Today I had a stop in town and I was right next to a fairly new coffee/ice cream shop. I’ve been there once or twice and decided to treat my self to a cup of coffee. It was a fairly trying day, so I thought a cup of coffee would be welcome.
I had a sip or two of my triple espresso and left to drive on home. Just as I was getting into my car, a gust of wind threatened to blow my hat halfway down main street. Instinctively, I reached for my hat, but I had in that hand a cup of coffee. The coffee flew all over, most over me. Being espresso it had a very strong aroma. I was able to smell that the entire ride home. Even after changing clothes, I was able to smell it. Seems it got in my hair too.
Well, so much for a relaxing cup of coffee. I ended up wearing most of it. I guess I didn’t need the caffeine.
No, there were no burns, and I’m not going to be suing any coffee shops. My own stupidity was responsible for the coffee on me. Reach for a hat with the hand coffee is in. None too smart that.
Of course, if you can’t laugh at your own stupid antics whose can you laugh at. Really a decent day after I got my jacket cleaned.
So… if I’m laughing it would be construed as laughing WITH you. Would this be your beloved Dr. Jones regalia? If so, I could see how your actions went quicker than sense.
Yes, it was the Dr. Jones regalia. My hand moved much faster than my mind at that point.
It sounds like you made quite a splash. 😮
At least you were able to get everything cleaned- no stains this time.
