Dvorak Apr 2021 11:16am, 24 Apr 2021 22,309 posts	0 Dvorak I was making filter coffee in the machine yesterday. I could almost see myself looking puzzled as the grounds floated upwards. Quickly swung coffee holder into place, and shortly after poured the now slightly brown water from the coffee jug into the reservoir.

OldRunnerGuy Apr 2021 7:47pm, 25 Apr 2021 7 posts	0 OldRunnerGuy We got one of those single serving serving coffee machines recently. I made a delicious cup of hot water this morning after forgetting to put the little pod thingy in (sadly not for the first time)
Badger Apr 2021 7:48pm, 25 Apr 2021 13,788 posts	0 Badger If you don’t put a cup under the spout, the drip tray is designed to be big enough to catch your mistake. No idea how I know that

This morning I went to charge my kindle and instead found myself trying to charge my coffee mug. It was my third coffee of the day as well, clearly not strong enough!

=============

I was just drying my hair after a shower, I switched the hairdryer on and suddenly the bedroom was plunged into darkness, the hairdryer wasn't working either. Great, the electrics have just tripped out.

I find a torch, go to the fuse box but nothing has tripped - turns out I pressed the light switch instead of the hairdryer 'on' button.
