The coffee cup flaw

So I am relaxing on my day off after doing my yard work, flipping channels as usual when i have a realization, I hate coffee cups on television. There are two cups that I hate, the quarter filled mug and the empty take out.

How often do people ask for a refill of coffee on television and all that gets poured is a quarter of a cup. Is there a coffee shortage in make-believe land? Is it rude to pour a full cup? Are actors just too damn clumsy to handle a full cup. Is there something I don't know about coffee, like the flavor multiples 1/4 cup at a time or the Stockholm convention on coffee mandates the 1/4 cup tv portion.

More aggravating to me though is the empty coffee take out cup. It is so obvious when you see this, the cup has no heft to it. Sure coffee isn't the heaviest item, but it does have some weight to it. Actors are tossing them around, tilting them over, basically smacking me in the face with the fact there is no java in that hot beverage transportation device.

Just something I was thinking of.
