Jason1969 Oct 2024 5:40pm, 8 Oct 2024 13,038 posts	Quote Pin Jason1969 I sat down for my haircut and in the mirror I saw a hoody, hanging up. "I've got one like that" I thought. Of course I have, I hung it up there about 15 seconds ago. I thought it again about 10 minutes later.

Diogenes Oct 2024 11:11am, 9 Oct 2024 88,667 posts	Quote Pin Diogenes We have a fancy bean-to-cup coffe machine now, I usually forget at least on step, most often the cup.
ThorntonRunner Oct 2024 12:01pm, 9 Oct 2024 7,768 posts	Quote Pin ThorntonRunner I understand that the drip tray on a Nespresso machine is designed to take a full cup worth of liquid. I've found this useful on a number of occasions when I've forgotten to put a cup under the outlet
Velociraptor Oct 2024 12:54pm, 9 Oct 2024 71,318 posts	Quote Pin Velociraptor I have also managed, on separate occasions, to try to make coffee in the one-cup drip filter without water, without coffee, and without a cup. I probably shouldn't bother getting a machine that has any more steps involved in preparation.
McGoohan Oct 2024 1:01pm, 9 Oct 2024 54,591 posts	Quote Pin McGoohan Oh, the other thing I did when at a Premier Inn recently - where you have those rubbish sachets of tea and coffee and the little plastic things of milk... I made the coffee, threw the used coffee sachet in the bin, peeled the top off the milk ... and then poured the milk straight into the bin too
Diogenes Oct 2024 1:16pm, 9 Oct 2024 88,669 posts	Quote Pin Diogenes I've done that as well. I recently taken to cracking eggs and dropping the contents straight in the bin rather than in a bowl and the shell in the bin.

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.
