    Find enough people who agree with how bad the coffee is, and talk to your manager about it (If you want milk, get one of those tiny desk fridges, and bring in your own milk, or club together with other coffee drinkers, and work out an arrangement) [edit] Or the other alternative, that I prefer - Drink Tea! [/edit]

          try { person.DrinkCoffee(); } catch(BadTasteException ex) { throw ex; } Rethrow the exception towards your boss. He might pick it up, otherwise it might be picked up by the runtime or the debugger. ;P

            Euh.... right, the garbage collector will eventually come, if you stop thinking about your rather untasty cup of coffee. You can ofcourse call Dispose on it :D

              It does have a softer taste. I normally don't drink tea, but I've become a fan since my mum made tea the other day. I can recommend it as a replacement for coffee on the job.

                      Go on strike, form a union and picket the office. Call non-strikers scabs and through things at them and get all the transport unions to strike as well; if your not in France then just ask for nicer coffee and a mini fridge with milk.

                        Add more sugar and top it with more milk. That's what I did when I first moved to Toronto - the 2 coffee flavors Dundas used was too strong for me.

                          You should never add milk to coffee, why ruin the taste ? Coffee is supposed to be strong.

                          You need to have a cup of South Indian coffee before you make that decision.

                              Maybe do what I do. If I have to buy coffee somewhere (like Starbucks) where the coffee is STRONG, just cut it with hot water (or re-heat in a microwave). I can ususally get a good two cups of coffee from one Starbucks coffee (and not the lattes or the other crap they pass off as coffee).
