Got A Sinking Feeling About This

Me: “Hi [coworker], I lost my keys. Could you take this mop bucket and dump it in the sink in the cleaning cupboard for me, please? I want to go see if [other coworker] picked mine up by mistake.”

Coworker: “What do you want me to do with it?”

Me: “Dump it in the sink in the cleaning cupboard.”

Coworker: “Where do you want me to pour it?”

Me: “In the sink in the cleaning cupboard in the toilets.”

Coworker: “You want me to pour it down the toilet?”

Me: “No, the sink in the cleaning cupboard BEHIND the toilets.”

Coworker: “Oh, okay! I’ll pour it down the toilet sinks.”

Me: “…No, the sink in the cleaning cupboard.”

Coworker: “Which cupboard?”

Me: “The one in the back of the toilets!”

Coworker: “Oh, okay! The sink in the cleaning cupboard at the back of the toilets!”

Me: “YES!”

(Five seconds later…)

Coworker: “What did you want me to do again?”
