A little while back we bought one of those Tassimo coffee machines (a great machine, by the way).
Yesterday I was in a store and saw a box of Espresso containers (discs) on sale. So I bought them.
Now...as much coffee as I suck down, you'd think I'd know better than to do this. But I'm a creature of habit - I know how to order a Caramel Macchiato grande at Starbucks and I know how to put a regular Tassimo disc into the unit....the minute I break script, I'm in deep trouble if I don't have direct supervision.
I put an espresso disc in the Tassimo....well, it only filled my coffee cup maybe a third. I figured the disc was a dud...so I put in a second...and then a third...and it wasn't until the third that I had a full cup.
About 10 minutes later my wife noticed that the little stand we have for the little coffee discs had 3 less expresso discs. She said, "I thought you bought this just yesterday?"
I replied, "yeah, I did."
"But you used 3 espressos already?"
"Yeah....each one only filled a third of my cup....so I had to use three to fill it up"
"YOU DID WHAT!!!!!!!???????"
Well, it took her about 10 minutes to explain why I'd be having a pounding heartbeat by 6 PM today. God, she was right. It's midnight and I feel like I could run a marathon.
So men...a word to the wise out there...let your spouses control every aspect of your life....because we men are idiots.
