Sister went nuts over a cup of coffee

You’d lose your temper and they’d be wearing the contents? Wow, how strangely aggressive. So you’d lose your temper to a friend, a colleague? Or just a family member because you know outside of that you would look unhinged? Do you have many friends?

She is bizarre.

They’re my favourite type of cup, I love a wide brimmed cup 😁 (sorry just realised he’s your late OH).

I guess you're right. If filling a cup of coffee to the top stops her from behaving like an extra from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" then that's obviously the way to go. I'd say she probably needs to get out more or even better, seek help. But you obviously don't find it remotely unhinged. Interesting.

Depends how often you've handed me a half-full cup of coffee despite me reminding you every single time.

I'd give up long before that point and just say no to your offer of half a cup of coffee, but in a hypothetical situation where refusal isn't an option, then yes, eventually I'd lose my temper and you'd likely end up wearing your half cup of coffee.

My dad used to laugh and say ‘I see the tide’s gone out’. No sane adult behaves, or defends, how this woman behaves, dancing around and screaming in OP’s face.

Or tell them to make their own coffee! My late OH loathed the wider than deep coffee cups often used in cafes etc and when ordering we asked for it not too be filled too near the top.

One Post Wonders.

Let’s see, it’s still early…

Yeah, that bitch would not be visiting my house 3 x a week.

I make it about 1cm below the rim. If I had a sister, and she didn't think the mug were filled enough, I'd say "pop.a drop more water in, but not too much otherwise it will spill".

If the sister than behaved in a bullying way and shouted in my face, she wouldn't come again. The DH shouldn't have joined in.

This thread makes me pleased to be an only child.

Her sister is 42 not a child, her behaviour is extremely odd regardless of how much coffee is or isn’t in the cup. Would you behave the same way?

It sounds like OP’s sister is so desperate for a free cup of coffee that she is going around to OP’s three times a week. Plus shouting and jumping because she is missing 10ml of liquid in her cup of coffee. 🙄

No one is forcing the sister to go around.

Thankfully OP has had enough and won’t be having this ungrateful twat around anymore.

Haha. My parents love a half filled cup. Cos they’re in their 70s and not always so stable in their feet. And I always jokingly ask what happened to the other half if they make it. I always fill it right to the top. Usually 1mm. Slurp the first cm before I leave the kitchen so I don’t spill. Then take the rest to where ever I’m going to drink it. If someone makes me a cup I’d expect to 0.5-1cm from the top for sure.

.

Yet another thread where the Op posts about a highly implausible scenario then disappears. Boring at this stage.

I don't get the not filling it to the top. I always do. But even then when I have anyone over I always bring cups and the coffe and let people pour for themselves because I find everyone likes their tea and coffee a specific way and I just provide everything you need to make your perfect brew to enjoy. I find doing it for others stressful.

However can't she just have more coffee once she finishes her cup? Bit dramatic to be so ott over it

Aye, and if OP fills her cup properly for once then there will be no histrionics and everyone is happy.

Your sister sounds deranged, I’d be embarrassed for her. Whose DH was also being weird, hers or yours? If yours I’d be asking him if he feels unwell in himself. I’d not be making drinks for either of them ever again!

@XDownwiththissortofthingX "To continually give someone an underfilled cup when they've repeatedly explained why they don't like that is just deliberately being disrespectful."

Oh come on, please, come on. "Deliberately disrespectful" - what about the sister's display of utter lunacy? Nobody in their right fucking minds dances around like a madwoman and screams in someone's face over a not quite full cup of coffee. Her behaviour was deranged.

It absolutely is. Being a good host is about listening to your guests, not ignoring them.

defend the indefensible

Dearie me 😂

This isn't the Nuremberg Trials, it's about someone repeatedly stating a coffee preference and repeatedly being ignored.

You are not owed a coffee as a guest, nobody is

Of course not, but if you are repeatedly offering the least you can do is listen to the preference of the person you are offering to. If OP preferred black coffee and OP's sis continually put milk in it every single time despite being constantly reminded, would the "STFU and drink it" thing still apply? No, it would not.

Wtf is this whole thread? Some right weirdos. I mean I love coffee, but this is bonkers. Are you all drinking mugs full of instant coffee and therefore riled as you have to boil the kettle again? Surely with decent coffee from a cafetière or whatever in proper cups it’s irrelevant whether it’s 2/3rds full?

She's dancing around and yelling and lunging at you over not filling her coffee cup to suit her? Lunging is a precursor to violence in my world.

Does she have mental health issues?

She's weird AF and so is your husband for joining in. Never make that bitch anything again. I wouldn't have her in the house, something's really wrong there. Husband, there's something deeply off there too.

I fill my mugs about 3/4" from the top.

Why does she not drink it in the kitchen, then you don't have to carry it through?
