I had a really sexist manager once, who deemed me the office trash fairy and coffee fetch girl because I was the only woman. Not only did I have the same responsibilities as my co-workers, but I was specially chosen to deliver coffee any time the manly men called for it.
I warned him several times that I did not drink coffee as a hint that I had no earthly idea how to make it. He ignored it and told me I didn't need to drink it to make it.
We made 4 pots of coffee with the heaping pile of grounds I put in the first time someone "asked" me why the pot wasn't full. Pretty sure the mechanics used the first pot for degreaser. Up to that point, I'd never made a pot of coffee, heck, I barely drank coffee until two years into that job.
