Some silly woman (who should really just stop going to Starbucks),
became enraged the other day when a Starbucks server refused to sell her a bagel after she wouldn't specify if she wanted butter, cheese or neither, leading management
to eventually call police. Lynne Rosenthal, an English professor who's also a self-professed "stickler" for correct English, tried to frame her tantrum as a defense of the English language rather than a hysterical overreaction.
Later that day, Rosenthal met Jerry and Kramer at the diner where the three proceeded to argue about how high the last button on a shirt should be.
