    My cup has a handle. The sippy hole is always in the same place when I pick it up, no matter how much it spins around.

    Sippy holes, sippy cups. What are we talking about, a bunch of two year olds?

    Sometimes I don’t what which is worse. Toddlers, or some of today’s so-called truck drivers.

    I learned my first year of driving to always keep a paper towel in the bottom of the cup holder. Keeps things from rattling, spinning or dripping. I also learned to keep a lid on everything in there. I was using a styrofoam cup half full of old soda as an ash tray. Anybody who's done this knows how cruddy the stuff inside gets after a while. It didn't have a lid on it and I dove through some bumpy road construction and the stuff inside splattered all the way up to my mouth while driving. It stunk so bad I thought I would puke.

    What really grinds my gears is when my driver doesnt get my speeds matched up right

    On Thursday I was jumping out of my truck to go get a refill of coffee and water and didnt know the coffee was still half full.

    I spilled it all down my leg and looked like I peed myself. It was like 100 out so at least it dried quick.
