s/o Coffee smells very, very bad

[Anonymous]

Do you have any kids?

I didn't get on the coffee wagon til I had my DS when I was 35.
I never needed the boast when I was younger. But it really does help me get going in the mornings.

In college I dreaded coffee shop study groups. I always went and didn't complain but silently I wished we could meet someone where else. Sometimes I would suggest an alternate location but I understood why the rest of the coffee loving world thought it was a convenient meeting spot.

Don't get me wrong. I am not a health nut or a goody-two shoes. I eat sugar and will drink on occasion, I just never found coffee appealing.
When I tell people I never had a cup of coffee in my 40 years they are always surprised. I don't go into the whole I hate the smell of it thing, I just accept the coffee date and order tea.

FWIW my father did drink coffee when I was growing up but my mother didn't start drinking it until she was older (maybe close to the age I am now). We never had a coffee maker at home (parents still don't now) but everyone else in my family does drink coffee. Typically at work or at a restaurant.

So just wondering, am I really the only person who doesn't like coffee? The lines at Starbucks and Filter would say yes but I have to think there is at least one other person who agrees.

Both make my stomach turn. Being in a Starbucks or coffee shop can be torture. Grateful Dh stopped drinking it (for health reasons).

+1 we must be twins. I hate meetings because of the coffee smell!

+1

coffee is foul. i hate sitting in meetings where everyone brings coffee - it's truly nauseating.
coffee breath is even worse.

I agree with you OP. I hate the smell and taste of coffee. Always have. A lot of people drank it in college - engineering school with lots of late night studying and late night/weekend hands-on projects - and I never did. Have 2 kids, work f/t, and am a true morning person so I need no extra kick in the morning!

Hate it. I keep my office door shut until lunch time.

+1 OP. I only drink it now if it has booze in it.

I love the smell and don't care about coffee breath. My husband is the only person in his family who drinks coffee. The rest of them are constantly taking naps and complaining about being tired. Losers.

Yikes! I was kind of thinking the same thing about coffee drinkers! If you need coffee that bad to wake up and have energy than you aren't very healthy! Can't imagine what you all look like. Not sure the coffee haters are the losers. I'm a f/t WM and would consider myself an athlete and a morning person with no need for coffee. Have always hated the smell and taste and thought that people who *needed* coffee need a crutch to get through each day.

Your smugness is your crutch. We all have one.

+1. I love coffee... I love its smell, its taste, and what it does for me. There are many studies showing that drinking coffee is linked to a longer life.

Go on, haters. More for us.

OP here. I have a 6 year old. I don't consume much caffeine and definitely not on a daily basis (sometime in my 30s it started bothering m head and my stomach) I don't sleep much so I am either naturally energized or I am constantly exhausted, so much so that I don't even realize it.

Full time white male? First time working mom? Frank trash west mule?

I can take or leave coffee (and I do have kids, including a baby), but people who don't like the smell baffle me. That's like saying, "newborn baby? That sweet lovely top of their head smell? Gross."
