I used to come in early to avoid the worst of the commuter traffic. But I don’t drink coffee, so when I came in I went straight to work without even thinking about the coffee machine. Others would drag in later, then complain because I hadn’t made coffee for them. I would have done it if they’d asked nicely, but they were snide and then tried to get my boss to assign it as one of my duties. This stink escalated until it reached the Director, who already thought that people wasted too much time standing around drinking coffee, so he axed the coffee machine. Of course the coffee drinkers blamed it all on me…
