Moaning Coffee
At café Gio, Yumbo Centre I asked the waiter, the one with the mincing gait for 'Dos cafe con leche, por favor'. When the coffee arrived 5 minutes later, it was served in an asymmetric cup, the handle didn't have a hole in it to put your fingers through, the waiter got no 'gracias' from me I can tell you. I just sat there glaring at it, wanting to smash it to bits and grind the broken pieces into the waiter's hand. It was nice coffee though.
It's a dribble cup the waiters use to have a bit of fun with the tourists!
ReplyDeleteYes it does look like something you would give to an invalid. I was seduced in there by the leopard print chairs.
Delete"Dierdre Chambers! What a coincidence!" I saw one of those cups for the first time today - someone at work had one on their desk. Although, the handle was twisted somewhat, and on the wonk.
ReplyDeleteThey're being chi-chi I hope you didn't draw attention to it because that's what they want. Another bete noire of mine is cutlery with rounded handles.
DeletePoncy toffs!
ReplyDeleteno, just poncy.
Deleteasymmetry is always a bad sign. Of something. Look at Flock of Seagulls hairdos.
ReplyDeletenice to have you back.
It's enough to tip a person over the edge.
DeleteAt least it came with a big saucer.

It came with a cake too, the sort you see at the buffet breakfast in hotels wrapped in cellophane I gave mine away to my maid of all work, I saw her eyeing it.
DeleteWhat the feck is that when it's at home? Looks like a sippy cup. There must be a hole to stick yer finger through or else it's off to the crockery shy.x
ReplyDeleteIt's like those people who order café cortado (look at me aren't I chic?) they arrive in a shot glasses, if your going to have a coffee have a proper coffee and don't piss around with dolly cups. They should bring back hanging.
