I hope your day got much, much better. I worked at a school and the coffee pot had a note posted on it that said, "NO ONE touches this coffee pot but Carol". It was a finicky pot and everyone wanted to put to many grounds in the pot. At least once a week for the first few months I'd hear someone yelling my name. I'd head into the kitchen to clean the overflowing water and coffee off the counter and floor. Later I was out for a week on vacation and when I came back we had a nice, new coffee pot that didn't overflow.
