Office etiquette.

We have people in my office who are so damned lazy. They will walk a great distance to get coffee. Here is what gets me… sometimes they will get there and there is not quite enough left in the pot to fill their coffee cup, which of course causes them great pause.
Should they just have half a cup, or just shut the pot off?


What would you do?

Pour out the contents, refill the filter, make another pot!

I don't drink coffee. I refuse to have any interaction with office coffee pots. Therefore, I am able to watch, with a detached air, the antics of office poltroons as they try to maneuver themselves into a position of not having to have a hand in the maintenance of said article.

I know; it's so much easier to just run to Rite-Aid for some Vivarin. That's my favorite food.

Used to work in an office with lots of people, as an office junior used to detest making everyone coffee.
Then as i progressed a bit further made everyones coffee by choice, with about 40 staff making coffee equivilated to about 45 minutes away from the desk twice a day!!
