Who has the most cups on their desk?

– Reddit user phyphor

It’s 10 AM at Reddit HQ, Thursday, Dec. 31: New Year’s Eve 2015. Your bravest and loneliest of Admins (me, I’m talking about myself) is sitting quietly, alone in the Reddit office.

I write to you from my desk, in silence and near darkness, save from the tapping of my keyboard and the glare from my computer screen. I’m cold and a bit nervous, as noises from the refrigerator down the hallway have me worried that someone will see me sitting here in my pajamas. My bright and thoughtful colleagues who pre-planned vacation on this day are out enjoying life, during this deserving wintery break, while I lament the fact that I have nobody to play Tiki Toss with.

And as I debate which question to answer this week, I look over to Reddit user Piepiemydarling’s desk, and notice a half full cup of water just sitting there, lonely (just like me!) Like a frozen lake that’s been left to willow away, forgotten by the wintery season—it hits me: I’m going to take pictures of all the cups my co-workers have left on their desk over the holiday weekend. You abominable cup monsters.

So, as mentioned, Piepiemydarling has one glass. I now present to you said cup. Not too egregious:

User Powerlanguage has a cup, and some teabag in a mason jar. Leave it to the Englishman to be the one with leftover tea remnants on his desk.

Your Reddit co-creator Kn0thing with his signature green water bottler. Not a cup, but always on his desk.

Super engineer rrmckinley has two cups on his desk (and an avocado), and I must admit, they are very stylish.

Then we come to Drunken_Economist who, in his “the-gift-that-keeps-on-giving” fashion, does not have many cups on his desk, but instead, an freakin’ collection of used Juice Shop bottles building up. True to form, it’s the shitpost of cup collecting.

JuhJJ, cups:

And I’d be remiss if I didn’t bust myself out for desk cupping it a bit, too, (all right, that sounds really disturbing), so I’ll show you my collection. I’ve got one Chewbacca cup, which I use regularly, and of course my Admin cup that is not used for drinking, but instead, is the home of Andre the Giant.

So in the end, who has the most cups on their desk? Technically, I don’t think we’re as bad as I originally thought we were. We’re animals, but not savages. One cup of water on a desk never hurt anyone, but hear me now: This I vow and promise you Ask an Admin readers, if I ever catch anyone with multiple cups of juice, coffee, or Snoo forbid, multiple cans of Surge on their desk I assure you that I will call them out immediately, and proclaim them the most barbaric Admin in all of the office.
