Man's Coffee Cup Twitter Account Restores Faith in Humanity
Every generation laments the passing of those utopian good-ole days when people apparently always treated one another with respect and compassion. The Internet has only exacerbated those grumblings, as people constantly bemoan living in an instantly gratified society with increasingly narcissistic attitudes.
But, at least one crusader is using a so-called narcissistic and shallow avenue to disprove those Information Age haters. The RoofCoffeeCup Twitter account is attempting to prove that people really do care about one another, or, at least, one another's coffee. According to Boing Boing, a guy known as GitEmSteveDave has magnetically attached a Starbuck's coffee cup to the roof of his car and tweets about people's reactions to the precarious cup in peril.
Amazingly, dozens of concerned citizens have attempted to save the java from a tragic highway death. During just one drive, RoofCoffeeCup claims to have prompted "13 honks, 1 flash, 1 whistle, 4 tells, 5 points, 7 Along-Side-Riders, 1 Stop Light Tell, 1 Stop Light Get Out, 2 2xTakes and 1 stare." But, according to the nostalgic halcyon-days folks, all those would-be coffee cup Samaritans were probably just flipping off the driver and calling him an idiot. [From: Boing Boing]
