Hmm, companies always fail to realise these huge coffee machines need a lot of cleaning. You're supposed to even get training on proper operation and maintenance of the thing. Vanity purchase obviously.

I wonder if the machine says "We invented that" if you select coffee with milk?

You should have to clean it just for being a non coffee drinking Jessie.

Went you drink strong spirits for as long and as often as Jeff does then coffee tends to have a terrible taste.

Just lie. If the office is against you just meekly join the rota. Then just don't clean it. Once the conversation comes up, follow this important guideline


Smug Coffee Drinking Hipster Fvck Face: Jeff, did you clean the machine yesterday?
Jeff The Welsh Cretin: Yes
SCDHFF: But the machine is still dirty. Also, it smells of urine?!
JTWC: Fvck your face. I will cut you.

A combination of lying and an obvious display of questionable personal hygiene should help you out Jeff.

Very true Ted. Years... decades, of being terrorised by something called an All Black has them tearing their skirts over something innocuous like the inventing of a Flat White.
And not one wave has ever obeyed them, not one. Zilch. That's got to hurt after awhile.

Everything that New Zealand has ever given to the world summed up in one post. The All Blacks and coffee with milk. No wonder you take both so seriously.

My advice to That Welsh Bastard, as he's almost certainly known round the office now, is to investigate the menu of said machine to see if it brews anything you do like. Hot chocolate, perhaps? You could steam up the milk and pour it over your separately acquired chocolate powder, for example. Yummo.

Then you would feel part of the team, could do your bit, and in time lose the nickname.

Absolutely. We take it so seriously a transplanted Welshman has started a thread about cleaning a coffee machine.
I read the thread as being more about the social pressure he is under for wishing to maintain his own culture. No doubt he feels pressured into joining in the pre-cleaning haka as well when he would much rather spend 5 minutes applying fake tan instead.

Perhaps he is like me and prefers to be the office maverick? The renegade? The one when sends passive aggressive emails about the air con at 4am in the morning and shits with the stall door open eyeballing people as they walk in? Perhaps he likes to nick all the office supplies and move the printer around the room randomly? Perhaps he sends angry emails telling people to change the printer toner but hides the toner where no one can find it? Perhaps he likes to bring in his own fan during winter and blast it full power across the entire room? Did you think of that? I bet Jeff is like that too.

Just selfish. Stop being so selfish, jdog. Disgusting.

The right answer is fúck them.

As a private consumer, so to speak, and as a long-ago union rep, my general view is that a voluntary arrangement set up for the benefit of those that partake in it should not try to rope in those not party to the arrangement.
