# That Person By:: [[Ross Jackson]] 2023-12-05 In an office, there is always “that person.” That person is most observable in communal areas of the office. If there is a water cooler, that person will drink from it freely until there is just a little water left and not take it, so the responsibility of changing the water bottle is avoided. If there is a communal coffee maker, that person will drink cup after cup until the last cup and avoid taking it, so a new pot won’t have to be made. That person will ignore the empty paper notification on the copier. In short, that person is a free rider who benefits from the community but makes no contribution to it. Don’t be that person. #### Related Items [[Community]] [[Work]] [[Contribution]]
