" I want the hand - ground coffee from downstairs . Be a dear and go get it for me ." " Sure , I'll go now . " It was pouring rain outside , and that quick trip soaked my pants from the knees down . She took a sip , then promptly poured the coffee all over me . " I said hand - ground , didn't I ? Are you deaf ?!

" Are you kidding me ?! Only two interns started today . If it's not Miss Ashley , then who is it ? You , some broke nobody who rides public bikes ?! " So that was it .
