coffee runs
Office beverage trips
A coffee run is a trip to get coffee, typically for a group.
In workplaces, someone volunteers or is dispatched to fetch drinks for colleagues: I'm making a coffee run—anyone want anything?
The phrase extends to any quick errand for beverages or food: donut run, lunch run.
To have the coffee runs, playing on the phrase, means to have diarrhea from too much coffee.
