To be really angry my DD took my coffee on a weekend away, without asking?

[AdoreTheBeach]

I’m an early riser. I have sleep issues (wake up and can’t get back to sleep), so I follow a fairly strict sleep hygiene routine. That includes no caffeine after 10am. I also have digestion issues and diverticulitis so I need to be “regular”, which routine includes my morning coffee. I look forward to my lovely huge mug of coffee every morning. This morning, it’s gone. Extra large jar of Dow Egbert coffee is gone. Hard to miss a jar that size. My DD left last night for a weekend away with friends, renting a large self-catering house. Dare I suspect she’s the culprit? If so, AIBU to me REALLY angry with her? (FYI, looked in bin and recycling just in case accidentally broken - not there).

Get a grip! It's irritating I suppose and you would be in the right to pull her up and expect an apology, and I expect you'll get one (as long as you don't go in all guns blazing being REALLY ANGRY) as it was more than likely a mad last-minute rush, but it's not that hard to buy some more is it?

Not being able to have my designated morning coffee would certainly anger me but I would be even more angry at the total lack of respect for me from her to feel she could just take not just SOME of my coffee but ALL of it!!!...totally selfish behaviour in my opinion.. you are def NBU......

If a missing jar of coffee that can easily be replaced by a quick trip to the shops is your main worry right now I'd count yourself very lucky you don't have bigger problems

Peppy and NotaCoolDad and others, especially those going off on a tangent about instant coffee versus filter / pads/ pods and basing whether or not the OP is unreasonable on that, are you deliberately missing the point that caffeine is a medically necessary laxative as far as the OP is concerned? Effectively the OP's DD took her medication! For the OP the time of day is important because of the laxative effect! Of course she could take a medically prescribed laxative instead, but she's elected to use coffee and didn't have another option on hand.

Given the DD was thoughtless rather than malicious and the lack of coffee was likely to cause disruption not actual harm, and especially if the OP could have got herself to a shop and bought more coffee early on Saturday morning instead of MN ing Id say really angry was still an overreaction.

Posting about it and feeling pretty annoyed wasn't though, given her morning coffee is not just a habit but a necessary laxative in her case!

Well I got annoyed when I went to have a chocolate biscuit with my coffee the other week and dp had taken the whole pack to work with him so you have my sympathies OP

Yes there are worse things that can happen but it doesn’t mean we can’t get irritated by minor things too (and quite often the minor things cause more irritation when there are bigger things going on)

Might I suggest you LTB Troika?

Thoughtless coffee theft is one thing (and I would say, that for an instant, Douwe Egberts is not to be sniffed at, despite some comments on here - and you get a vair' naice jar to Fill With Stuff), but CHOCOLATE BISCUIT THEFT is BEYOND THE PALE!
