How to drive your co-workers crazy....

Ah Monday! The least favored day of the work week! This past week though my office was truly up in arms with you, Monday. We came in to a huge sign on the coffee machine stating "Out of Service"! Oh the grimaces and groans were endless. Sure you can run down stairs to one of the big coffee shops but not when your motto is "If it's for free, it's for me"! It's amazing how many free beverages are consumed here daily. So while everyone stood around the office willing the coffee machine to produce at least one more fresh pot, I laid in wait for the room to empty and then attacked. In my desk I have a jar of instant coffee as an emergency backup. I put the coffee in, added hot water and fanned the top of my cup allowing the fragrance to waft through the office. A mad panic preceded! People kept coming into the break room checking to see if the machine was now functioning. One by one checking. I heard them asking each other...Was that coffee I just got a whiff of? Do you think they fixed the machine?
Oh I didn't just torture them all morning, I did the same routine in the afternoon!
