Hot Shot
« on: December 16, 2008, 05:11:44 PM »
You pour a cupful of water in.  Then it boils.  You dispense it all back into your cup.  Thus giving you the perfect amount.

HOW IS IT THAT PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS CONCEPT?? ?? ? 

Now I have to go clean up another mess.  MY cup overflowed because the last person didn't get it.   :x

It amazes me how dull some people can be.

Oh, and please no snide comments (at least towards me).

I first read this at 9pm. Six hours later, I'm still not sure exactly what we're talking about here, although, the pour-one-cup-in-boil-it-pour-one-cup-out makes sense forgiving a little evaporation because it would be too nominal to really make a difference.

I assume we're talking about an automated coffee machine of some sort?
People do this over-fill thing out of the misconception that they are doing a favour for the next person.





I think.
That's the only answer I've been able to procure.

I suggest posting a sign over the machine in question reminding your fellow teachers that the road to the downfall of American values is paved in doing favors for other people...
Then remove all the coffee grinds from the machine and surrounding area (hiding unused beans/grinds in an inconspicious and dowright bizarre place) and fill the little fucker up to the brim.

No coffee.  It just boils water.  It only holds about 2 cups of water.  Some people just put a random amount of water in it and then pour out what they need.  That's how I wind up with a mess.

In this case though, it was at home.  I told Enrique about it and he claims that he did put the exact amount in the last time he made my tea for me so *I* must have left some water in there the time before that.  We don't know whose fault it really was, so we just agreed to check for water each time we use it.

Did I already say this?  I feel like I typed this out already.

Cherubim is plural; Genesis 3:24 specifies one flaming sword. Presumably flaming swords were in short supply."
