double irony attempt
It's a brave man that attempts to describe a moment with two layers of (actual) irony. Here goes:
This morning I placed my fresh mug of coffee down on my bedside table. To arm myself for the week ahead I began to gather up the things I needed, including a "get one free" card for my local coffee shop..
My tired fingers fumbled and the card plopped into my mug coffee.
Irony 1: My coffee was ruined by the ink on a card that existed only to provide me with coffee
Irony 2: The card was ruined, by the very beverage it had worked so hard to represent, thus rendering itself incapable of replacing said coffee.
This was not very interesting. I apologise.
