I've heard about this problem before but never thought it would happen to me: The seam in the coffee cup got me.
You know that little bit of overlap in the construction of paper cups? They try to make it as small as possible on the little rolled-up portion of the lid but there is just enough of a ridge there that coffee can seep out.
And onto your shirt.
Now granted, I was at a linux users group meeting so I probably didn't lose many points for my "urpie" coffee drips. For awhile I was completely baffled about where they came from as I was under the impression I had learned how to drink things without getting them all over myself. Then I noticed that the seam and the sipping hole were in unfortunate alignment.

This is God's way of telling you to take the lid off and drink your coffee the way He intended, instead of using "sipping holes", which are the work of the devil.

That was well deserved.

Unless of course the Mormons are right, and the Godly thing to do with coffee is to fling the cup across the room shouting "GET THEE AWAY FROM ME, FOUL BREW OF THE DECEIVER!"
That'd suck.
