Today, my boss finally did something nice for me and bought me a coffee. By mistake I poured salt in it. To not be ungrateful, I drank it all in front of her. FML

Hey guys, OP here. I'm quite surprised this was published, it happened on Saturday. It's a cleaning job that I am doing, my boss has been nagging me a lot, making me redo things (she is really a perfectionist!!) usually she isn't there when I clean, but she came Saturday to do some things in her clinic and she asked if I wanted a coffee, which I ofcourse said yes to. When she came with the coffee I tasted it quickly and it was quite bitter... So when she went to do something else quick, I kinda ran to the kitchen and got the sugar... At least it was in sugar thingy..., then I poured it in my coffee! And since I'm kinda a shy person I really couldn't tell her. Just had to pokerface through it... (Yes my stomach did hurt alittle after it!)

If it has a lid on it just pretend to drink it should this situation happen again.

That's why I don't put sugar in my coffee. Regular black is how it should be drinked

My mother always says, "If you have to add stuff to your coffee to make it taste good, then that means you don't like coffee." To which I usually reply, "If you like spaghetti so much, why do you put sauce on it? You must not like pasta if you have to alter the flavour." Black coffee is like plain pasta. Everyone adds their extras.

Enjoy regular black coffee for life. heck drink whatever the shit you want to but don't tell others how it should be and how it shouldn't be!

You could've just accepted your mistake and had a laugh about it with her. Mistakes makes us humans. YDI.

My dad used to brew coffee with a pinch of salt. It counteracts the bitterness and usually makes it taste better. But you def had to use sugar, so just plain salty coffee must suck. Sorry OP
