How long would it take to cut through a wooden shelf using a plastic knife anyway?
First.

awesome dude.
keep doing your great job.
Works for me.
coffee machine FTW

LOL. Why is there that little thing sticking out of the top of the adult? Is it a deformity or a sign of growth?
This one is actually well done!
ah, i love it when people have their priorities straight.
Look, they even painted the edges around the cut-out! Much easier than having to drag the whole machine out to fill it. I’m guessing they don’t have any counter space available. It looks like a workshop more than a kitchen.
They could have enlarged the picture first and then just placed the coffee pot without having to make a cutout.
But then the machine would be all pixelated.
No, silly. They enlarge the picture without the machine. Otherwise the machine still doesn’t fit. Besides, why does it matter that the machine is pixelated, don’t you like that grainy taste in your coffee?
I’ll have a venti pixellated double double, please
Wonder how long it took to make that cut-out with that little knife? Or is that for scraping the residue out of the cups before you put them back on the shelf?
could had just removed that one shelf…
I wonder why they didn’t just remove the shelf.
That would be an even more boring kludge.
Sorry, I should have saved that comment for a more appropriate kludge.
OK, I got one. Why did the coffee maker go through the shelf?
Give up?
This is the first picture I haven’t facepalmed on. That is actually “smart” and well done.
If I hadn’t found one that didn’t need to be moved to put the water and coffee in, I think I’d be heading into the kitchen to do something like this right now for my own coffee maker. Since that small annoyance in life has been worked out, though, I now drink way too much coffee.
Hey, is that a dead mouse on the floor in the corner of this picture?
No, that’s not the floor, that’s the counter. Why would he keep his dead mouse on the floor?
Whew! Thanks for that. *Obviously* I need to see this in the context of the room as a whole. Haha, dead mouse on the FLOOR! Silly me!
Plain Dumb. I can’t imagine crouching to the floor (next to the dead mouse?) to pour a cup of coffee. If they moved the jar of peanut butter and salt shaker to the lower shelf, then there would be enough room for the coffeemaker on the top shelf.
Looks like a toilet.
Well, now you know what his coffee tastes like.
Whoever’s brain this idea percolated in probably didn’t realize that destroying company property is grounds for termination.
good one dono 8)
Oh…so THAT explains why 80% of the shop’s workforce is at home recuperating from either lower back pain or food poisoning!
Since both shelves time out perfectly with the top of the coffee machines, I’m going to hazard that the shelves *were* actually removed, cut, and re-installed at the precise height of the machines. With just enough space for the filling containers to the left.
What’s scary OC about this is the two plastic knives on each shelf, both at the same distance from the coffee and with identical slight overhang.
It’s two pictures of the same thing, one of which is a closer shot and from a slightly different angle. In other words, just one plastic knife. It’s a diving board for the mice.
It took me a second look to figure out it was two pictures. My first thought was “why didn’t they put the small coffee pot on the taller shelf? It is like they wanted to cut holes on those shelves”.
Only problem would be after enough time of using it has elapsed, wouldn’t it start peeling the paint/damaging the wood of the shelf above it?
I’m ready to see the repair kludge when the coffee makers die. I don’t think they make those models anymore.
Just another situation which is easily remedied with a chainsaw.
The house will be abandoned before the coffee maker can die. The mice are already taking over, you see.
This kludge isn’t a shelf altered so the coffee pot will fit…it’s a coffee pot holding the shelf up!
‘Puny shelf not stop me from coffee!’
