Why is it that some of these jackasses around here cannot put in a filter the proper way? At least twice a day, I go grab a cup of joe, and the pot is full of grounds because some idiot couldn't check to make sure the filter wasn't flopping over.
I like strong coffee, but damnit, i don't want to have to chew it. |
| Just be happy that someone actually takes the initiative to exert themselves enough to make coffee. The last office I worked in suffered from the "almost-empty-milk-jug" syndrome. There would always be 1/32" of coffee left in the pot. After I had started 2 pots when I first got in. |

my wife deals with this same shit at her office. people are just lazy fucks that want someone else to do it for them The ones that I absolutely want to take out back and impale on a stick of 6" conduit are the fucks that take a cup of coffee and leave 1/4 left to boil off in the pot. |
| I bought one of these years ago solves the problem just make sure they do not toss it out. Link |

We have 2 coffee pots at work. One is the "community" pot which is all paid for by the company and churns out weak Foldgers and is often staffed by the idiots you mention.
The other is a "buy in" pot in one of the managers office which starts with whole bean. Needless to say, it does not have that problem and has much better tasting coffee to boot. |
Where I'm at, TWO TIMES they've tried to have a coffe pot going, and BOTH TIMES I told them I wasn't getting involved because I drink maybe two cups of coffee a week, and I keep instant (yeah, I know  ) in my desk. The only logical place to keep said coffee pot is in my office.
Well......after just ONE WEEK guess who everyone expected to keep the coffee going? I cleaned and bleached it and it sits unused 8ft away from me. |
| I'M glad I don't like coffee. At work they will leave pots on the warmer over the weekend and of course it boils dry. Then they whine about the burn't coffee taste. We even put a timer on the outlet so it turns off after hours. Soon after someone unplugged the timer to make a pot over the weekend and then left a fresh pot minus 1 cup to boil dry. |

I bring a thermos of coffee made the way I want, from the coffee I want, in my own coffee brewer at home unmolested by office creatures. One thermos, that's cute. I drink upwards of 4 - 5 POTS of coffee a day. I understand your avatar much better now. Pmc |

I got to work early one day and sat down, and about 5 minutes later the next guy comes in and says "Where's the coffee"?
"Excuse me?" "First person in is supposed to start coffee - you know that." "Actually, I didn't, because I don't drink coffee." So he smiles a bit and says, "well hell, you can still make it even if you don't drink it" "I don't know how." "What do you mean? It's the simplest thing in the world!" So next day, I get there, look at the can - no directions. Look at the pot - 12 cups. So I load the coffee into the filter and get her going. 5 minutes later Mr. Coffee shows up, looks at the coffee pot, looks at me, smiles, pours a cup, sips, and almost spits it out. "What in the hell did you do?' "I made coffee like you asked." "How much did you put in the filter?" "Well, the can didn't have directions, but I remembered how my Mom used to make tea, so I put in 1 scoop per cup plus 1 for the pot. That's thirteen." 
He looks at me, looks at his mug, looks back, and says "You don't have to make coffee anymore." |

I drink upwards of 4 - 5 POTS of coffee a day. I generally drank around 3 pots in the late 70's. Now it's just a big thermos for work, but that is on top of the half pot I drink before I leave for work. I make up for quantity with strength.

Yeah I bring my own coffee in. Solves that problem, and the hassles of having to chip in money and make the coffee and clean the damn pot out and clean the messes people make around the coffee brewer. Way too much hassle.
I also refuse to use/clean the communal refrigerator because of assholes making messes and leaving food to rot in it.
