Safety Cup

Have you ever:

  • "Forgotten" to take your winter coat off during a very important meeting because you didn't want anyone to see that you had dumped coffee on yourself?
  • Ruined a suit by dumping coffee on yourself?
  • Become an office joke because of the frequency with which you dump coffee on yourself?
  • Almost flunked out of law school because you almost couldn't turn in a paper on time because you dumped coffee on your keyboard and you had to get your brother the engineering student out of bed at 3:00 am to bring over a friend's substitute keyboard to plug into your PC so you could retrieve your paper and turn it in on time?
  • Invented a verb (to coffee oneself: to dump coffee on oneself, e.g., "I coffeed myself again") to make your life easier since you were always having to explain about the dumping of coffee on yourself?

Then perhaps you need to start drinking your coffee out of a spill-proof travel mug.
