The Grand Canyon and the Colorado River...
It's raining out...exswimchick forgot her umbrella here at work and was trying to drive around to find a spot outside the building to quick park the car and run in so she could get the umbrella and of course there are no spots, and a bus practically creams right into her as she's trying to make a right hand turn (hate those M'in F'in busses!) so she gives up and drives off in a huff. So on she drives down the dang street towards the too far away parking garage in the pouring rain...sans stupid umbrella...and speeds up to her parking spot. Then the dummy who drives the teeny-tiny Miada (seriously the car is the size of a thumb) parks over the line and big shot SUV on the other side does the same thing so she now has to squeeze the Cam into this teeny-tiny spot...big thanks to the idiots who park next to her. Ooops...looks like she accidentally on purpose slightly hits the SUV's door with hers. Oops! So then she goes digging around in the back seat and in the trunk for some sort of umbrella (or a miracle) and of course there isn't one. Not this time. She just had to clean out the car last weekend in order to fit those xmas gifts inside. So off she goes, pissed off and still sans umbrella. She walks about a block (only five more to go) and realizes that her right foot is soaked. WTF?! She looks down peeks at the bottom of her shoe and sees this huge crack...the size of the Grand Friggin' Canyon. Yup. The Colorado River's a-flowin' right through her shoe. Lovely. So not only is she still sans umbrella but she's literally soaked from head to friggin' toe! So on she walks, five more blocks in squishy soaked shoes and notices that right outside the building there are now three open spots. To top it all off...someone drank the last of the coffee and didn't have the courtesy to make a fresh pot. Blah!

An office cartoon:
This guy is standing in front of his boss's desk wearing a tie that has "F*#K YOU" printed on it. The boss says, "Rumor has it that you have a bad attitude."
I thought it apropos :)
Ha ha! You'd be irked too if you had to WALK all the way to your building in the pouring rain because you forgot your umbrella at the office...with a busted shoe I might add!
The point is: There is always no coffee in the pot because there are two people here who drink the most coffee and never take their turn making it. They're the same ones who steal everyone's creamer and diet coke's from the fridge.
Oh, and I know all of this because my office door is directly across from the kitchen.
The umbrella and shoe deals are just the result of bad planning and bad luck on your part.
However, solutions to the coffee and coke problems are easily remedied. Keep a large thermos and small cooler in a safe place in your office.
Make a pot of coffee and fill your thermos - it may be enough to last you the whole day and you won't have to make coffee for anyone who refuses to reciprocate.
Is it your diet coke and not the office's? If so, you have every right to protect it. Fill your cooler with diet coke and ice in the same manner. Would anyone dare to steal from someone's office? BTW, stealing is grounds for dismissal in any office.
Even a bunch of "lunkheads" will get the message.
True...stealing SHOULD be grounds for dismissal in any office. If you only knew of the things that go on around here...such a disgrace.
