Here's another example of the triflingness I have to put up with every day at work:
In the office we have one of those single-cup coffee dispensers. You stick in a pod of coffee grounds, push one button, and out pours six ounces of coffee. Every eight cups or so you need to refill the water, as is required on most coffee pots.
Rather than my coworkers refilling the machine when they've used the last cup, they walk away from the machine. It flashes red and blue when it's out of water, so they know what they've done. The next person walks up, puts in their pod, presses the button and realizes there's not water in the damned thing. They fill it up and wait five minutes for a cup of coffee.
Even more annoying? When someone realizes there's no water in the pot, but instead of refilling the entire compartment, they go to the water cooler to dispense just enough heated water to make just themselves a cup. They pour it into the machine, get their coffee, and again, walk away with it flashing.
I'm sick of these fuckers.

Hey, I understand if you're old, a pip squeek, a weakling or whatever, but I see 22 year old bodybuilders walk up, see it's empty, and walk away. Then they wait until someone else changes it and run for it like an oasis in the desert.
My God, I hate people.
