What type of person would deliberately disregard their colleagues and not refill the office coffee pot(s)? Could this type of person, who shows no consideration for their fellow worker, have the same characteristics of a serial killer? Although this may sound extreme, a correlation can be found. This paper will show a positive correlation between the personalities that deliberately does not refill the coffee pot and serial killers. This paper will examine the prototype of serial killers and correlate it to those who do not refill the coffee pot, AKA the nonrefiller.

To many, coffee is an innocent drink with the only harm being a possible caffeine addiction. Many people consider coffee as their wake up drink, something to get them going in the mornings. Most companies offer coffee to their employees without a second thought. It is considered an employees right to have coffee at the office. Any prevention of an employee to have their coffee is a violation of that employee's right. Office drinkers beware; there may be more at stake than caffeine addiction.

Many offices have two coffee pots, pot A and pot B. The employer does this so the employees are not without their coffee. An example of the possible problem can be illustrated by assuming a scenario in which pot A has ?a cup of coffee left in it and pot B has 1 ?cups. A person takes a cup from pot B and that now leaves ?cup in pot A and ?cup in pot B. At this point, a considerate person would put the ?cup from one pot into the other pot and start a fresh pot of coffee. It takes approximately 22 seconds to start a pot of coffee.

Did You Know?
This article was written for fun for my father, who was very upset about the folks in his office who would take the last cup of coffee and not brew another. He asked me one day to do a psychological study into the matter, and this was the result.

What about (a) the employee who's been around ever since the years when making coffee was in the receptionist's job description, (b) the new or temporary employee who doesn't know where the clean filters are, or (c) the clueless employee who doesn't know how to start a pot of coffee?

Your title reminds me of the old correlation between murder and ice cream sales (both are just high in the summer though).

I know who the non refillers and non makers of coffee are. How can someone always come to drink but never make the coffee?
