Today, I was getting off of work, talking to my boss, and I asked if I could get a ride home, since my usual ride was too lazy to come get me. He said, sure, but to be really careful since he'd just had his car detailed. I was getting in the car, tripped, and threw my hot cocoa all inside of his car. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I took the bus to work. I was exhausted and had a big mug of coffee. Half asleep and thinking I was in my car, I reached forward to put it in the "cup holder" during the ride. When I let go, I poured hot coffee not only all over myself, but also on the large, angry-looking man next to me. FML
Today, I walked into work looking like I had peed myself, all because my husband thought it would be "hilarious" to slam on the brakes while I was drinking hot coffee. FML
Today, during a snowstorm, I opened my car door to get out. The wind snapped it wide open, then immediately changed course and swung it back at me just as I stepped out, spilling an entire hot cup of coffee all over me. FML
Today, I was running late for work and I was carrying my stuff to my car, handbag over my shoulder, laptop in one hand, and my coffee in the other. As I tried to unlock my car, I spilt the coffee all over myself, the car, and my laptop. Now, I’m sticky, wet, and my laptop won't turn on. FML
Today, I was feeling sick but went into my waitressing job because I'd already missed 3 days this week. I was dizzy and managed to spill a tray of drinks all over the customers. Then, when their food was done, I tripped and spilled hot chili all over the man's lap. FML
Today, I discovered I'd left my coffee on top of my car when it fell through the sun roof whilst I was driving, showering me. FML
Today, I drove into the parking lot at work, and discovered too late that there were patches of ice everywhere. As I turned to enter my usual spot, I lost control of the vehicle, and despite my pleas, praying, and profanity, it glided straight into my boss's car. FML
Today, while heading outside to go to work, I slip on my driveway and my coffee thermos-mug ends up flying out of my hand, and smashes my next door neighbor's brand new truck window. The thermos-mug broke and splashed hot coffee all over his seats too. He's a hard-ass military dude. FML
Today, I was running late for work so I grabbed my coffee to go. I was rushing down the stairs when I stumbled a bit and spilled the entire cup of coffee all over myself. I had to go back up, change clothes, and was still late. The kicker? It was decaf. FML
Today, I was walking with a friend after buying two cups of steaming hot coffee. While crossing the busiest street in town I tripped and fell, spilling the coffee all over me. My friend didn't notice I fell right in front of her and tripped over me spilling her coffee on me as well. FML

Why the hell would you take hot cocoa into a car after you were specifically asked to watch out not to spill anything. So many things could happen that would make you spill it. YDI.

It probably wasn't wise to bring hot cocoa into a car...

Today, an employee asked if I'd give him a ride home; I said sure, but asked him to please be careful since I just had my car detailed. He tripped and spilled hot cocoa all over it. FML

What does getting your car detailed mean? And @ the people who were wondering why they were drinking hot cocoa, i drink it all the time in summer! Way less caffeine than coffee/tea

#20, I know this is going to sound crazy, but people can have beverages around such things as tables, pottery, even vehicles! WHAT A CRAZY WORLD WE LIVE IN, RIGHT?!

Wow, who the hell takes a beverage in someone else's car? That's ******* rude.

Yeah, your boss bringing up the fact that his car was just detailed was a subtle hint to ditch the drink. Expect him to be a lot more blunt with you from now on.

Doesn't look like your boss will be giving you any more car rides ever again...

To those making comments about drinking Hot cocoa in May, you do realize it is summer in only PART of the world, right!? While it is hot in the US it is cold in Australia. Besides, lots of people drink coffee everyday, which is HOT! So some people might also drink HOT TEA OR HOT COCOA when it's hot too!

You say your usual ride was too "lazy" to come get you. Maybe you're just too "lazy" to learn to drive and expecting everyone else to drop everything for you.
