Have you ever gone to your break room to get coffee only to find that there's a tablespoon of it left in the pot while it's on the warmer? This irks me! The worst part of it is it happens a lot. It doesn't take a genius to know you don't leave the pot like that.
Last Friday after lunch my co-worker smelled something burning. So when she went to the break room she saw the source of the smell, and yes, it was the black-bottomed pot. It was too hot we didn't dare put it in the sink. The person responsible came by and realized what she'd done. I guess she felt bad coz she tried to clean it. This morning I went to get my coffee and there she was, the perpetrator. Sure enough there was half a cup of coffee left in the pot. She saw me pour it down the sink and make a new pot. She asked, "Wasn't that enough?" And I said, "I don't drink from bottom of the pot and that wouldn't even make a full one." She said, "Oh you know what it is, I couldn't tell how much was left coz of how wide the metal part is." O... M... G... I can't believe I heard that. Am I really working with this person? I mean, really? Was she trying to give me an excuse for not doing what she's supposed to do?
But like I said, it's a pet peeve. I'll get over it. I already made a fresh pot and it smells so good.
THAT is a annoying! The same people leave like an inch of milk in the carton in the fridge. Or who leave a bunch of dirty dishes in the sinks instead of putting it in the dishwasher. Or an empty box of tea in the little tea rack. WTF people? Office kitchen etiquette!
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain, sister. It seems like she doesn't get the hint even though you spell it out for her. But maybe after she sees it go on for a while, she'll learn.
Happy Friday! Have a great weekend!
Girl... sad to say it wasn't just the coffee. She's not the most popular kid in the office either. I really try but she makes it difficult to work with her. *sigh* I may have to spell it out in BIG BOLD LETTERS.
