Not sure what about the incident was funny. Scary actually. Well, maybe it was my wry (and maybe inappropriate) comment about caffeine withdraw.

I'm not sure what exactly happened. I heard it third hand from a friend of a friend who for whatever reason finds it fun to listen in on the police band early in the morning. I'm interested in crime - so I've got friends who are just like that and tend to spread the word when something interesting happens. Anyway, I drove by after I heard and saw what could reasonably be a chair shaped hole in the front window of the store that wasn't there when I bought a latte yesterday.

I guess the details could be embellished or just plain wrong, but I have to say that I believe it. I recently read a Washington Post article about a disgruntled coffee shop patron in DC who was refused service when he asked for a triple shot of espresso served over ice. Apparently the ice sours the espresso, so it was a quality control issue. The patron went and blogged about the incident where he threatened to burn down the place with matches and kerosene. The owner then retaliated by threatening the blogger in the comment section of the blog with physical violence. Crazy!
