15 Times Coffee Totally Saved Your Butt — (Happy National Coffee Day!)

Today is National Coffee Day, which means that, in addition to drinking our third cup before noon, we’re taking time to pay tribute to one of nature’s greatest inventions. (Next to rum, of course.)

This ode to coffee — or cafe, java, joe, whatever you call it — celebrates all those times when you needed coffee, badly, and it was there. Such as …

15. When you ate way too much at dinner and now you have to drive home.

14. When your boss is having a super bad day and you’re the one who remembered to make the coffee.
