[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree. When my in laws visit, my FIL always ask "Is there coffee?" when we bring out dessert. Nope, there's no coffee. Feel free to make some while we enjoy dessert though.[/quote]
Why wouldn’t you serve coffee with dessert if you know that someone will always ask for it?[/quote]

NP. Because one person out of a large gathering of people wanting something = he’s the outlier. What if someone asked “Is there Code Red Mountain Dew”? What if someone else said “Is there a cheese course”? What if someone else wanted a different kind of dessert than what was on offer? “What about any of those After Eight mints, got any of those”? Like, there are tons of things one could reasonably want or enjoy after dinner and dessert. But that doesn’t mean you should ask your hosts for yet more hospitality.

I dislike pie. I don’t ask for an alternative on Thanksgiving when that is all my ILs serve. That would be rude. [/quote]
Such a hostile way of looking at a simple request.[/quote]
