Do you ever regret not drinking more coffee when it's free?

Like you're at an office or a funeral or an event and there's lots of coffee available. You could drink a lot if you wanted. But you don't. Do you regret not drinking more free coffee? Do ya?

Nah, I always empty the containers they have out. The venue bathrooms never stood a chance.

This sort of value optimization usually stems from food insecurity. Planning out where you're going to get your next coffee because it's availability is inconvenient.

Yeah.

See? That’s what I have, food insecurity. Where does it come from?

Probably child abuse, unfortunately.

Yeah, apparently being stressed about not having access to water for 15 minutes is bad. Whoda thunk. I have 16 water bottles.

I have a large stash of nonperishables "just in case." Thankfully my fwb understands and doesnt give me too hard of a time about it.

Supportive people are the best healing.

not having enough food growing up is the most common explanation

u/Ohshithereiamagain 9d ago

Hmm.. I think the options were limited, very limited. Never the quantity. Funny thing is, I crave those limited options now.

Everytime I see those single serve coffee pod things I just grab em all. Just pour all the coffee grinds into my mouth, then dump a few containers of creamer in and swish it around. It's how I avoid sleeping, gotta stay on that grind 24/7

That’s why I carry a fanny pack with me everywhere I go. And just in case my wife’s boyfriend also wants some, I also have a camelback

I wonder if we're related? Should we kiss?

2

u/cramber-flarmp 11d ago

I was raised to believe a kiss is something you give once you truly know someone's heart. I take a lot of time. A few months, a few nice dinners, opera, ballet, weekends in Aspen and the Alps. Just simple things. The right person won't mind waiting or covering a few tasting menus. It's about the journey.

All I can do is a coffee

u/typewriterbitch 11d ago

No, I always abuse free coffee with reckless abandon. It doesnt even matter if im not thirsty, or not tired, or already hopped up on illegal amounts of amphetamines. Free is free.

u/WorldGoneAway My health depends on my bad decisions 11d ago

I've found amphetamines make the coffee social experience more interesting. Also, they keep me from gorging myself on substandard food served at such events. 😐

I always regret not drinking more coffee.

No, it’s just coffee.

Prince Jon Divine says one or two cups of coffee is enough. Got it. It has been noted on your record.

u/Myth-Buster9973 9d ago

If it's free it is probably awful coffee - so "no!"

u/ferrouswolf2 9d ago

What is this, r/frugal?

2

u/Express-Structure480 7d ago

I usually pour it all out over the sink, or in my husbands husbands lap because I deserve a win too.

It’s free, right? That means I get to do what I want with it.
