"The Great Coffee Catastrophe”

It was Monday morning, and Dave was determined to start his week right. He put on his best shirt (the one without the mysterious spaghetti stain), brewed a strong cup of coffee, and headed to his Zoom meeting.

Confident, caffeinated, and only slightly disheveled, Dave clicked “Join Meeting.”

"Good morning, everyone!" he said with a big smile—just as he took a sip of his coffee.

Only, it wasn't coffee.

It was yesterday’s cold beef gravy.

Apparently, Dave had poured the wrong “brown liquid” into his travel mug. In his defense, both were in similar Tupperware containers in the fridge. But the smell didn’t hit him until it was too late.

He gagged mid-sentence, sprayed gravy all over his keyboard, and in the process, knocked over a shelf behind him containing a collection of porcelain cats his grandma had given him. The cats fell like dominoes.

And because life loves drama, his microphone was on and his camera was live. The entire office watched in horror and then laughter as Dave fought a battle between beef gravy, broken cats, and his dignity.

From that day on, his team didn’t call it a “Zoom meeting” anymore.

They called it “The Gravy Incident"
