Make it yourself so that the carafe doesn’t burn when no one else drinks it.

Hey, at least they said please, instead of spewing a caffeine-deprived diatribe of disgust all over the note.

Not much tastes worse than burnt coffee, at least among the substances you are supposed to put in your mouth.

Dear Note Writer,
Learn to make tea. Then you don’t have to depend on coffee.
Love,
Tea

An April Fools’ joke would be filling the carafe with prune juice. I just don’t see the heh-heh in an empty pot.

I don’t think I could finish a whole carafe myself…

Did anyone else read the subject line and expect Mr. T?
“I pity the fool that don’t make a fresh pot of coffee!”

Am I the only one that hates the word carafe?

I don’t mind the word “carafe”, but I do hate the word “surreal”. Sorry for my randomness, but I had to get that off my chest. “The whole experience was so surreal….” Uh huh. Sure it was.

Coffee drinkers seem a bit uptight to me. Wouldn’t you rather have a fresh pot that you just brewed yourself than a cup of stale Joe? Wouldn’t you rather spend the 2 minutes it takes to brew a fresh pot lounging about in the break room – Daydreaming, on your smartphone, smelling the fresh coffee, not working? Or better yet, wouldn’t you rather bring a magnificent Thermos filled with your own delicious blend than drink that cheap office sludge?

You think April Fool’s day is torture in the office? Try working in a school with children.
All. Day. Long.
“Your shoe is untied…April Fools!”
“I have to use the bathroom…April Fools!”
“I don’t understand my homework…April Fools!
“You’re not my friend anymore…April Fools!”
“Your hair is blue…April Fools!”
“Owww I hurt myself…April Fools!”
“Stupidpoopylalalalamonkey*raspberry*weeeeeeeargdfffrrrftbhnnjnggrctd…April Fools!”
“Bobby is a joy to be around….April Fools! I murdered your child today!”
Whoops, that last one was me.

I must be getting old because I did not make even one April Fools’ joke this year.

I never understood the logic of whoever finishes the coffee should make another pot. What if I make another pot and then the next person who wants one doesn’t come along for hours? Then there’s a pot of coffee sitting going stale and luke warm. Is that what you want to be confronted with?
