I hate people who wear cold weather gear in warm/heated places

    Ice in drinks, because I hate straws so I almost exclusively drink from the side of the glass. Ice slams into my teeth and makes me rage. What a first world problem lol

      Ice…slams into your teeth?

      Just pucker your lips a bit and use the top one to block the ice. I’m trying to think through how I drink from a glass of ice water or iced coffee and I’m relatively confident that’s how I do it…

      Okay I tried it out. My upper lip blocks the ice. Sometimes if I open my mouth more a cube will tap my teeth, but only gently because it was already held by the lip until then. The only way I could get ice to slam into my teeth was to like, hold my lip up in a sneer and just let the ice hit my teeth. But my instinctual ice-water-drinking method is to block ice with lip.

      Give it a try! Might change your life, cold ice water is fucking awesome.

        I think I might have a weird shaped mouth haha. To be honest I usually find ice cold drinks to also be too cold overall and painful on my throat. I drink any fluid like someone who just walked a day in a desert with no water…

        Actually, you know what I do like ice in? My hot drinks! I put a few cubes per cup of hot coffee or tea so I can drink it NOW, not in 20 minutes when it’s safe consumption temperature but I’ll have forgotten where the hell I put the mug

          Fair enough, lol. I got a good chuckle out of the image of downing any drink by just dumping the whole thing straight down your throat. 😂

      Yeeeeeees. Why would anyone ever want ice in their drinks?

      1. You get less of the drink you paid for
      2. It ends up watered down.
      3. Cold = less flavour
      4. It’s too fucking cold

      And yet they look at me as if I’m the weird one for stating no ice. And apparently I’m being difficult when they still give me a drink with bloody ice

        All valid points, but if I may, for me it’s more like

        1. I don’t want more drink
        2. I like it diluted - lasts longer
        3. Cold = sensory heaven
        4. It’s never ever cold enough
        5. Crunchy water snack when you’re done!

        corporations use ice to give less of the drink, and shoved it up everyone’s ass with ads everywhere, and now people just accept it without questioning cough cough frog in a boiling pot cough cough
