it happens in threes…why?

I am just curious is all.

I had three coffee-related work incidents this morning.  First, I was taking the old filter with yesterday’s grounds in it out of the coffee maker.  I take the whole thingie the filter is in to the trashcan to dump it.  Well, today, somehow, I managed to fling the filter with the icky grounds out of the thingie it’s in and the grounds went all over the floor, wall, door, and side of the trashcan.  Neato.  What a mess.

After I get that all cleaned up, I washed my hands, and got a new filter and put it into the thingie.  I got the new coffee can, well, it’s not really a can now, it’s a plastic jar thing, and took off the lid.  There’s that little foil seal thing on there, you know, with the tab that you pull up on and peel off?  Well, somehow, while pulling up and peeling I squeezed the plastic jar and shot coffee out of that little opening I had started with the pulling and the peeling motion and it went EVERYWHERE!  FOR THE LOVE OF PETE!  It was  up my lefthand sleeve, all over the counter, all over the floor, all over some literature that is on the counter top in the kitchen.  After some choice words, I finished making my coffee and cleaned up the mess. 

I just knew it wasn’t going to end there, I knew there would be a third coffee-related incident.  I was right.  As soon as the coffee was done brewing, I went to get a cup.  I put in my sweetener and creamer and pour the coffee into my cup.  I grab a stirrer and start stirring it around and end up tilting my cup a little and spilling coffee all over my thumb, it was flipping  hot!  Ugh. 

What’s the dealio?
