You know, she seems hostile enough without the coffee. Maybe someone was doing her a favor by drinking the half and half, therefore leaving the coffee undrinkable. Maybe they were trying to send a message along the lines of, “You’re a crazy freak. You don’t need coffee.”

oh, you two princesses had it easy!

my grandmother died giving birth to my mother, who was dying while she gave birth to me! i was adopted by an armadillo with two wooden legs and a martha washington wig who put me to work in the ham factory.

the only sleep i got was when i passed out from the pain of my ribs breaking while i carried the pigs to die while they looked me right in the eyes and pleaded with me, via ESP, to spare their little pink bellies.

then i had to monitor the kitten boxing in the evenings while Grandma Armadillo took lye showers five feet away. if there wasn’t enough blood by the time she finished, well…you can guess what i had to do with the kittens.

Even if the writer had to be at work at 4:45 (because so many job shifts begin on 15 min intervals) and with a 45 min drive. They are still getting ready for an hour.
Cut down on the shower time and make/pick up a coffee before work.

#10.3 Geek Goddess

We don’t really know for sure that they drive for 45 minutes. All we know is that they drive for 45 minutes without caffeine. Perhaps they are stopping 45 minutes into the drive and getting coffee somewhere. Or they have coffee before they leave, but the caffeine has left their system by the time they are only 45 minutes away from the office. We need the full story here.

It could be a 3 hour drive but there are only coffee shops every 45 minutes on the drive. But then if they wake-up at 3 to make a 3hour drive to get to work at 4:45, i’m less interested now in the coffee and more in the whole “manipulating the fabric of the space-time continuum” thing.

‘Cause, you know, it’s absolutely impossible to make coffee at home.

Simple.

Just let x = the initial amount of 1/2 & 1/2.
Let y = the amount taken by some heartless bastard in the office.
Let I = someone who voluntarily gets up at 3 am and then bitches about it.
Therefore, 3/4x=y and ∞ = how much Sirius hates algebra.

Actually the answer is 1/4.

another math challenge:

I love sirius and I love algebra, but I, who love[s] sirius and who love[s] algebra, understand neither.

I, who gets up at 3 sounds right, but I’ve got a funny feeling…

I – who the fuck gets ups at 3? – won’t get any (coffee).

Relative clauses…gotta love them… especially the ones between consenting adults.

have squandered long distances for a pocketful of grumbles, such are premises
All limes and zest, still a man hears what he wants to hear

Oh yes it’s true, this gal needs what she oh so needs
And disregards the rest, hmmmm

When I left my home and my family, I needed some more coffee
In the company of strangers
In the fridge where I left it, cool, ah so cool
Looking low, looking high, for some half and half, as haggard people do
Looking for that sweet relief that only they would know

Li la li…

Asking only for some half and half, I come lookin for a swig but I get no comfort
Just the leavins from the whores up on the 7th floor
I know its you! There were times when I was so hard up
I took some from up there

Li la li…

In the breakroom there stand I, a worker, and a slacker at my best
And I carry the reminder of every moocher in the place that took my stuff took my stuff
til I cried out in my anger and my shame
I am leaving, I am leaving, but fuck yes I still remain
Fuck yes I still remain

At least steal from your company rather than your fellow co-workers. That is all I am asking. Well, unless you are stealing from that uppity pregnant bitch who writes notes like, “That was my baby’s calcium”. You can totally steal from her ass. She deserves it because she acts entitled because she spreads her legs and got knocked up.

While I don’t condone stealing from the office fridge (unless of course, it’s an unopened can of Diet Coke…) , we all just know that putting something in the office fridge is basically saying, “TAKE ME!” To expect your precious half and half to still be there is just damned unrealistic. If it’s that important to you, keep your half and half in a locked cooler, handcuffed to you at all times.

I have to start work at 5 am two days a week. I have a half-hour commute. The first thing I did when I took the job was go off the caffeine, because I figured I did not want to mess around in the morning making coffee just to be awake enough to drive in.

I have two methods for staying awake without caffeine: one is to get up at 3 am, eat breakfast, get ready for work, and then take a 15 minute nap before driving in. The other is to get up 15 minutes before I have to leave, make a mad dash to get ready and rely on the adrenaline rush to get me there. The first method works better.

I am sure to be destroyed for this………..

At what point do you stop being funny and start becoming insensitive? I mean I know it’s lame to post the note and the emotion behind it is pretty crazy, but someone did steal someone else’s item.

What a fun world to live in. Stealing is ok, but note writers need be MOCKED on the internets.

#35.1 anglophile

Look, americantrotter. No, stealing is not ok. Yes, we would all be pissed if someone at our work stole our half-and-half, thus making it impossible for us to enjoy our much-anticipated cup of coffee.

What makes it funny and mock-worthy is the writing and posting of such a note, because passive-aggressive notes never do any good, and frequently make things worse.

Use your imagination for a second. If you were the sort of person who would use almost all of someone else’s half-and-half, what do you suppose your reaction would be on seeing this note? I can tell you this: it wouldn’t be to run out to the store and buy the notewriter a new quart of half-and-half. It would, no doubt, make you determined to use up the next container of half-and-half the writer brings in. That’s if you even realize it’s addressed to you at all. Most likely you would be the type of person who never even stops to think that someone would be upset by you drinking the half-and-half, and so therefore, you aren’t even aware you’ve just been scolded.

All writers of p/a notes are living in a fantasy world akin to that world we lived in as children when our parents yelled at us and then we fantasized about running away or even possibly contracting a rare disease and dying. They’d be sorry then! But most people grow out of this stage and realize it is almost impossible to guilt people into feeling repentant. Those who don’t grow out of it write notes like this, expecting some sort of satisfaction they are never going to get, and we mock them.

I’m not a fan of stealing but as far as I’m concerned when you put something in a communal refigerator you’re taking your chances. Especially with luxury items like half and half that are supposed to sit there for an inordinate length of time. It’s one thing to keep a day’s worth of stuff in there but when you start loading up for the week shit’s going to go missing.

The note writer probably didn’t put her name on the half and half leading others to assume it was community creamer. I assume that she didn’t put her name on the container because she didn’t put it on this note either.
