The stupid coffee machine is broken [Minor Annoyances]

This is not a blog thread; this is a bitch about minor annoyances thread. I don't want to hear about your feelings; I want to hear stories about shit going wrong that isn't a big deal, but is still annoying.
I got to work this morning, and began my morning ritual, which consists of plugging in my laptop to the wall and thenetwork, hitting the power button, and going to get myself a cup of coffee while it boots up.
Only, there was a small crowd around the coffee maker. Now, it's one of those Kuerig single serving dealies, so that's not all that uncommon. We got a new delivery of coffee cups for it yesterday, after having been down to just hazlenut (shudder) so I figured that they were revelling in the freedom of options. Turns out, though that the machine was stuck displaying "Not Ready", and nothing was making it go. The specific thing it didn't seem to be doing was heating water, which is a key function in its process before it displays "Ready".
So, our office Admin has been on the phone with the company, since its still under warranty. Luckily enough, one of my coworkers bought me a cup of coffee at the overpriced buffet place downstairs (a few of us went down, but he was paying for everyone) so I still have my fix, and the fridge is stocked with sodas (we keep a fridge stocked with beverages and a closet full of snacks. I love my office.) if I REALLY need a caffeinne fix later, but it's still kind of a piss-off.
So, what minor annoyances have you had to deal with today/lately?

Looks like the "whining" forum needed a few more weeks to work.
What the fuck is wrong with these people, do they wake up in the morning, sniff their pits and go "Ohh, that smells teriffic. Eau du Rank, I'm sure my colleagues will love it".
What part of "minor" don't you understand?
:P
This is specifically a thread for things that don't matter.
