A coffee shop has opened in Cardiff for people who hate mornings.
Grumpy Fuckers’ Coffee Shop opened its door yesterday and was overwhelmed by demand.
Manager Clive GrimGrits told WalesOnCraic:
“I had to get up at 5am to get the bastard shop open. I hated it. Most people are still sleeping at that time. We opened the shop at 6am and by 7am, we’d already sold out of ‘Fuck You Frappuccinos’ as well as our ‘Piss Poor Tea’. Every fucker who came in had a face on them like a slapped arse so I closed the shop at 8am so I could go home and get some proper sleep like most people do.”
One customer said that she would visit the coffee shop again, despite everyone bumping into each other and not saying a word.
“It was perfect for me. I could just sit there, thinking how shit my life is and how I hated going to work. They guy next to me was asking whether they did any cooked breakfasts but the manager told him to fuck off and get a life. Everyone was grumpy, which was fine because we were all grumpy together.”

Well, America will need to be reborn, or I’ll die surrounded by brass. I prefer the first of those options. 🙂

Why do I get the feeling this is a joke? Isn’t this one of the 7 words that can’t be used? Where is it located?
Because it is a joke.

Where TBPers won’t be going for a purrfect coffee.
Cat cafes, where patrons pay to hang out with cats, have become huge in Japan and spread around the world since the first one opened in Taiwan in 1998. Adorable felines, after all, may be the one thing that Starbucks can’t match.
For some business owners, the cafes also offer a way to provide a better life for cats.
Case in point is Cat Cafe Nekokaigi owner Mayuko Horii, who opened Kyoto’s first cat cafe in 2008 with 13 stray kittens. The ancient Japanese city happens to be full of stray cats.
“We adopted the stray cats from a volunteer when they were about two months old. Some cat cafe shops have rare or pedigree cats. But we value Kyoto’s abandoned cats,” Horii wrote via email.
Visitors pay about 800 yen ($8) an hour to play with any of the 13 cats, who chase stuffed toys and nap around the room. Patrons must then pay an additional $4 per half hour and while drinks are not compulsory to buy, they are priced around 300 yen each. Business seems to be going well, as the website warns that the cafe gets crowded on weekends and the Internet is full of Nekokaigi mentions.
Horii enforces a few rules to ensure a good life for the cats, for instance banning children under the age of 13 and telling patrons never to touch sleeping cats. She also won’t let patrons adopt the cats.
“We refuse it because our other customers who love the cats will be sad to see them go. Those customers may not come back if the cat is gone,” Horii wrote via email.
