Sister went nuts over a cup of coffee

[CrashBambiCoot]

my sister visits my house around 3 times a week. Every time she comes she takes the piss out of my coffee calling it “half a cup of coffee” etc

She last visited Friday where I made her a coffee and she snapped “oh come on, fill it up for fucks sake” saying I’d only half filled the mug (I hadn’t).

This morning she turns up. I make coffee, as I was taking it into the living room she looks into the mugs and screams “half a cup of coffee”. I snap back “I don’t fill it to the top so it doesn’t get spilled! Nobody fills coffee right to the top” so she started dancing around me acting crazy shouting “ooo don’t spill it” etc before suddenly lunging at me and shouting in my face - coffee got spilt.

Now I’ve said I’m not making her coffee anymore. That’s it. Sick of the piss taking and ranting and raving. DH witnessed all this and basically joined in with her. She’s 42, DH is 50.

its not normal to fill coffee right to the top is it??? And the hysterics is certainly not normal is it?

They are pretty strong so I don't need much in terms of volume. Quality over quantity, any time!

It’s an espresso.

But tipping it out when you’ve made it is really odd. Can you not just tell her you want it stronger? Seems very aggressive of her to sweep in and tip most out.

What a rude and horrible person.
Don't make her a drink , don't invite her round , what a cow.

Because I don't want two underfilled cups, I want one proper cup.

She doesn't sound quite right in the head..And she sounds like a bully

Your sister sounds mentally ill

I expect this is hyperbole from the OP. 'Screaming in her face' sounds unlikely behaviour from an adult

Op obviously makes ridiculously small coffees. This must be the case or her sister, who has commented repeatedly about wanting a properly full cup, and her own husband wouldn't have been united on this.

We need a photo. I’ve seen some shit half cups in my time

what would be the difference?

I'm assuming that before today she had a history of spilling coffee if the cup was full so that's why you don't fill it?

I wouldn't have thought a full cup means to the brim though?

This.

Love your username by the way 🙂
"He was a simple ostrich" .

I fill coffee to the top! Largely because I’m not a child

I wouldn't be having her back in my house and I'd be taking a good, hard look at my marriage and whether he's the man you want to spend the rest of your life with.

People pontificating over the amount of coffee are missing the point. Even if the cup was half filled, it is completely insane to react the way the OP’s sister did. This isn’t about the coffee - I guarantee this dysregulated behaviour occurs in other situations too. She’s out of order and I would be meeting her in public places from now on, where she can pay for her coffee!

A properly full cup is a totally different experience to a half-full cup.

Proper strong coffee is best when it's hot, and you can drink it at a higher temperature if it's filled to the max because when it's only partly full you need to leave it to cool to a lower temperature due to having to take larger sips.

I drink tea and coffee black, so this does make a difference to temperature, and there is no reason whatsoever to leave a black coffee 3/4s full.

Just relax, all seems a bit OTT about the volume of coffee in your cup, just be grateful that someone made you it. If you can’t do that have water and make coffee when you get home

She sounds like an idiot and your husband isn't much better. Why are you allowing this? I would go further than refusing to make her coffee, I wouldn't have her in my home at all. Three times a week is a lot anyway, but she clearly doesn't appreciate you. Doesn't she have family, friends or work to keep her busy?

When you’re in someone’s house as a guest, you accept the coffee with grace and say thank you.

Even a child knows this,

And this behaviour is worse than a cup of coffee not filled to the brim.

At least your cup is half full and not half empty 🙂

i doi do the same as you op but thats not the point-its your house and shes a guest and your dh can fuck off aswell

My mum used to make half cups of coffee, it used to drive me nuts. I used to tell her I’d need a ladder to get to the top of that mug, it was a running joke in our house… I’d give anything now for that half cup of coffee lol

anyway op your sister is rude and so is your husband, wouldn’t be making them any drinks going forward!

If you have guests, it's just decent and courtesy to make them a full cup of coffee and not some half-arsed 3/4s full effort.

Fine the first time, you say thankyou and turn a blind eye, then refuse the next time they offer.

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