muttering "don't talk to me till i've had my coffee" like mantra to yourself while you make yourself a cup of joe in the office breakroom
1. Muttered softly so as not to distract or startle coworkers with perceived aggresion 2. "Don't talk to me till I've had my coffee" clearly states workspace boundaries with humor & casual, relatable firmness. " 3. Constant repetition to emphasize importance of not talking to you until you've had your coffee while also making it impossible for coworkers to get a word in edgewise. If done properly, you should be able to get from popping the coffee into the kuerig to drinking it without anyone able to say anything to you. Be sure to make a lot of eye contact with whoever is in the breakroom during this ritual-- this communicates respect & confidence. If there is no one in the breakroom at all, go ahead and mutter "don't talk to me till I've had my coffee" to yourself. It's good practice and if anyone overhears you, they'll be sure to take you a lot more seriously.

Coffee
I used to think the whole “ don’t talk to me before I’ve had my coffee“ thing was just another one of those white people sayings like “ live laugh love“. After drinking coffee for about a year, I understand where that comes from. If someone were to ask me to do something before I have my coffee time, I may stab them ( with insults ofc). Once I have my coffee time, all is well and I may be approached. it’s the little things you gotta appreciate in life.

Don’t talk to me until I’ve had my coffee
I actually hate moka pot coffee but I got this super cutie one because I got a good deal on it and it's the most cost effective/simplest coffee-making solution to keep me from teetering over the edge of insanity so it is what it is
