Sluuurp. The noise made Gretchen cringe. Every morning Chaz slurped his coffee in a way that said, "I know this annoys you, and I enjoy it." Well Gretchen had had enough. She stomped to the next row over, grabbed Chaz's mug, and dumped it on his head. He spun around startled, and gasped "Gretchen! What the heck!"
Gretchen stood there with her arms crossed and explained "I, and the rest of this office, have had enough of your slurping. Please, for the love of God, drink like a normal person!"
Chaz blinked in surprise, and then asked "Gretchen, what slurping?"
"Oh, don't act like you don't know. We can hear you from the hallway. Every morning!"
Before Chaz could respond, a loud Sluuurp sound came from Gretchen's desk. Gretchen's eyes went wide, and she rushed over to her desk, where she realized the slurp sound had come from her oscillating fan blowing across her water cup, changing the pressure in the straw as it did, and thus causing a slurping sound. This whole time she thought it was Chaz slurping his coffee.
"Chaz, I'm so sorry! It's my fan causing the slurping sound. I thought it was you this whole time!"
Chaz chuckled "No worries, Gretchen, this isn't the first time I've had coffee dumped on my head!"
Gretchen thanked Chaz for his understanding, then returned to her desk and moved her cup away from the fan. She returned to her work, content knowing the cause of the slurping had been discovered.
A minute later she heard Sluuurp again. She checked her cup, and her fan, and then realized the Sluuurp was followed by snickering. Chaz... Gretchen thought, gripping her pencil so hard it snapped. The snickering increased to chuckles at the sound of the pencil snapping. Gretchen let it be for the time being and began plotting her revenge.
