My disastrous tea round
As we're not allowed to get shitfaced (drunk) at work, we can't do "rounds" of beer. However, tea and coffee is permitted. We take it in turn to make rounds - there are between 5 and 10 people here at a time, so we can usually get away with making only one round in a day.
I just did the most disastrous tea round ever. Three of the 9 mugs were to be coffee, which meant putting on a fresh jug. So I did. But I forgot to put the coffee in the perculator. It started coming out clear, so I performed a ninja-fast dynamic coffee-switch to get the ground beans into the filter paper. That worked pretty well, but I scalded myself in the process and got freshly boiled all over the counter.
I also put milk in Nick's peppermint tea. I forgot everyone's sugar/sweetner requirements. I dropped used teabags on the floor, and scalded myself again picking them up. I spilled milk all over the place. I got freshly boiled water on my shirt, and subsequently, my belly.
Hopefully I'll never be asked to make the tea again.

Muahuahauhauha. This ranks alongside breaking all the plates when asked to do the dishes, or farting incessantly during Jury Service.
bahahahahaa! farting during jury service! That's fucking wonderful!
or being asked to pet sit and getting the Koala pregnant. Again.
Was there anyone about making comedy sound effects as you burnt yourself to a cinder?
If not go rub your now pustulant and flaking skin into their sandwiches.
