An open letter to the coffee-drinking buttholes in my office

Post by JL21 »

Dear coffee-drinking buttholes in my office,

When you fill your cup with coffee, please take note of how much coffee is left in the pot. If there isn't enough left for another cup, please kindly make more.

Do not leave a tiny amount in the pot with the pot sitting on the burner. When you do this, the tiny amount of coffee will burn. This annoys me for several reasons. First, it leaves a terrible scent around the office. If you could somehow combine the odors of maple syrup and feces, that's the odor that you have cursed the office with. Second, some poor sap- usually me- has to clean the tar out of the pot. And last but not least, it's just [expletive] inconsiderate to not make more.

Sincerely,

Your fellow coffee drinker that will stab you in the face with a fork if this continues

This is what happens when people treat coffee like just another beverage.

...and people laughed at Luke and I for holding coffee-making on a pedestal. Who's laughing now JL? Who's laughing now?

Mwaaahahaha!

I mean.... c'mon. Is it that hard to just make another pot? Open little bag, dump into the filter, put the filter in the machine, push the button.

++ Totally agree. The burnt coffe smell ranks right up there with burnt microwave popcorn. And I'm sure it's the same idiots that do this....

Yet another reason why I enjoy working from home!

If you drink coffee with your butthole, I think you're doing it wrong.

No. This is what happens when people act like selfish jerks. And yes, it is irritating. The coffee pot at work holds maybe 5-6 cups, but I seem to have to make a new pot every other time I get a cup. It's much more convenient for the person who got the last cup to make the new pot as they can just press go and leave rather than having to wait around while it brews.

Which reminds me of a hilarious, coffee enema scene in the latest Futurama mini-movie... but I digress.

(Fry gets it "to go"; the "to go" cup has a hilarious lid)
