Note: originally I wanted to write a tl;dr version and the full version. At the end I realized that the full version won't be that much longer than the tl;dr version. So below I present only the tl;dr version.



I wanted to make instant coffee in my office (at school).

I brought everything (kettle, instant coffee, coffee mate aka powdered milk, mug, etc.) to my office only to forget to bring a spoon.

Now I can't move instant coffee into my mug. I cannot stir the coffee either.

FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUIt was extremely frustrating.

Has this happened to you before (making an elaborate plan to do something only to forget one tiny, yet important detail)? Please share

:]

Use your fingers after the coffee cools a little?

Probably when you go to a friends house for a lan, get everything setup and realise you forgot a cable.

# 2 pencil can do many thing. I recommend you make one out of kryptonite so you can defeat superman, the original green lantern, and the new green lantern at the same time using it.

I can't think of any elaborate plans where I've forgotten things recently. Maybe I'll forget a textbook when going to the library to study every once in a while, but it never bothers me.

OK problem solved.

I went to the food court on campus and begged the Chinese Food guy for a plastic spoon.

I was going to suggest pouring instant coffee into your mug, then covering the mug and shaking.

But getting a spoon also works.
My strategy is to fork people.

You know I think you should just man up and drink the coffee. Layers style.

Well it's not a travel mug. There is no lid.
