We have a water cooler and a coffee machine in our lounge. We need to bring the reservoir of the coffee machine over to the water cooler to fill it. It's about 7 feet between the two. I was about to make some coffee, and a grad student was at the water cooler. It turned out that she was getting exactly the right amount of water, in a paper cup, to make herself one cup of coffee, instead of filling the entire reservoir, which holds enough water for a day or so. So I took the whole reservoir over and filled it, and let her make her cup of coffee first. It struck me as kind of weird that one would not fill the whole thing, and get just enough coffee water for one person. I'm sure I've done things as silly myself. Perhaps she did not realize that the reservoir was removable?
