Why Do So Many People Walk Around Drinking Coffee Out Of Cardboard Cups These Days?

[dave50]

I'm sure they do it because they think it looks cool. What's wrong having a coffee before you set off?

A cardboard one Mamya ??

[-Talbot-]

I bet that it wasn't just isn't any old coffee cup ummm ... I bet it was a pret a manger?

Anything else simply wouldn't do!

[Mamyalynne]

Of course.

[-Talbot-]

and pret a manger too, Mamya?

[Mamyalynne]

Whatever I can lay my hands on really. Don't think we have those in the dark north.

I'm amazed people are this annoyed by this?

(I know it's dave50's shtick, but a little surprised at the responses!)

[Mamyalynne]

It's amazing most days here, welcome to AB.

I'm too posh to carry my own coffee/bottled water. I have "" a man "" for that .

Isn't Greggs also known as the Northhampton tapas? LOL

I was brought up to never smoke or drink in the street ;-) Seriously size must be a factor, don't they hold nearly 2 home mugsworth of coffee, takes far too long to drink sitting down.

Why do so many people walk around with their phone glued to their ears ?

Are they all giving instructions to their brokers ?

A storm in a teacup?

I was also told in my childhood it was vulgar to eat and drink in the street and taboo for women to smoke in the street. :-(

[ummmm]

Shut up, Melv :-)

I usually get my coffee from MaccyD's. By the time I'm back in the office it's the right temp.

[viv41]

I personally have never done it, but I don't knock those who do - nowt wrong with it !

[Islay]

Its not a case of trying to look cool, they are busy and want a coffee! I don't see what the issue is!

[Arksided]

OP, because it'd be too hot to cusp their hands.

[Prudie]

Retro exactly and even though my mum's gone I still never break that rule and i'm a smoker.

[mrs_overall]

Pah! Try living where I do where some tourists manage to walk around with a cardboard cup of coffee, fish and chips/ice cream cornet, a lit cigarette and numerous carrier bags....all at the same time

Paris ?
