I do NOT like when a visitor drinks from my coffee cup.

As a kid, I got mad at my mum for serving a visitor tea in my teacup.

My mum asked me why I did not like it, and I said,
"I do not want a stranger to drink from my tea cup because I don't know where their mouths have been."

My mother was not amused and I got a good spanking for being rude.

Now, when I see my husband serve visitors coffee in my coffee cup, I feel betrayed, but I do not tell him because he will tell the visitors and embarrass me.😂

Lol you don't say!!😂

Maybe you can keep your cup somewhere where he can't find it.

Haha! If hubby is the one making coffee for a visitor, I might refuse a coffee and quickly grab my cup and hide it.
It's hilarious to watch him looking for my cup in the cupboard. After he serves the visitor in another cup, I'll sneakily place my cup back in the cupboard. Then I might say, I change my mind, I'll have a coffee... reach for my cup... and he'll say, "I was looking for that". ... and I reply, "Oh, were you?" 😂 🤣

Our cups are like our underwear, it is something exclusive to you, it is not shared, not even with the person who sleeps with you 😁
Since I was little I didn't have a cup, I felt bad that visitors were served in our cups, we were many families together, I didn't really like drinking from a cup every day, to do so I had to wash the cup myself🤭

Well said!💯

To do so I had to wash the cup myself🤭

Haha! My mum insisted on serving visitors from "my cup" so I would volunteer to wash the cup when visitors left.
Everyone in my family ridiculed me because I spent about half an hour washing the cup, pouting my mouth, and grumbling about catching germs from strangers.
My family thought that I was 'possessed' by the devil.🤣

Memories that we never forget, we keep them in mind and when we have the opportunity, we bring them out. Poor us, they didn't understand us 🥲

That answer to your mom was spot on 😂.

My house has separate cups for visitors. My husband doesn't use my mug for fear of breaking it, he is sometimes a bit clumsy 😄 so no problem with someone using my favorite mug ☕.

As a kid, I thought that's how it should be. I try to apply that now, but I have limited space.

I bet your husband would hate it if he broke yours, and it's amazing how differently people feel about their coffee cups:)))

My husband has a very lax tongue too, to make me look bad totally on purpose when it comes to this "nonsense" of mine--"nonsense" 😒--It's something that amuses him. So I hold my tongue when visitors are present.

About that teacup, my mother had the same attitude. She wouldn't let me have "my own" things. Everything was everyone's in my house; we "had to share" Damn it! 😂

They just don't get it that it "a crime" not nonsense 😂

Yeah, my mother was shocked to hear me say the teacup was mine 🤣

We were six children at home! "Share" was like "nothing here is actually yours" 😑 Anyway, we grow up and get to have things that are actually all yours. Then husband happens 🤣

I have always thought, @marlyncabrera, that individual, personal things are very important, not everything can be collective.
As for whether or not to lend coffee cups, that is also very personal and only a person who is initiated into coffee rituals understands it.

Totally. I understand that sharing is healthy because it makes us aware; it's a fact that we cannot value the generosity that others have with us if we ourselves are not generous. This is just as true as the fact that true coffee drinkers can be misunderstood by people who don't drink coffee or are just occasional drinkers. The "this is my cup" thing is an old habit for a reason 👵

🤣🤣 You shouldn't be embarrassed, just tell him outside of visits. You saw the fights with my husband 🤣. But it's only temporary because after a while he does it again 😜.

Haha! Hubby will find it funny and tell for entertainment. I should tell him though 😆

Wow, we really don't know where people come from or what they've been doing, you're right to be concerned. It's a question of health.🤭

You made me smile with your comment.

I leave you a delicious cup of coffee for this day.☕

Enjoy!

Kids always tell the truth and they never regret. That’s why they are so pure. Maybe more people should be like them…😁

I also don’t like people to drink of my precious coffee cups, because they have some added value… all of them. If I had an ordinary set of coffee cups and they were also my regular everyday cups, there would not be a problem at all when someone drinks from them. I just love my Japanese porcelain and want to keep it safe and intact. 🤷🏻

Yes, I think we would have less problems if we just spoke our minds freely 😆

Your Japanese porcelain is gorgeous, so I understand that.
Imagine if they accidentally broke it?😅

If they accidentally break my Japanese porcelain, that will be their last day to live in this house. 😂

Just kidding of course… I will try to find a way to live my life without the porcelain, I guess… 🤷🏻

It's a very funny story 🤭.... But valid your point.
In my family we are all possessive (Blessing / curse? I don't know 😅) but I remember one morning I was late for school, my mom served equal breakfasts for my 2 sisters and mine, I sat down to breakfast running. That frothy and delicious latte with arepas. When I realized I was in my younger sister's seat, with her plate and cup 🫣. My sister stormed out of the house and preferred not to eat breakfast that day 😮‍💨.

My mother divided the breakfast among the others. Then she made us promise to respect each other's cups and things. Since that day I have the habit of drinking coffee only in my cup. 😅☕
