Drippy Cups!

Boy, what a mess! I went to DDs this morning to get my normal caffeine intake to start the day. For the most part the coffee was good and fresh which is typically the case in the morning...at night it's a completely different story and the taste is different (see my other blog on this). Over the last few weeks I've been occasionally getting a large coffee - yes, when I'm a little more tired than usual. For some reason, the damn lids don't fit right on the larger cups. They're fine on the medium size cups but the large ones seem to leak. I bought my coffee this morning, drank some of it in the car on my way to work while eating my low-carb bagel (hmmm, yes, I'm carb conscious!). When I got to work I logged into check my email...while I was reading, I reached for my coffee (the large one with the leaking lid) and took a sip of it. I said to myself this coffee tastes good this morning. I then continued to read my email. I looked down at my desk and saw that I had a few drops of coffee on my desk. I then looked at my cup and saw that there were some droplets on the side of it. I realized the damn lid was leaking. When you see coffee leaking from your lid, the first impression you have is that it's leaked all over you. Sure enough, I looked down at my shirt in quasi-slow motion and bingo, it leaked on my shirt. Needless to say I wasn't a happy coffee drinker! So, why are the larger coffee lids more prone to leak? I haven't the foggiest idea but I hope that DD addresses the issue with their lid supplier. I'm tired of leaky lids - I've had the same experience with Starbucks. Have you had this experience?
