I asked for a water cooler for our office. We had about 10 people working at the site, one suffered from kidney stones and I had gout. The nearest water cooler was two floors above us.
I asked my manager for a water cooler and he said no. He said if we got a water cooler, the people at the other sites would want one too.
The other two sites had only two people each, so it was different, but also, why the hell wouldn’t you want them to have water too?
He got passed over for promotion and left when a prior subordinate became his supervisor. After he left the new manager asked me if we needed something, and I said we’d like to have a water cooler. She was both shocked that we were previously denied and surprised that water was what we needed to be happy. We’ve had the water cooler ever since.

You missed the opportunity to answer “strippers and steak”.
I was trying to get a slurpee machine next.
Too many stripper recalls lately.
I hate when I get a defective stripper. ☹️

Alan would have a sharp words for you about that (peasant!)
That’s weird… Until today, I’d never heard that one, but this is the second time today!
I hope the frequency won’t keep increasing exponentially…
