- BullyJack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+25"The tainting occurred over several months. When workers realized what was going on, they told supervisors and an investigation began. When nothing came of the probe, workers had a video camera installed in the room where staffers made coffee."
Did they continue drinking the coffee during the investigation....just so they could catch the guy redhanded? - TheBarge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24I'll tell you this, if a co-worker was even being *investigated* for pissing in (or otherwise tainting) the coffee in the office, I'd stop drinking the damned coffee.
- BullyJack, on 10/12/2007, -7/+25Yes, you would and I would, but we're talking about employees of the federal government.
- Dopamini, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10I liked Michael Wilbon's solution: Co-employee get together BEATDOWN.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Too bad the article doesn't say HOW they found out. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall.
"Is it necessarry for me to drink my own urine? No, but it's sterile, and I like the taste".
--shameless Dodgeball quote. - buyer687, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8If you put urine in coffee, you're supporting the terrorists.
- ScornForSega, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Now that's a binary liquid that I'm afraid of.
- DCMacHead, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11This is a little "off topic", but did anyone see the R Kelly skit on the Dave Chappelle show tonight?
- glock22ownr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Oh the possibilities are endless....
"The best part of waaakin uuupp... is Shaheen in your cup !!" - arkmtech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6The sad thing is, where I work, urinating in the sludge they call "coffee" might actually make it better.
- Scottamus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Someone burns themselves drinking hot coffee = millions of dollars.
A group of workers drink pee coffee for months = $1200 to pay for equipment they bought.
Score one for justice. - glock22ownr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5@ Dopamini:
That's a great idea! I always hear boss types talk about team building... what better than beating the *piss* out of the coffee tainter ! - wolfkeeper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It's not completely sterile, you can catch viruses from urine. It's typically largely free of bacteria though.
And I'm not sure about the weirder diseases like Weil's disease. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6I hope this doesn't inspire a copy-cat at my office or I'll have to give into buying $tarbuck$
- tidu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This story made me laugh. There was a guy that used to work at my Wawa (a convenience store) and he was joking with me "You know what would go good with the coffee? Some WANG!" and walked off. D:
- glock22ownr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Did anyone ever think of just asking the guy to *try* the coffee ?!
- davidkain, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@jwyles
What makes you think Starbucks employees don't wee in their brew?
*cue ominous music* - astrotrain, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2** scene panning the rich coffee fields of Columbia **
Announcer: "Each day, Wan Valdez and his donkey head out to the fields, to pick the
finest beans for your coffee..." ** record scratching sound**
Wan (cheech martin voice): "Man I need to take a whiz..." **whizzes on coffee beans**
Announcer: Folgers Coffee... fresh, and rich, and warm from Columbia... - jstem1994, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3So they didn't beat the living $%^& out of him first?
- youngcable, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5"I want to pee on you... I want to pee in your food..."
- wolfkeeper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It could have been a lot worse. It could have been contaminated with thallium, e.g.:

(Thomas Sha-HEEN) - garyh84, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I guess "going postal" has a different meaning now.
- polypropglop, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The employees set up a hidden camera to see what was going on. They were later charged and convicted of a crime and had to pay 1k or so.
- zcreem, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2You're taking the piss, right?
- logomancer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You, sir, win an Internet.

The Sunday Mail, August 2, 1998
Exeter (England) - Police arrested a maintenance engineer for attempted poisoning after he admitted to adding mercury into the kettle at a University coffee-club. The long-time odd-job worker at the University laboratory was apparently annoyed with his colleagues for not including him in their tea-rounds and decided to give his despised colleagues an upset stomach. His plan was foiled when several members of the staff noticed their tea had an antiseptic flavour.
Police Probe Poisoning Case
The New Straits Times, August 14, 1998
Tokyo (Japan) - Police are investigating if the ten workers involved in the recent poisoned tea and coffee incident at their workplace were facing internal inspection by company officials.
The employer of the ten workers said a finance manager from another regional branch of Xyence was due to visit the Niigata branch, when the poisoning happened on the Monday morning. - meznak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Actually, that was Jonathan Shaheen, from Ontari`o Canada`.
http://homestarrunner.com/sbemail155.html - ColdChilli, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The guy has a killer commute.
Springfield Township is in Cincinnati, SE Part of the state, and Akron is in the NE, about a 4 1/2 hour drive. - glock22ownr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Do you have to go #2?
No I have to go postal ...
If anyone needed that spelled out :-) - MrTea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1IMO, that idiot shouldn't have told anybody.
- H2SO4, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRtRDyFZiB0 Pee on you video
- 0v3rk1ll, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1No, Msafi, YOU need to stop spreading *****. The bitch deserved to be burned, I was hoping she'd die. End of story.
- sw0rdfish, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1He didn't... They video taped him doing it. Not reading the article FTL
- msafi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2The old lady didn't receive millions of dollars. She didn't get more than $640,000.
As they say, stop spreading ***** please. - vixiecron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I wonder...would regular coffee ever taste quite right again? Maybe they got used to it having a sort of wang to it.
- chatty82, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This story created a good impresion for the United States that we have "pure food, vetebales, and drinks", which is not always the case.
That is actually what they drink in the samovars in the new Kazakh capital of Astanay. The buildings were built without plumbing and they either get horse urine to use for coffeebreaks or camel urine. There are 2 buildings there with sinks, toliets, and running water.
That is why govts hire anthropologists to see whether tribal activites that they classify as "ethnic" are whoesome and healthy. They also practice "gender discrimination on the workplace" against the women, who are supposed to endure mistreatment wihout being paid.
The new capital of Astanay was built by Albanian construction workers, (who do not ask for pay since they get free "dough-balls" to eat) in the bleak Communist architecture they have in Albania, without plumbing. - 0v3rk1ll, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Well, well, well. Isn't that something? :-/ I'm telling you, that ***** is not gonna be "resolved" like that around here. No Sir. Someone is gonna land in the hospital and it ain't me. A couple of broken bones and teeth will make sure that sucker will NEVER even think of doing something like that again. What a loser.
- ccourt23, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1oh no... thats where i live
- monkeywizard, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Funny thing about it: urine is sterile.
- chodaboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Oh... 'urine'! ... I thought it was just '*****' coffee!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4that skit was from season 1 i believe... your a little late on the times. "I want to pee on you"
- deter1ii, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2I'll pee on you, I'll piss on you, I'll ***** on you,
don't you want R. Kelly's doo-dooooooooo ooooooooo oooooooooo - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Does going POSTAL apply here?
- Rob5246, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Yeah, I saw that. This isn't urinating on people, it's urinating in their coffee. It's still a funny skit though.
