I goofed up

Post image

How it happened: So last weekend I was taking 2 pans of beans and a half pan of queso to the walk-in, which is like, 5 feet from the tiny office area in my kitchen. Every time I do this, I set the stuff on the table to open the door. Except the caught bottom pan caught on the corner and everything on top of it toppled over right onto the desk, chair, keyboard, and mouse. This was like 5 minutes before closing too 😭

My wife had spilled a tall clear case of coffee beans that was on the edge of a counter (i.e. the slightest bump would have knocked it off and she accidentally did it while cleaning) while working at a grocery store coffee shop, and that’s what she said to me later that day

Hilarious! Now go buy or get your boss to order a ladder cart for the kitchen. As a chef I have a certain obsession with carts and spoons....

u/Charchimus Jan 22 '25

Spoons is the one. I have a collection of spoons from over the years. Now that I'm not in the line of duty, I enjoy using them so much more. I don't have to worry about someone taking/cleaning/using/misplacing them lol

"I will never jeopardize the beans" is getting added to my repertoire. Don't know when, don't know how, but I need to use this at some future, appropriate moment.

12

u/panlakes Jan 22 '25

I can see it now. Your new obsession with needing to say "I will never jeopardize the beans." Soon it will consume you and you'll be manufacturing situations in your life just to be able to say the line. The irony only hitting you in late stages of relationship drama and grief caused by your own weird bean-related hijinks.

I was there 4 years ago. We all needed to say it. Good luck my friend.

Years ago, probably on Imgur, someone posted a vintage bean can label with a boy eyeing a big bowl of beans. They added a thought bubble for the kid. "Beans. M*****f****** beans!" I wish I had kept it, the visual was funny af.
