RANT: get your greasy hands off of my coke!

so this rant is really a two-parter. the more recent event reminded me of a previous occurrence that was similar. and to preface, i love coca-cola. its like the greatest non-alcoholic beverage ever. EVER. its not too sweet like pepsi, and has a nice bite to it, which is probably why i like root beer too. anyway, here we go...

so we had a lunch meeting today, which was kind of cool because lunch was actually on the company. we all were requested to email our orders yesterday, which i did: shredded pork in garlic sauce and a coke. so i go to the meeting, and people have already picked up their food from the side table, so i go to get my meal. wait... they forgot the coke. dammit. wait. other people have coke... thats weird. wait, here's the list of people and their orders... that fucker is drinking MY coke. he ordered a diet coke, and unfortunate for him, they fucked up his order, so why fuck with mine too? now not only is the restaurant just a bunch of dicks, but now so are you! man this shredded pork is good... a little spicy. you know what would really hit the spot right about now? my fucking coke. assbag.

so that situation reminded me of something that happened to me while at my first job here in the city. about once a month the department would have a pizza (or if anyone was quick enough to organize something different w/the same budget) lunch. everyone in the office was at least 5-10 years older than me. read: metabolism slowing down, more sedentary lifestyle, yet more 'health conscious', or so they say... so when i first started, the only drinks that the admin would order were diet. so after the second or third month, i asked her to get me a regular coke. no problem she said. next pizza lunch, guess what beverage was picked up by someone else before i got there? thats right, MY coke. so at the time, i was like, ok, no biggie, get the admin to get a few more next time. next time, all 4 regular cokes are taken by these jerks that have no self control when it comes to having something they want but say that they shouldnt have. so this time i actually call them out on it, and for the rest of my tenure there, everyone remembers to leave my fucking coke alone.
