Murder is a Crime, Cup Rings are Not

Blogged under sarah-ness on Tuesday 23 February 2010 at 1:00 am

I’ve had a few contractors in and out of my house over the past few days bidding on replacing the bathtub. One particular contractor walked out of the bathroom and handed me three empty coffee mugs with a disgusted look on his face.

I was livid. How dare he come in my house and judge me? That’s what I have family for.

I’m unsure if it was the coffee that bothered him, or the fact I was drinking it in the bathroom.

“Oh, thanks. I forgot to put that away this morning.”

“Um, there are three.”

I love when people impress me with their counting skills. I felt like I should justify my morning routine, but held back. I also suppressed my urge to smash one of the mugs and use the shards to cut his throat.

Seriously though, it’s not that gross that I drink coffee in the bathroom. Sure, sometimes the mugs leave weird looking cup rings on the back of my toilet, and tub, but it’s not like I sit on the toilet every morning while eating a bowl of cereal.

Actually…

How much time would eating breakfast while peeing save? Five minutes? Ten minutes? I could hit the snooze button one more time.

Or I could stop eating breakfast altogether.

With the money saved on food, I could hire a maid to clean up the mugs, or spend the money on supplies to mainline the coffee. Either option would make me happy, and likely keep the next contractor alive.

Every time you share me I won't punch a kitten!

    Well I eat ice cream or drink wine when I take bubble-baths, he’d probably think I was a HORRIBLE person:)

    I mean, now that I’m thinking about it, I sip coffee when I’m putting on makeup too! And there are cups in my bathroom ALL THE TIME! HOW DARE HE JUDGE US!

    In my office we periodically have the staunch Mormon loudly declare how disgusting the smell of coffee is. We just ignore his passive/aggressive complaints and sip our coffee.

    You haven’t lived until you drink a beer while in the shower.

    Actually? I’m thinking of putting a coffee maker in the bathroom…
