CHICAGO—Calmly brushing off the accident that would have normally left him incensed, local man Alex Perkins, 36, told reporters Tuesday that, all things considered, the fresh coffee stain on his shirt is not as big a deal this morning. “It’s a new shirt, but you know what, I’ll be fine,” said Perkins in an abnormally accepting tone, before adding that, in the grand scheme of things, the sizable brown stain on his dress shirt was just a minor annoyance not worth getting upset over at the moment. “The dry cleaners can probably get it out. If not, who cares.” After gazing quickly down at the latest breaking news alert on his phone, Perkins added that he’s not even angry with the coffee shop worker who failed to put the cup’s lid on all the way.
