Imagine being this bothered by other people carrying a coffee around.
What no beverages does to a mf >

My cubicle neighbor and I got a mutual little fridge for our beverages, it’s great. >

We hid this huge toaster oven with a grill on top and a rotisserie attachment under our main work bench for a very long time when I was nightshift maintance. No one seemed to ask why we had a chicken in the ops office freeze or fridge. >

Never seen someone so triggered over another adult holding a cup >

Had a moment of weakness, haha. Tired of getting called out about not having a coffee. 
Windchime, where's your coffee?
Windchime, this meeting is 3 hours so don't forget your coffee.
Omg, did you finish your coffee already? Do you need to go get another one? Cuz it's totally fine, windchime, we already have our coffee so we can hold the fort down while you go get yours. >

It reads like your coworkers are actually trying to be nice to you?
Long meetings do wear down the soul though. >

They're concerned I'm changing the system. If a higher up sees I can do a good job at a moderate pace without having to spend 90 collective minutes a day making or sourcing beverages, they might hold others to that standard. >

Guessing you haven't been in an office environment long. They're not "concerned you're changing the system". I guarantee that your superiors do not give half a shit that you don't drink coffee, nor do they care that your coworkers spend time making coffee. Being the guy who thinks everybody needs to be busting their ass 24/7 does not put you in a good light, as it doesn't sound like you're in management. This doesn't sound like an issue with company culture, it sounds like a superiority complex.
Will say though, very unpopular opinion. Well done lol >

Reads like someone new in their career that idolize a workaholic culture >

Beverage culture? >

God damn hipsters and their beverages >

Fuckin beatniks always drinking water >

You seem pretty salty about all this. 
Hold on I think I got a water bottle nearby you can have. >

It’s a sign that they might need to up their water intake. >

You sound dehydrated. >

Probably from their coffee >

You’d have a mental breakdown at a construction sight. What gets me is the guys drinking Mountain Dew at 6 am >

I’ve worked quite a few outside jobs and my favorite coworkers were banging back cigarettes and RedBulls at that hour. Water was for later. >

Oh trust me I’ve done my fair share of that but something about Mountain Dew or Pepsi at 6 am was off putting >

I don’t understand how this is off putting to people. Mountain Dew is disgusting, but Diet Coke, ginger ale, or sprite settles my stomach in the morning >

Im bringing my water with me dammit. And there will be hell to pay if I dont have somewhere to plug in my tea kettle.
Take my upvote. >

Fucking beverage culture?
Why do people think you can just insert "culture" after any old noun and it somehow makes them sound smart? >

It's like saying oxygen culture lol. >

I'm partial to nutrition culture. >

Not into it, personally. >

Wow, interesting. 
[sips coffee] >

☕️ >

why do u give a shit whatsoever >

Me too, just with a spritz of vodka.
Kidding >

This is more of a rant. >

Yes it is >

Then you need to take it to r/rant where it belongs.This isn't the sub to vent your frustration over your own social ineptitude. >

Average beverage consumer over here >


I don’t panic when I forget my coffee or run out in the middle of a two hour meeting

No one does OP.  If I forget to bring my coffee, or forget coffee in the morning altogether, the most I’ll do is grumble about the inevitable headache.
Why does it bother you so much to see people with coffee cups in their hands? >

Not a coffee drinker, but I think there are people who can't live without a coffee in morning for work. So yes, some will panic. >

I have prepared drinks at all times. A cold lemon water, a hot tea and a hot herbal tea sans caffeine. It’s my little lovely habit >

seriously. a nice bevie goes a long way for the soul. >

Exactly like let me have my Iroh moment of peace in this vast hell scape 😂 >

i wish I could raw dog life like OP 😭 >

Holding a cup stops me from from talking with my hands. >

Who tf cares lol >

It’s called an emotional support beverage and it’s a way of life. >

LOL. Beverage culture? It's not a culture. You need fluid in order to live and it's good to have regular access to it. >

2-3 hour meetings?  Jesus I would need a coffee.  There is no reason for a meeting to be that long unless it's a working meeting.  If it's a working meeting then maybe but people should be able to come and go if they're thirsty or tired.
