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!)

wouldn't it have been easier to explain you made a mistake, it wouldn't have seemed ungrateful.

You've gotta take experiences like this.. With a grain of salt. Haha

How did you accidentally put salt in coffee? Was there another drink on your desk that you meant to put the salt in? Did you mean to grab something besides salt (which is in a shaker, not a pouch)? But still, that does suck. >.<

how do you know what the sugar and salt are in? for all we know, they could have both been in packets & the OP accidentally grabbed the wrong one without checking.

Respect>salty coffee. Pat yourself on the back, OP.

It would've been better if it ended with "afterwards, she said that she saw me make that mistake, and said I didn't have to drink it."

Hmm....salt is in a shaker, sugar is in a pourer. Not buying it.

They make packets for both and they look exactly the same.

True they both come on packets, but sugar packets are usually larger than salt. Not saying op deserves it, however I would have just admitted to the mistake. I don't think her boss would have been angry with her for not wanting to drink salted coffee.

Couldn't you have pretended to sip it for a little before walking away to go back to your job?
