What do you make of this claim on coffee breaks by Y/A staff?

Question

Take a look at their excuse:

I believe the "glitches" as they claim, are actually caused by spilled coffee on the wires.

How many of you think so? Or can there be other reasons?

Answer 1

They take so many coffee breaks; they must have bladders of steel.

Answer 2

Sometimes you have to do maintenance work. That's just the business.

Answer 3

Yesterday, when I attempted to answer a question with a long answer, Y/A kept giving me the coffee break message. This happened four or five times with this answer until, I shortened the answer. When I shortened the answer it was accepted. Strange that this has happened before.  It seems Y/A does not like long answers and may have a word limit on answers.

Answer 4

all I know is that for several weeks I cannot receive any message sent via Y/A and that includes emails from other users, notices for answers to questions, notices for B/A, violations, etc.  Its quite annoying and I do not see what is taking so long.  

Answer 5

They are the only website I know that has to shut down in the middle of the day with their cheesy "coffee break" line. It is very frustrating.

Answer 6

I think the person making these things up is a cheesy nerd trying to be funny...  

Answer 7

i mean, how many coffee breaks do they really need?

i think they laso eat chocolate and ice cream in the so-called coffee breaks..lolz

Answer 8

Ya,

They might be hungry & tired of our long long Question & Answers so they need to some lunch break!

Y/A! Go on...........

Answer 9
