To be slightly horrified about in laws reheating pots of tea the next day?

[QuietlyAghast]

We've joined my in laws for a few days at their holiday cottage. We normally meet up with them for meals or days out instead of going to stay, so this is a first. We had a lovely cup of tea on arrival last night, and all was well. This morning we all came down for breakfast around the same time. FIL asks who'd like a cup of tea, and I gratefully accept. He then proceeds to go to the pantry cupboard and retrieve LAST NIGHT'S pot of tea, which apparently hadn't been finished and had therefore been stored in the cupboard. He pours some into a mug, puts it in the microwave and hands me a mug of reheated day-old tea! AIBU to be ?
DP thinks this is perfectly normal, and cannot understand why I would want a fresh cup of tea when there is a perfectly good used one going to waste...

No. Just no.

I'm sure there's nothing wrong with it in the sense that it won't hurt you.

But I'd think that's icky and weird.

No, no, no!

Screams and runs away

Bleurgh. No thanks pal.

Just no. It's not like tea is expensive 🙈

Talk about cheap.

(no doubt they are squillionaires)

RUN!

Any Premier Inn/Travelodge will have several teabags and a kettle handy.

What??

Does your DP also do this then?

I would have asked if they're rationing for the war. Yuck.

Ye gads! It would be stewed beyond recognition. There couldn't be a worse start to the day. I hate your FIL.

Noo just no
It would taste awful

DP has never done this in the ten years we've known each other, but turns out to NOT THINK IT IS WEIRD

That's crazy.

I liked my tea stewed but that's taking it a bit far.

Wow

I used to have a friend who's DP didn't like tea but he thought one cup tea bags were too expensive. He used to make her buy ordinary tea bags but leave the used tea bag on the side for her to make a second cup with later.

What?!

I mean? What?!

I don't think it's a money-saving thing. PIL are perfectly comfortable financially, and always very generous about meals and presents etc.
They are even good cooks! I really did not see this coming. (Sobs quietly)

Surely it was bitter? Just yuk! If dh even so much as reboils the kettle I make him empty it and boil fresh water!

Ugh, just no!

How bizarre. YANBU.

A friend of a friend once tried to persuade me to have her two day old leftover takeaway pizza as my dinner. No thanks!

This kind of tightness really annoys me!! Since they have a holiday cottage I assume they are well off? Why put yourself through horrible tea for the sake of a couple of fresh teabags that costs pennies?!

What did you do op, did you drink the tea? Or pour it down the sink and stick the kettle on?!

I wouldn't do that to tea and I'm not even a tea drinker. I must taste foul.

Hell no
😲

Mind boggles what else gets reused tbh. .

I do it with coffee... I brew a big pot, then reheat it as I need it.
