As a student/employee who frequently both relies on coffee and only seems to carry JUST ENOUGH money for it, this FML made me very, very upset :( My condolences, OP.
That is the most teasing thing I've ever heard! If it wasn't boiling hot I could have put my mouth under it :P
I havent seen one of those machines since 1990 at my local ymca.
You have coffee at school? school? Man i need to go there!
Well, this is Denmark, Scandinavia. Take a look at the Wikipedia article "List of countries by coffee consumption per capita", then you'll see what I'm talking about.
And may also be the difference between primary school (i.e. K-12) and college or university. OP, can you clarify?
Sure, I go to none of those, haha. The Danish school system is a bit different from yours. We have uni, but not primary school, high school and college. Instead, there's 10 years of main school, starting at age 6, then 3 years of optional secondary education in the gymnasium, which most people choose. (Both primary and secondary educations are free, university too, and once we turn 18 we get a monthly allowance for as long as we're under education.) Just to make this as redundantly detailed as possible, I go to something similar to the gymnasium, the HF/højere forberedelse. It more or less means "higher prep". It's 2 years, also free, and you can enroll at any age after main school, so here's quite an age spectrum. I'm 19.
Oh, and coffee-wise, educational institutions after main school usually have a coffee machine. Some main schools do, too. Mine did. Open a coffee shop next to one of these places and you're set for life.
Many universities have vending machines that give your pick of coffee and hot chocolate. I go for the hot chocolate, but buy my teachers a coffee every now and again. I actually got extra credit for it once because my teacher was having a crappy day until I brought some coffee for him.
next time i suggest going for a run.... or a bucket of cold water always does the trick. or bring your own cup next time
lol how can it do that im sure theres a sensor that shows there are no cups so it would be out of order right?
Wait a minute.... You have a coffee vending machine at your school? What?
Could mean college or university kind of school, rather than high school etc. I'd be mildly surprised to see a coffee machine at an American high school outside the teachers' lounge, but not entirely shocked.
I'm from Canada but we had coffee and tea at our cafeteria in high school.
I had a coffee machine and a cappuccino machine in high school.
Been there done that lol
Coffee would just give you a small boost anyway. Next time try doing some exercise. Even just running in place for a little can give you the same boost as caffeine and for free. At twice the fun!
