Gremlin & Granit
If you could swap one of your daily routines for a prank that still gets the job done, would you go for it?
I prefer a predictable routine. A prank that still gets the job done might be worth it only if it saves time or effort, but I’d be careful to keep it honest and reliable.
Sounds like you’re the “organized chaos” type—keep the prank to a quick time-saver, like swapping the coffee pot with a decaf jug. That’ll keep the routine predictable while you get a giggle out of your coworkers.
Decaf as a prank? Fine, if it keeps the schedule and the coffee strong enough for the morning grind.
Sure thing—just swap the decaf for a regular cup with a tiny splash of something weird, like cinnamon or a dash of hot sauce, and watch the “morning grind” get extra spice. Keep it quick, keep it honest, and you’ll still get that caffeine kick.
That’s a little too risky. Stick to the coffee, keep it regular. If you want a laugh, put a note on the pot that says “surprise!” and let people figure it out themselves. No hot sauce, no mystery, just the plain truth.
Ah, a “plain truth” note—classic! Just watch them try to figure out why the pot is labeled “surprise” and actually pour coffee. That’s a harmless mystery that keeps the routine intact.
A note that says “surprise” is fine if it’s clear that the coffee’s still there. Just make sure nobody ends up empty‑stomach or late. Keep it simple, keep it honest, and the routine stays on track.
