Was leaving the Costco today. A balancing act between receipts (you have to get them checked at the door afterall), wallet, basket o' stuff, keys and sample cup of piping hot coffee. I typically carry things around in my mouth, but today I chose the wrong thing . . . the coffee cup. As I started get things sorted out, I pulled the glasses, poised atop my head, from my hair, struggled, and tipped the cup up somehow, bathing my face in the steamy coffee. It was everywhere. I had sticky creamer stuff and sugar in my hair that I was sucking out (gross I know) for hours afterwards.
Luckily, I did shake-shake-shake onto an onlooker or two before I regained my composure.
