Mine is back when Coffee shops were just beginning to boom. During this time, only a few hang out in coffee shops. Bo's was relatively new by then. Personally, Im not inclined to hanging out in coffee shops, I also dont like coffee that much.
It was the day that our Manila counterparts visited our province to align some processes in our accounting and sales procedures. I was tasked to assist them and at the same time tour guide them. One time, they asked me to bring them to a coffee shop, so I brought them to the one and only Bo's coffee shop in our city. Bo's coffee shop by then looked like a place for elite individuals (thats how I regarded the place). I wasnt very sure of what I will order since I only knew we were in a coffee shop and that we were supposed to order coffee. They ordered the iced products while I ordered the hot product. At least at this point, my pretending to be acquainted to the lifestyle was still working..after ordering, and our names were called to get our orders, they headed to the condiments station and all got those bigger straws. At this point, I was just observing people and precedents then just do the same. Since they got the the bigger straws, since I didnt know what to get for mine..I decided to just do the same, I got for me one of the bigger straws then we all headed to our table. We started discussing some details of their visit when I saw that they were all sipping from the straws and so..guess what? I also placed the bigger straw to my tall coffeee cup and sipped on it. Olala!!! it was so damn smokin hot!!! I realized I was ordering the boiling hot coffee cup while they got for them Coffee Shakes!!!
Now you can start imagining how I was able to manage to still end the meeting alive and still breathing!
Indeed my most embarrassing moment ever!!!
