I was once working in a closed environment - a cruise ship with 8 staff. "Tea for Two" was our accursed tormentor. As soon as you thought you had it beat, and had managed to go, say, 24 hours without being plagued, a less fortunate colleague would pass by inadvertently whistling the tune, and there you were stuck again.
