Back in the days when I worked at a photo lab I was the guy that always got there early, made the coffee, and sorted my projects for the day and drank my coffee in peace. One day as I pulled into our parking lot I saw water gushing up under the street in front of our building. I knew that was not a real good sign.
As I was unlocking the doors a city employee followed in behind me to inform me they were about to shut off the water to fix the water main. I pleaded with him to give me 60 seconds to make coffee. He walked slowly back to the site foreman and I made a batch of coffee and seconds later the water was done.
With light sensitive materials the film or paper has to be processes, and washed with clean running water. The owner came in at 8:40 and saw all the employees in the kitchen laughing and talking. He was pissed, but I stopped his rant with the news there is no water. He said, OK if we can't do production we will clean this place top to bottom and I replied "clean with what" and he was deflated. He was even more pissed when he saw no coffee, and a dirty pot in the sink. We all went home and he stayed to answer the phone and work the front counter.
The water was fixed late that afternoon.
