Cup casualty at Caribou

Earlier today, I grabbed a mug from the dish drainer at work and was the next thing I knew, there was the sound of breaking ceramic and I was left holding nothing except the handle. The thing just separated at the places the handle was attached and crashed onto the tile floor in the back room.

I checked the rest of our mugs right away. It would be a very bad scene if that happened to someone holding a steaming hot cup of coffee. Coffee shop peeps, wherever you are, be sure to examine your coffee mugs regularly!

Oh, and then when I showed my boss the handle, I cut my thumb on the darned thing. This is me with the killer mug handle and my bright blue, finger-cot-covered thumb.

  1. I hope people listen. That could be a major lawsuit.

  2. Sort of like the car window that shattered on us spontaneously while driving yesterday morning.

    Gotta thank your lucky stars things ended so well.

  3. I’m a little late, but what a bummer. It’s a thumbdom.

  4. Exactly, a thumbdom.

    Joan, I’m glad y’all weren’t hurt by the glass.

    Tami, I’ve got everyone I can looking at the handles.
