Question for the Americans - why do so many of you walk around with a giant coffee in your hand all day? It looks rather odd.
I was in the lobby of a biotech company last week, waiting for my host to collect me. While I was waiting, a party of 3 guys arrived and each of them had a damn Starbucks in one hand and a briefcase in the other. When they had to sign in, they were fumbling around trying to find places to put their coffees. A couple of minutes later, their host arrived in the lobby and I swear to God he had a fvcking coffee in one hand as well. The switching of coffee from one hand to another and the putting down of briefcases to permit a handshake was about the funniest pantomime I think I've seen.
So, my question is - WTF?
