She’s been drinking a mug of black coffee with me in the mornings occasionally. I have a drip maker that I put 4 teaspoons Maxwell House in. Nothing beyond that.

I got this message around 11AM. We drank the coffee around 715-730.

I get that I wasn’t exactly the most sensitive I could have been, but I’m a rural mail carrier. I had to respond while stopped at a mailbox and we are GPS tracked. I get in trouble if I spend too much time stopped.

    Nah, definitely NTA. A little dismissive, and definitely seems like they expected sympathy, but by making accusations against you over “what the crap you do with that coffee”, it sets you up to be in a defensive position to reply.

    I guess be a little more mindful to only give sympathy and not an explanation in the future, and they need to learn to chill a bit.
