People who take the last coffee at work and dont brew a new pot.

[mainegreen]

What punishment should be meted out for this heinous crime?

[Critters2]

1. Forced ignore? nt

[mainegreen]

9. Banning would be preferable

[LaraMN]

2. Some guy came into my office to apologize for "messing with" our tea kettle.

It isn't mine, it's the company's, and he didn't do anything to render it non-functional.

:crazy:

[HopeHoops]

3. ESPECIALLY bad when they put the empty pot back on the burner and DON'T TURN IT OFF!

I would suggest video taping the event and sending the MPG to everyone in the company with the subject line "Coffee ASSHOLE!". Let peer pressure run its course.

[Critters2]

16. Ooh! Girardian scapegoating! I call dibs on the pitchfork concession! nt

[DarkTirade]

4. They have the level in hell that's right above people who talk in the theater.

No need to punish them in this world.

[arbusto_baboso]

5. Office sabotage is the proper punishment.

Use clear packing tape to tape all their desk drawers shut. Spread saran wrap over the door to their office, or entrance to their cube. Fill their desk drawers with packing peanuts. Cover every surface of their work area with post-its, then leave 'em a note asking they order more post-its, since the office seems to be low on them.

[mainegreen]

10. I love it. But I'm too tired to do that.

Especially after making a pot of coffee.

[arbusto_baboso]

15. Then send them a very official looking memo about....

a previous memo which outlined major changes in office procedures that would affect the offender. Then at the end of the memo, say that instructions are to DISREGARD the prvious memo, except for Section B. Then watch the perp drive him/herself nuts trying to find a non-existent memo.

[Ikonoklast]

19. I'd write cryptic messages on each one, though.

[Swede]

6. Public humiliation.

[libnnc]

7. they should be pelted with soggy packets of Sweet -n- Low

[mainegreen]

12. Now that's an idea!

[LynneSin]

8. These people are peons compared to the idiots who put their popcorn in the microwave...

for a minute longer than is needed. But since they were assholes and walked away they didn't hear that the popcorn stopped popping

[mainegreen]

11. Them, and the people who microwave fish.

Teh devil.

[cherish44]

13. If they leave it to me to make a new pot, I'll make it stronger than Mississippi mud water

I hate wimpy coffee. While there are a couple of others with the cajones to drink my coffee, most are not able to handle it.

[blueamy66]

20. Now there's an idea

I'll use 2 packets of coffee the next time someone leaves the pot empty. Thank you.

[Heidi]

14. Cut them off, mid caffeine-jones.

I have very little patience with this sort particular brand of uncouth. Even worse are those who take all but the last quarter-cup, which they leave to simmer and caramelize in the carafe, requiring someone else to scour the carafe before a fresh pot of coffee can be made.

[KamaAina]

17. Don't look at me

in that situation, I always take half a cup :P

[mainegreen]

18. DEMON!!!!

:spank:

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

21. Bastards!

Ban then from the coffee pot for a week, a month, no the whole year :)

[Madrone]

22. In my world it's the water cooler.

That ticks me OFF.

I never drink the work coffee. :puke:

[SteppingRazor]

23. I think it's obvious that they should be tossed into a giant vat of hot coffee.

I mean, that just stands to reason, right?

[mainegreen]

25. My god.

It's ..... perfect.

[lazyriver]

24. If you are sure of the guilty party, casually mention to him/her after

he/she has finished most of their cup, "Hey, don't drink that last bit of coffee. I put laxative in it to get back at (insert another co-worker's name here) because I suspect he/she keeps taking the last of the coffee and not making more".

The culprit will have several hours of nervous worrying and you can enjoy watching him/her hang around the restroom waiting for something bad to begin.

[Skittles]

26. I'd settle for them never using the last coffee filter

and not hunting down some new ones :mad:

[mainegreen]

27. What? You don't reuse the filter?

[Skittles]

28. I work nights, so it's crusted over by the time I get there

yes

[Gormy Cuss]

29. Perfect punishment: a couple of days on Jeopardy.

:donut:

[mainegreen]

30. If they spend a couple days on Jeopardy, does not that mean they win money?

Not a well thought out plan, is it?

Though Jeopardy would be my idea of hell.
Questions and buzzers are not my thing.

[Gormy Cuss]

31. Dunno.
