Starbucks & Lawyers

I went into Starbucks tonight for a late night treat. Jeff said that the prices were going up, which could cause me a problem. As between petrol and mocha, I'm inclined to choose a mocha, which means that I might be low on gas more often. Yes, that does not bode well. Moreover, the workers at Starbucks treat me better than the workers at the gas station. I have yet to be yelled at by one Starbucks' employee for talking on a cell phone while filling up with mocha.

Here's my conversation tonight:

SB: You're in a much better mood than you were yesterday morning.

Me: I had a trial starting yesterday and wasn't in a good mood. Sorry.

SB: You're a lawyer?

Me: Yep.

SB: You don't act like a lawyer. I figured you were a teacher.

Me: Thanks for the compliment.

SB: Yeah, lawyers are ... ummm ...

Me: Assholes.

SB: Totally.

Yeah, like totally.

At least SB didn't mistake you for one of those nasty gas station workers.

When I have bad thoughts about lawyers I just think of you and then the bad thoughts go away.

i think the 'chatting on cell phone while filling up' is a urban legend.
