[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait. Someone denying "me" coffee would mean war.[/quote]

I know, right?  I totally sympathize with the nauseous pregnant lady.  But dang I need my coffee.  Take the pot outside and brew it on the balcony.  Then bring it back inside and enjoy.[/quote]

No way. Pregnant lady can go outside.[/quote]

Oh, come on.  You don't make a woman with morning sickness drag herself out of bed and away from the toilet,  out onto the balcony while you brew your coffee inside like a big old jerk.  Just take the pot outside, sit on the balcony enjoying the sunrise while your coffee brews next to you.  You won't even have to get up to pour yourself a cup.  Just sit there enjoying that salty sea air with the smell of fresh coffee wafting in the wind - absolute heaven.[/quote]

So we should run an extension cord to the balcony to brew coffee and the rest of the house of 10+ adults should sit outside while the one person bothered by it sits inside? You're kidding right?[/quote]

Use the outdoor outlet.  Or run an extension cord.  Brew the pot outside.  People can come out and get a cup and go back inside.  It is the brewing that is making the pregnant woman sick. So a small effort on your part to avoid that would be nice.[/quote]

If pregnant woman is really getting that sick from ordinary smells, she should consider skipping this trip or staying at a condo or some other space nearby. It is incredibly inconsiderate to ask the entire house to be inconvenienced by her personal choices. [/quote]

Good grief.  Aren't you going on vacation with people that you like and care about?  This particular woman has only asked that people not brew coffee in the morning - the smell makes her sick.  She hasn't asked them to not scramble eggs, cook seafood, wear sunscreen around her or anything else like that.  Brewing coffee out on the deck would be absolutely no big deal at all to me.  Now if she started to rule out other cooking smells...that wouldn't be fair to everyone else and it might be time for her to find her own accommodations or even go home early.[/quote]

Only asked? Coffee is a basic staple for most people, not something that people are willing to forego or be super inconvenienced about on vacation.  Not to mention, I assume we're all paying to use the kitchen and basic facilities. [/quote]

Have your coffee already.  Just brew it on the deck so that you don't make the pregnant lady in your group vomit.  [/quote]
