'I saw red, but then I had an idea': Woman engineer punishes her coworkers by agreeing to "get coffee" for them

If you do something badly enough, you might not get asked to do it again. In the workplace, you've got to do this strategically. You want to mess up some basic chores in order to get out of them, but you also don't want to be viewed as being bad at your job. 

This is common in many workplaces. Even though we all do dishes every day, in the office, everyone conveniently "forgets" how to load the dishwasher. Other people will pretend they can't figure out how to work the printer, and someone else will just have to load in new paper or ink. If you don't have enough interns, someone is going to get stuck doing the office dirty work. 

This woman, u/CatfancyBunnyMom, had an additional hurdle at her job in the early 1980s. It was a different time, and the workplace functioned in a vastly different manner. Upon gaining a new engineering job, she realized that her boss and coworkers didn't take kindly to new engineers. They also, in her words, "hated women in the workplace." They were soon trying to get her down, but she didn't let them. Her results were fabulous, and you can check them all out below.
