But no, sucking anything through a straw as an adult male seems childish, if not a bit feminine to me. I don't even use a straw with a milkshake, I use a spoon.

Not very secure with your masculinity are you?

Is there some benefit to doing this?  Is it worth the hassle?  I generally see a spot and pull in.  Takes 5 seconds.

The next time you are waiting for someone to back out of a parking space so you can pull in just think how much quicker it would be if that person was pulling out instead of backing out.

Wtf really?  

Nothing is more annoying then when someone asks for your help and then doesn't respect your time you're giving them. Tell me what you want me to do so I can get started.
