Spilt Coffee

It was morning, I was headed to my day job when I realized that my morning coffee tasted sweet, and it was running low. I did what most people in my position would do, I found the nearest fast food place with good coffee and joined the parade, generally called the drive-through.

It was all going like clockwork until I grabbed the hot, sweet and light coffee by the lid to pass it from the window to my trusty cup holder. This necessitates crossing my body, you understand. It was in the perfect position to douse me with molten hot coffee when the lid popped off, the sides squished together, and a geiser of coffee spewed forth. It drenched my coat, my console, and pooled in my cup holder.

Lucky me, I had one of those incredible micro fiber cloths in the car to wipe down windows. Great at cleaning up spills, soaking up misplaced fluids, and blotting off the coat, I used it efficiently to limit the mess.

In the end, I was amazed. My clothes under the coat were dry, unstained. My car came clean with the added scent of rich coffee added to my air freshener. My coat will be pristine after a brief stay at the cleaners. But best of all, I had enough coffee to fill up my mug before work. 😂

Cheers everyone, may your coffee cup be full, taste yummy, oh and stay in the cup.
