Only a few days ago I was commenting to someone about instant coffee which shall now henceforth be referred to as instant disappointment.
Just so you know, I was not commenting favourably and neither was the young lady I was speaking with - That's because there's nothing favourable about instant coffee. Anyway, I thought I'd throw it open to the Cinnamon Cup Coffee Community to comment on their instant disappointment experiences and figured a little prize would be nice, something for the funniest or most interesting comments in response to this post. But first I have to explain something.
See that cup in the image? It's mine. I know, when I'm drinking it that little, rather clear and concise message points outwardly to those standing in front of me. Trust me, I've used it to good-effect pointing it at many worthy recipients. Many dum dum's, so many dum dum's.
Dum dum is code for...
I occasionally say a very bad word. I don't like to swear much so I'll not repeat it...Ah fuck it, I might as well...Hmm, nah, I'd better fucken not. The word I refer to starts with C and ends with unt and I usually reserve it for those very special people who deserve such a terrible curse word - Trust me, there's been a few.
Anyway, I was asked by someone close to me to come up with another word instead of using the C-word and the first thing I came up with was dum dum, more as a joke to be honest. It stuck.
I had a cup made so I could take it into the boardroom for meetings with people and well...You know, passively insult them...If they were dum dum's that is. I used it to good effect around the office where I used to work and have introduced it at my new company. Genius right?
But there's a flipside...
I'm an honest chap and when I see someone that deserves a compliment I'm quick to give it...I needed to temper my dum dum message with something suitable for the awesome people I came across in my day and so, rare that they are, and so...Meet the other side of the same cup.
Let it never be said that the old G-dog doesn't come prepared for all eventualities. Note, evil Moccona instant disappointment lurks in the background waiting to pounce into my cup and disappoint my tastebuds.
Anyway, back to the coffee.
I have to drink instant disappointment (remember what that stands for?) at work as there are no other options. Sure, I can go and buy one at the café but I'm often busy and so...Instant disappointment it is. Let me assure you it is instantly disappointing and therefore very aptly named.
So here's what you need to do, if you'd like to play along.
Tell me an instant disappointment moment (that's, an instant coffee moment) that has afflicted your life. It can be anything as long as it is a little story about that instantly disappointing brown granulated shite that comes out of a jar and gets mixed with boiling water.
The funnier or more interesting the story the better folks...Or you can totally ignore my post and pour yourself a cup of instant disappointment. Some may actually prefer that I guess. If you don't have a story just make one up and I'll never know the difference.
