Oblivious
My coworker has an earlier start time for work than the rest of us. She will make a FULL pot of coffee as soon as she arrives, which is 30 mins before the next person is even expected into the office. By the time the rest of us come in and settle in at our desks, the coffee has already been baking on the heating plate for almost 45 mins and it tastes burnt. I've asked her to not make the pot so early or to even leave making it for the first person who comes into the office after her or to make a smaller first pot, but she wants to have her FRESH cup of coffee right away and thinks it's a waste to not make a full pot of coffee (she's not the brightest bulb). Hardly anyone touches the first pot of coffee and 8 out of 10 times most of the first pot is poured out before a new pot is made later in the morning for the rest of us, so it's wasted anyway. But she sees it as US wasting coffee - not her. Just ridiculous.
