Now, what if I am the caffeine junkie and nobody else at the shop is in
a mood for coffee and the pot is empty? Looks like I gotta brew it then!
(or guzle some Mountain Dew.)


I had worked doubles, seven days a week for over six months when my
idiot boss decided that I should make the first pot of coffee, along
with everything else I had to do. I told him I didn't drink coffee, and
didn't know how to make it. He grunted, "You'll make it, or you're
fired.". The next morning I decided the pot wasn't clean enough, and
scrubbed it till it shined. I smeared a fingertip full of Dawn inside
the pot, then filled the Mr. Coffee. He came in bleary eyed about 20
minutes later. He didn't even look at the pot. He just filled his cup
and was about to swallow when his eyes went wide and he spit it all over
the kitchenette. He dumped it out, followed by the rest of the pot. I
just smiled and said, "I told you that I didn't know how to make
coffee. Do you want me to try to make another pot?" He turned bright
red and started yelling, "Don't you EVER touch the coffee maker again!"


I preferred Mt. Dew, anyway. ;-)


Meanwhile, decades ago at a much younger age, I did put Joy (or
the like) regular dish detergent in a dishwasher. This was one of those
dishwashers with a dual hose that went to a fitting that fits onto a
kitchen sink faucet. This generated a few cubic yards of foam at a rate
2-3 orders of magnitude faster than the rate at which such foam can go
down the drain, IIRC.
Thankfully, the back door was at the kitchen and we had brooms. I don't
remember whether or not the snow shovel was used.
