Writes our submitter in California: “Our custodial staff is very careful about not throwing stuff away just because it looks like trash. This co-worker wanted to make sure the right things got thrown away, but might have gotten a little overly specific.”

The next morning, Lindsay found her favorite coffee mug filled to the brim with not-coffee. The result was Instagrammed.
