Rob’s Ultra Minor Annoyance of the Week: You Don’t NEED That Frappuccino
I must be extra cranky tonight, because this is really being nit-picky. It always bugs me when I see somebody in Starbucks who says “I NEED a skim half-caf extra foam green tea frappaccino.” You don’t NEED it. Maybe you could say you WANT it. Or you would LIKE it. But you don’t NEED it.
The stereotypical person who does this and sort of bugs me when they say “NEED” is usually a snobby looking lady in her late thirties who looks like she hasn’t worked a day in her life and is driving an H2 Hummer. I think that I just need to get to sleep.

You make me smile, Rob.
Having been a tad bit (ok, more than a tad bit) of a caffeine/coffee addict in my pre-baby days, I can tell you that the nasty caffeine-withdrawal headaches certainly could have constituted a “need” for coffee of some sort. However, I know this is most likely not the case with these particular ladies.
I’ll probably laugh aloud the next time I hear this in line.
*hugs*
