of one or the other just goes away. If you’re having trouble, you’re doing something wrong.
Root beer fizzes excessively, if you can’t wait then leave. Oh yeah make those little impatient sounds to my back, I’ll drink the damn thing and fill it up again while you keep making them.
Socialist!
(Well, I’ve actually heard people claim that compromise is socialism. It’s tough being a moderate in a highly polarized world…)
Speaking of which…
Coke or Pepsi? If they’re getting Pepsi, I let 'em have all the time they need, but if they’re getting Coke, I shove against 'em and make 'em spill it. Cokechafers.
(“anyone who takes this seriously…deserves to.”)
If the soda I want is on the other side of the ice dispenser from He Who Must Have It Exactly Right Or So Help Us All, I just go for it. There’s room for two. But I also have a philosophy of if my schedule is so tight delays like waiting in lines are going to throw me off, I pack a lunch. I can’t trust other people to not waste my time so I don’t give them the opportunity.
After reading your next post in this thread, I have a feeling you make life shittier for more people than I do. 
<snip>
Do you not agree that the government should decide how long each [del]pleb[/del] person gets to fill their cup, and the maximum amount of time others must wait for their turn??? Why are you resisting this Utopia, that will allow everyone to drink soda in harmony??? Traitor!!!1! :mad:
(yes,that face is red, baby!) 
Maybe smurfs get drunky on the unlimited refills. It’s just the carbonated crack talking…
boomerwang: Lassez-faire free-market capitalism, all the way! No regulations! Traditional marketplace remedies (aka “by the short hairs” and “over a barrel” and “If he be like to die, he had better do it, and decrease the surplus population” and “I got mine!”) will, via the sacred magic of the invisible hand, maximize the soda for everyone in the “one per cent” and, of course, those persons who are not in the “one per cent” should be drinking creek water and sweating in the cotton fields anyway, and not aping their betters by partaking of carbonated swizzles.
We didn’t have these debates before Franklin Roosevelt and Adolf Hitler came along and nationalized the steel industry. It’s as clear as the face on your nose; God didn’t mean for poor and rich to rub shoulders. Segregation is the natural order of things. John Birch died for our sins. Get the U.S. out of the U.N. and the U.N. out of the U.S. Back when I used to pump gas…
Too much sugar. That’s your problem. Not a lot of sugar mind you. Just an extra ounce or two maybe. Probably should leave some room at the top of your big gulp. It’ll make a world of difference.
I can get behind this pitting, too. And I hope that a writer for The Simpsons is reading this thread.
John Birch thought he knew more than he did… and he was bitter about Glorious Socialism coz he drank soda once, and the bubbles burnt his tongue. He took the typical capitalist cop-out approach of “hey, this overly gassy soda caused me a problem my cash cow can’t lick clean!”, so he went completely Adolf-ish on people’s freedom to enjoy soda. Roosevelt got steelburn from a kinky experiment overdone, and had a similar dummy spit. This narrow-mindedness can be traced back to the Romans, who also persecuted us Repairers of Society. But, as we pinkies say, one gas bubble in a soda can can be ignored - but the bubbles will unite, and throw off our lassez-faire free-market shackles! Arise, oh mighty soda bubbles! We shall bring such violent abdominal pangs upon our segregation-mongers! jazz hands
I can’t get behind this pitting because you will never find me drinking pop ever again. Its one of the reasons our society is getting overwhelmed by diabetes and obesity. You pop drinkers worried about having to wait? It is your weight, not wait, you should be concerned about.
Hey, the water dispensing tab is on the pop machine too, so get back in line, ya health nut.
University cafeteria. Self-service AND the pleasure of paying another $2 if I want a refill.
You can fucking wait.
I… (breaks up in giggles…) Soda shall… (breaks up in giggles…) The soda shall be divided among the peasants… (oh, hades, breaks up in uncontrollable giggles…)
You win!
(I owe ya a beer!)
Actually, I thought we got to drink the soda which trickled down the sides of the 1%'s supersized cups as they overfill.
