Not being able to get the specific type of free iced tea that she wanted annoyed her so much that she saved an email about it for (presumably) years so she could make a blog post complaining about how mildly rude her coworker was.
This makes it interesting. It makes it interesting for HN because (for one example) people here set up services that sometimes include free "as much as you can use" tiers, and are then surprised when someone starts using that 24*7 for terrabytes of transferred data, way beyond the normal use patterns of everyone else.
I share things from other people and places, you know.
On one side the guy that wants to keep all the drinks for himself and thinks it's ok. On the other hand we got someone creating a blog post about "Microkitchen" which is something that 99.99% of the world's population has no idea about.
Better complain about those, then. Get to it.
(My company doesn’t have a micro kitchen...)
Adults debating about an imaginary problem, while it's a mere education issue.
I find more than normal not taking the last piece of cake or choosing another flavor of tea (or drinking water) if my favourite flavor is out of stock.
Oh, and I don't find so offensive going to the nearest supermarket or café to buy any groceries I need.
