First should I say that this post is NOT direct at anyone who doesn’t drink tea/coffee but people who DO drink it but just never make it.
My office only has a few people in it and there is one person who NEVER, NEVER, NEVER makes tea or coffee for anyone else, despite accepting it when others make the round.
Every morning and afternoon we have a tea/coffee round and it is basically left up to two people to make this.
Now I know that if you fill up the kettle and boil it and are making two cups then a third is not a big deal, and generally I would agree with you. But what gets on my nerves is that despite several indirect and direct remarks about the situation the guy still can’t get off his arse and make the effort!
The thing that really takes the biscuit (without a tea to dunk it in!) is that he justified his reasons as “I just get so into my work that I can’t drag myself away” - and again if that was the occasional excuse I would let it ride but I ask “is his work more important and time consuming than mine? - No
To top it all he is a smoker so, if his work was so bloody captivating how, I ask can he drag himself away to roll up the filthy weed, go down three flights of stairs puff his lungs full of cancer and then walk back up, pass the kettle and still have the cheek to accept a coffee 15 minutes later!!!
It is just one more example of the bad manners that have driven the good people of this country to become constantly annoyed by life - as this blog demonstrates.
If only people just made the tea maybe life would be a little better - after all its what this great country was built on.
