Rant: just start a new pot of coffee you lazy [expletive]

[lukethedrifter]

If office coffee is as bad as firehouse coffee I don't know how you could drink it. I used to bring in a French Press and was labeled a homo for doing so.

I've heard a story here at work about this kid hired right outta college years ago. Some senior engineer asked him to go make coffee, but apparently the new hire didn't know how...so instead of asking for help, he tried to figure it out. The new hire put the coffee filter in, filled it all the way to the top with coffee grounds, and hit start. The coffee maker started overflowing, and water was going everywhere...and apparently it was the strongest cup of coffee ever made here at work.

It was the only time he was allowed near the coffee maker. I don't think he works here anymore.

Haha, a girl at my last job was asked to make coffee in exchange for our coworker helping her bang out this tech issue. So she goes over to the pot, fills it with grounds, and then asks him if he wants cream. "Yeah." So she pours the creamer into the filter.

We bought one of those K things for the home. It's good.

At work I always leave the pot empty if I take the last cup. I like to leave just a tad, enough to where they will have to go and dump it.

why you son of a

Just because. If you do it right you leave just enough to where they can't tell if it will fill the cup up or not, and they will go ahead and pour it only to find out it's only 1/3 full and it's burnt. That way not only do they have to make coffee, but they have to go dump and rinse the cup too, not to mention the moment of desperate hope they had that there was a cup left only to have that dream squashed.

my blood is boiling right now

I can't tell you how many times I've brewed coffee into a full pot. Once I managed to brew iced tea with the cauldron thing upside down, walked away and came back to find gallons of tea all over that side station.

The other thing I like to do when I have to make the pot is to put less coffee in it, but the second it starts brewing rather than have the pot underneath I put my mug. That way I fill up right away, and since I put less in the first cup is about right. The other stuff is for [expletive], but I usually only drink 1 cup out of each pot so it's not a big deal.

I bring my own. Relying on others can be frustrating.

The office coffee pot and coffee is my own. So is the bathroom and fridge.
