Showerthought: My coffee cart makeover ended with a ceiling fan coated in grounds

I was balancing a bag of beans on a ladder to reach the top shelf and the whole thing tipped over, creating a dusty cloud that settled everywhere.

Ugh, that exact same thing happened to me but with a blender. I tried to pour fresh beans into it without the lid on because I was in a rush. Hit the pulse button by mistake and sent a full cloud of fine powder straight up into the kitchen light fixture. For weeks, every time I flipped the switch, a little brown snow would drift down. It's a special kind of mess that just keeps giving.

Man, I always thought keeping things tidy was overrated. Seeing coffee grounds on a ceiling fan might have just convinced me.

Honestly, my buddy once forgot coffee grounds on his fan and it rained down on his guests. He never skipped cleaning again after that.

Wait, you hit the pulse button without the lid on? That's next level. I can't even picture the speed of that cloud. A blender is basically a tiny tornado, so of course it went straight up. Having it snow coffee every time you need light is a hilarious kind of punishment. That would drive me totally crazy after like two days.
