well, i've been caught cheating. i mean i think the relationship can be salvaged, but he saw me yesterday stepping out on him...
see, yesterday i bought my coffee at the deli on the other corner.
today i went to my regular coffee guy in the tin cart on the corner closest to work and he was pouring my coffee and said accusingly:
"where were you yesterday. i saw you, but you did not buy the coffee here."
eh... i think he and i will be on a talk show soon...
"hot coffee on the side and the coffee guy's whose heart you're breakin'"
***UPDATE***
in response to some comments, i take my coffee seriously, too. in fact my normal coffee guy's cups had been leaking... and now that i stayed away for a day and he saw me with another coffee guy's cup, well, he actually had new non-leaky cups...
see, it's like i was playing "The Rules: Time-Tested Secrets for Capturing the Heart of Your Coffee Guy"
that's why he's paying more attention and has changed his cups...
Now if it were the other way around and i had to tell my coffee dude that i only want milk in my java (i don't have to tell him because he has my coffee made for me by the time i get to the cart's window, just saying hypothetically)...
if i had to tell him everyday, and if he didn't notice that i wasn't there or anything, well then i think i'd have to start reading "When Your Coffee Guy's Just Not That Into You"
