A man carrying a coffee cup through the doors of a downtown theatre is stopped by an usher.
Usher: Oh, excuse me—sorry, you’re only allowed to bring water into the theatre.
(The man begrudgingly accepts, then walks past a garbage can and starts squishing the cup through the narrow slit opening of a recycling bin marked “paper/newspaper,” spilling coffee onto his hand and around the opening of the bin.)
Man, to no-one in particular: This is such a stupid design. I have to shove it in to make it fit!
