We Need a Word For This

Okay, we need a word in the English language that describes the frustration you feel when the cup of coffee you bought at the rest stop refuses to cool down. You keep scalding your lips on the steam and burn the tip of your tongue repeatedly as you test it and test it and test it. But even 20 or 30 minutes down the road, you still can’t drink your damn coffee. In my experience, the main culprits in selling too-hot coffee in too-insulated cups are WaWa and McDonalds. Your experiences may differ.
