Decaf? WTF?

Ok, there's what? A couple of dozen people in the entire fucking world that drink decaf, right?

Why do I have to share a damn coffee station with about half of them?

Fuckers come in in the morning and put a HALF A POT OR LESS of the regular stuff on the side burner and put on a pot of decaf, walk away and then never come back for a damn cup. I walk in to get coffee and there's like maybe a cup or two of regular and a full pot of that worthless shtuff sitting on the HOT burner. Of course, Mr./Mrs. Fucking "Idrinkdecafbecausei'mafuckingwussybitch" didn't bother to turn the side burner on. WTF?

You are almost lower than the motherfucker who takes the last cup of coffee out of the regular pot and leaves just enough in the bottom to keep the pot from burning and walks out.

I hope you all rot and die with your worthless decaf bullshit. Besides, we have starbucks in the cafeteria now, bitch.

Drinking decaf coffee is like drinking non alcoholic beer. What's the point? Decaf coffee should be outlawed.

I check the trash to make sure some moron didn't use a decaf packet to make the coffee. I do, however, use the "special" orange rimmed coffee pot that's designated for decaf to make regular coffee.

I'd rather see people unexpectedly bouncing off of walls than people without their daily caffeine fix!

some of us love the taste of coffee but hate the dependency and the effects of caffeine.

oh yeah, I almost forgot, quit whining.

Decaf coffee just doesn't taste right. My morning coffee is pretty much the only caffeine I have all day long. So, I wouldn't say I am a caffeine addict (though I used to be) but decaffeinated pisses me off. Though, again, it is about taste for me.

I can't drink Decaf tea and it tastes pretty much the same or better if it's iced... but Decaf coffee is just WRONG.

I use to work were Neo does and there were always these fuckers that would come down to our floor, where the smoking room was - yes we could smoke IN the building the room had a big air filtration machine in it, and take the last cup of coffee then go the back upstairs. It finally got the to point we were hiding waiting for these gobblers to catch them in the act. All it took was about 10 stress out, over worked engineers with hate in their eyes to make these people get there coffee on their own damn floor.

I'm sorry Neo, you are probably now on the floor with some of those very same fukers.

I thougth about putting the Terry Tate to the fuckers if I saw them. Which of course I never did.

So I just flattened Zeep the first time he walked by.

Taking out gnomes is still a joy to me even if I don't play EQ anymore.

I drink too much coffee (2-3 pots in winter, 1-2 in summer) to drink regular anymore. I got to the point where I wouldn't sleep at night and all the caffeine was fucking me up pretty bad. There are good decaf coffees out there. The first cup of decaf does taste different but you get used to it and now I can have an occasional cup of regular and can't tell the difference.

I do agree about the fuckers that leave a burnt ring of crap in the bottom of the pot though. I like my coffee fresh and will dump it if it smells bad.

If I had a choice, I would much rather be drinking a nice oolong or green tea all day though. Taiwanese teas are excellent.

It does affect me, either! I had two double espressos last night just before bed!

I am immune to amphetamine stimulants, as well. It was really shitty in uni when I needed to pull a late nighter because I had to rely on willpower.

I'm a 3 cup a day guy (black) and it must be caffeinated. I blame my mother.

When I was a little kid (around 3), I would bug my mother to sip her coffee. She finally obliged me, thinking that I wouldn't like the flavor. However, she sweetened it to the point that it was one of the sweetest flavors I knew. I was hooked.

For years after (until I was old enough to make my own coffee), my mother would drink half of her cup, and I would finish it.

Things got worse when I started working at a coffee shop in high school. I drank countless cups of free coffee during my shift. People always warned me that coffee would stunt my growth, and I disbelieved them.

At 25 years old, I am 5'4". They didn't lie. Bastages.
