Congratulations on making your caffeine addiction your personality. I hate to break it, but if you think drinking your hot bean juice as soon as you get out of bed will stop you from being a pain in the ass to coexist with, then odds are you were already miserable to begin with. Drink some water. Go on a walk. Do something other than chugging a Colombian laxative and making it other people’s problems when you can’t get your grubby mitts on it immediately.
Tea’s better, anyway

I find all people who make something trivial their personality to be insufferable, not just people who use caffeine as an excuse to be rude.
I hate the tatse of coffee. Never touch the stuff.
I still tell coworkers not to talk to me until I have my coffee.
OP is still insufferable after I’ve had my coffee
It barely takes 10 mins,
What’s so urgent in morning?
It’s normal to have 30 mins for yourself after walking up.
I call it my waking ritual.
Involves Coffee, Shitting, Brushing, Meditation, Journaling.
Every person should definitely be entitled to what he does with his early hours.
Not everyone is a morning person bud.
I go for a 6-10 mile run early every morning. I enjoy my coffee afterwards. I still prefer to be left the hell alone (if possible) until I’ve done those two things, mostly because I like to start the day with a clear head before the chaos begins. I fail to see how that is anyone else’s problem.
People who judge coffee enthusiasts are insufferable
Congratulations on your ability to cast judgement towards people who are different from you. I hate to break it, but some people are diagnosed with ADHD and use stimulants in order to be a functioning human being, and there are others who lack a diagnosis but still get a similar benefit from stimulants. If you automatically assume that everyone would be perfectly happy if only they matched your specific lifestyle, maybe you should reconsider your thought process. Do something other than display your ignorance by writing a passive-aggressive Reddit post.
I feel like don’t talk to me until I’ve had my coffee is a thinly veiled “I literally just walked through the door, if it’s not urgent, can I get set up first please? I feel like in the grand scheme of things I’m more annoyed by the type of person that wants to bombard me with questions before I’ve even sat down at my desk
I think it’s really just code for don’t jump all over me first thing in the morning let me settle in.
I don’t need some busy body in my cube 3 min after I sit down yapping about some crap.
I honestly used to be like this, until I got a CPAP machine, and found out what sleep really was. Effing game changer.
Lol I’m not doing any of that shit you listed without at least 3 coffees first. Take my upvote.
I don’t blame my crudeness on not having coffee, I’m just a blunt morning person for like the first thirty minutes coffee or not.
It’s just coincidental that I typically finish my coffee once I’ve been up long enough to function lol
Well at least we’re insufferable in our own houses minding our own business, unlike you.
You’re immediately in people’s faces in the mornings ain’t ya
I drink decaf and I still don’t want to be bothered until after I have a cup or two. It’s not the coffee. It’s the “I’m not ready to talk.” Works fine for me bc I live alone. 😂
And morning people need to settle the fuck down.
Mornings are for coffee and contemplation.
When you roll up to work and you have clients banging on your window…. It’s an excuse for space before being bombard all day by other people’s wants and needs.
Ah that’s funny. I might be like that but I don’t mention it or defend with it. But yeah I am awake kinda like a hibernating bear.
You’re annoying and people don’t want to deal with you first thing, they’re just too polite to say it outright.
OP’s next post: dont talk to me until ive had my tea.
in any case, i agree.
Caffeine for show. Concerta for a pro.
It sounds like you’re an aggressive morning person.
I’d take coffee person over insufferable type A, my way or the highway, in your face morning person, any day.
If youre all up in peoples business within the first 30 minutes theyre awake then you my friend are the problem.
No, the thing is that it’s actually a way of saying , “shut up, I just woke up and whatever you have to say you can keep it to yourself . Why must you open your mouth to me when I just got up as if I’m supposed to care?” But it’s considered rude so this is an alternative.
It’s actually not the coffee. It’s having to deal with insufferable assholes who want to get out of their workspace to ramble at your trapped ass about inane bullshit while I’m just trying to log on and get ready for the morning meeting.
Im not a morning person forced to work mornings. Allow me to drink this attitude changing chemical so I can keep my job and not be a grouch to everyone.
I was a no coffee no talkie person for a long time, it turns our i had horrible sleep apnea and arthritis so bad I couldn’t relax enough to fall asleep.
So it could be something medical, I didnt know, they may not either
Tea is delicious. Coffee….I will drink it to be social, but it’s always a bit manky for my liking. It doesn’t refresh you or quench the thirst. It’s an insane way to start your day.
But I know people who go way past insufferable first thing in the morning…the ‘don’t even look at me until I’ve had a cigarette’ types.
They can make a man feel hateful, truly. Although they are a probably lot rarer these days. I knew two very well when I was growing up…my parents😡
You sound insufferable. Give ppl their space in the morning it’s all we’re asking.
Speak to me at 9am and then speak to me at 3pm, you tell me… It’s not about the coffee, it means let me wake up before you hit me with your morning person uppity attitude
I personally like people who can read between the lines and don’t take everything literally.
I hate to break it to you, but some people need some time after waking up before they want to fully engage in conversations with “my psychoactive beverage is better yours” types.
It’s less about caffeine specifically and more of a leave me alone until I’ve had time to fully wake up, at least in my case.
Every sound, every smell, every light, is dialed up to 100 when I first wake up. I don’t get angry because I haven’t had my coffee, though it does help level everything out faster than anything else. I get angry because I have asked nicely 1000 times to be left alone until I wake up bc everything is too much to the point of pain, and still people want to talk at me incessantly and loudly. Just give me 15 fucking minutes.
Most people say that to get others to leave them alone for a few minutes before constantly battering them with useless small talk or stupid questions that are likely non urgent. It’s also a tiny bit nicer than saying, “Don’t talk to me if you don’t absolutely have to, you insufferable prick.” But given your umbrage with it, I assume you’re probably upset because you’re someone insufferable enough that people don’t want to talk to you in the mornings.
I mean, I’m in the just “don’t talk to me” camp.
Sweet java is awesome, but it’s not a magic potion that makes people more tolerable.
I thought this was just a universal way people say “give me a moment to settle into my day” I haven’t met someone who is actually like this over coffee itself, it’s more of a phrase.
This is honestly a great unpopular opinion cause the comments are actually pretty torn over it
They probably just want YOU to shut up!
Dude I have not have my coffee yet, don’t talk to me.
I just don’t want to talk to you, dude.
Its not about coffee, really. It’s nice way of saying ,,fuck off morning person”.
My brain doesn’t work before 9am. With or without coffee. I will be aggressive if you bother me before 9am.
It’s not about the coffee, it’s about people like you not shutting the fuck up all day.
Coffee provides a good boundary for you to stop being insufferable for at least an hour of the day.
I’m definitely that type. It wouldn’t bother anyone who wasn’t in need of someone’s attention. I don’t care if someone doesn’t want to talk to me. For any reason.
Let people wake up, OP. Some people need time to adjust in the morning. It’s not about the coffee. It’s about them needing some peace and quiet for a few minutes.
it just means “don’t talk to me until i’m fully woken up and functioning” and i’m saying that as someone who doesn’t drink coffee in the mornings but hates being talked to for at least 45 minutes after waking up.
let people wake up ffs.
I think it’s annoying to say that, but you can’t expect me to understand anything until I get the wake-up juice, or I’m allowed to come in at 10.
If you want me there at 8, gimme drugs or don’t talk to me, I’m actually suffering.
OP is the guy talking your ear off first thing in the morning and thinks everyone else is the issue.
I wave off people and need about 30 min to an hour after waking up to begin engaging with other humans. If you’re in my house it does mean you. I will actually leave and go get a coffee because that’s my excuse to stumble away from people and not engage. I don’t sleep well, I don’t wake well— I’m clumsy, groggy, my back hurts, sometimes my elbow or other joints hurt. I’m a mess and most importantly I’m NOT fully awake. The coffee assists that process along with no instant engagement or activity until, ya know— I am actually awake. When I used to have to go into the office I’d grab it on the way and be awake and semi functioning before I got there.
I do relate to “don’t bother me until I’ve had my coffee”, people joke about that but I’ve been questioned about why I don’t save money and make coffee at home or even attempt to do that. It’s not about the coffee, there’s a whole ass struggle going on in the morning and going to get it is part of ending that.
Have you considered the possibility that you’re the insufferable one, and that’s why they say it?
I don’t know you but you feel unlikeable.
There are some who genuinely are like that BUT the majority of people who I’ve seen say this or use it just are trying to use an old joke to say “I just woke up, please don’t be annoying first thing in the morning”
I work 12 hour night shifts. You can talk to me right after I wake up. I can’t guarantee the conversation will be pleasant. But I won’t stop you
It’s just code for “back the hell off I’ve just walked in the door”
You get really insufferable people in work places who don’t even give colleagues half an hour to settle, log in, read emails, because jumping all over them.
…Fuck off mate
Typical reddit post, making something bigger or problematic when it isn’t.
I’m not a morning person. Simple. I won’t bite someone’s head off if they try to talk to me first thing, but I’ll politely say, “Let me have my coffee first, then I’ll be ready to talk.” Or something along those lines. I am totally useless in my first 30 minutes of waking lol, in my entire 35 years on this planet, I have never, ever been the kind to just bounce out of bed no problem. I wish I was! Honestly, the world is made for morning people.
Well, lately, I’ve also had more migraine days than not. Most often in the morning. So that isn’t helping my lack of being a morning person at all lol.
People need drugs to be able to function around you. This one is on you, mate.
Then shove your tea down your throat and let me enjoy my coffein addiction.
How arrogant to think you should judge how others deal with their morning grumpiness. All high and mighty, aren’t we?
prompt “I have nothing to do with my life, make a Reddit style complaint about coffee drinkers.”
The irony in making an insufferable post about people being insufferable
It’s not so much literal as “please don’t get all nuts and stressful immediately and let me settle into being awake/here for a few first”
Dont talk to me until ive had my coffee is code for i dont want to talk to you as soon as i get to work.
Your suggestions aren’t any better, they turn the coffee into “Don’t talk to me until I’ve gone on a walk.” How is that any better? I’ve never uttered the phrase “Don’t talk to me until I’ve had my coffee” but for people who aren’t obnoxious about it, I interpreted its meaning as “Let me wake up a little first before we jump right into the day.”
I prefer saying “don’t talk to me” to people
I love the type. “I live a clean and drug free life! “
“I’m on cup 10 and my third cigarette. “
This is a fairly popular opinion. It sounds like op is as insufferable with the “hOt bEaN jUiCE” and “tEa iS bETteR, aNyWaY”. Maybe it’s not about coffee and those people just say this to you?
My sister literally could not say a coherent word until after a couple cups of coffee. She passed away a couple years ago, I miss our quiet mornings swapping sections of the newspaper, then discussing them after a couple cups.
“Hot bean juice”….🙄
Has the same energy as people using the word “sportsball”, nerdy bitterness.
I’m one of those “Don’t talk to me until I’ve had my coffee” types, but only to people I find exhausting.
It’s not about the coffee per se, it’s about pumping a stimulant into my body to boost my executive function when dealing with some annoying git that never understands things nor knows when to shut up or read the room.
Seeing the comments here and seeing how they’re now completely on OPs ass, I think it’s safe to say this indeed was an unpopular opinion. And I love it.
ImTheCoffeePerson
Have you considered you’re the pain in the ass that no one wants to deal with?
I can’t believe you fucking posted this before I had my coffee.
Yes. I’ll stop being insufferable after I’ve had my coffee and about 30 minutes to relaunch human mode.
People generally suck. Coffee generally helps.
To play devils advocate I feel like people might say that as a socially normal way to say they’re still waking up. I’ll do something silly at work or forget something and I’ll say “it’s too early I haven’t had coffee” but in reality coffee doesn’t even do anything for me lol
Ngl that paragraph makes you sound kind of insufferable.
To me it’s always been a corny thing to say but in reality it just means “I need to wake up more before I socialize” which is fair. It doesn’t mean they’re addicted to caffeine necessarily, just means they’re tired. Which is something we can all relate to I think. I think you’re taking a corny phrase and taking it too literally/being way too judgmental about it.
I don’t even drink coffee and I say that because my personality is trash and it’s an accepted excuse, at least for the morning.
OP is that dude that hits you up the second you walk in. There’s not even time to take headphones off, mad they are blabbing about something that can wait until you’ve at least sat down
i tell people “don’t talk to me until I’ve had my coffee” and never drink coffee the whole day
I have never thought of that line as a “give me a moment line”, I always thought it was literal, and found the coffee addiction annoying because of it.
Maybe you shouldn’t have gotten addicted to caffeine in the first place
People who talk to you first thing in the morning when you are very tired get upset that you are not as awake as them are insufferable.
I would prefer to not talk to any human until noon or even later. I don’t drink coffee right away but I need calmness in the mornings. But that’s not reaason to be rude to others. In my dream community people will still say good morning and perhaps there will be a part of the island where you can go to if you are feeling more social. And another part for the quiet ones.
I’m not going to hold it against them. I don’t drink coffee but I have ZERO interest in speaking any more than I have to with anybody first thing in the morning.
Dude youre the problem if youre that in people’s face from the moment they walk in the door
It kinda depends even if you don’t drink coffee some people just aren’t a morning person I don’t bother really wanna be bothered every time they get up and or go to work. You weirdly make it sound like someone who enjoys coffee is some kind of moral failing.
With me it’s not about the caffeine, it’s about the ritual and just having some time for myself. It could be a tea but coffee tastes better and it’s quicker (I don’t need to wait 5-10 minutes)
This.
I kinda agree. Everyone in the comments talking about business meetings and work, I know people who don’t talk to their own relatives or snap at them first thing in the morning without coffee. That’s unacceptable and insufferable
Do yourself a favor and go take a cold shower.
It has nothing to do with the coffee, and everything to do with not being a morning person, or not wanting to have social interactions forced on them first thing in the morning.
I have pretty crippling ADHD; if I don’t take my meds exactly on time, every day, my circadian rhythm almost instantly resets into a jankedy thirty-hour tilted as fuck ADHD goblin schedule where I’ll be awake for twenty hours and sleep for ten if there is nothing to force me to get up or go to bed at normal times.
And the ADHD doesn’t just affect my sleep. I am not only not hungry when I first wake up, but the very idea of eating makes me nauseous even if I can feel I’m starving. The first couple of hours of my day turn into an absolute shitshow until I can manage to either eat something, or drink enough coffee that the calories from the milk and sugar can get me through to lunch.
I just don’t want to talk to you Janet, especially as I just got in to work
I dont drink Coffee, Nor do i want to Talk to OP ever
You are dropping all of this on me before my Monday morning coffee?..
Jeez ….
Listen, I’m chipper and bright as fuck after like 11am. It’s not my fault the corporate hellscape of late stage capitalism has dictated that we all need to operate on the same schedule. Happy for you that it works but I don’t need your glitter bomb ass personality assaulting my senses 2 minutes after I walk in and then getting butthurt that I’m not blowing rainbows up your dick. Let me have some tranquility to appreciate my one small joy of the day before I have to subject myself to your presence.
And by the way, we see you crawling through the second half of shift and clocking out early every chance you get because your chihuahua brain can’t pace itself through a whole honest day of work.
I’m gonna guess people say this to you because you’re too much in the mornings.
It’s not literally about coffee. It’s a coded way of putting in place social boundaries, which you appear to have not worked out or followed.
Im almost sure that that is not meant to be taken literally.
It simply means “Let me wake up first and then we will talk”.
Despite I dont have coffee addiction, when I enter the office I dont want to be asked about work related matters untill I have gotten on my computer with a cup of coffee and checked news and emails.
I drink coffee in the morning but it isn’t about the coffee. I just don’t want to talk for the first part of the day because I want to reenter the world slowly. If that makes me insufferable then so be it.
Like many said already, it has nothing to do with coffee. This is just a way of saying that they need a little more time to actually wake up. You should go out more often, that is peak “I’m against something I see online and have no social clue whatsoever”
You’re mad that physiology exists and want to chalk it all up to character flaw
It’s like ignoring how being hungry effects mood and concluding everyone is insufferable when really their body needs food.
Coffee perks people up.
You sound entitled in your attitude towards access to other people.
Ikr. Don’t talk to me even once I’ve had it, fr
What do you have against some peace and quiet? Not everyone wants to be bombarded by incessant rambling first thing in the morning. Doesn’t matter what beverage someone’s drinking, just shut up and let them enjoy the silence for a damn minute or two.
Its not the coffee. We dont want to be spoken to at all. The coffee just gives us a little time
I’m with you. A lot of people here do not understand what you mean. Insufferable.
It’s too early for this post.
It’s not that I havent had my coffee yet, it’s that I really don’t want to speak to you.
The type that insists on talking to me before I’ve had my coffee is insufferable.
this is so clearly chatgpt
Hey man—they just don’t want to talk to YOU
This sub is weird because the point is to post unpopular opinions.
And when they’re truly unpopular people just shit on OP and call him insufferable.
It’s like a personality version of r.amiugly
So you’re the guy who asks open-ended questions when people are trying to still wake up their brains…
You are definitely someone who shouldn’t talk to me before my coffee.
You might just be the exact type of person I want to find me insufferable
I quit coffee three years ago and still don’t like to converse in the morning until I’ve been up for a few hours.
Maybe some of us just value a little quiet time before needing to talk.
I don’t like that either though. Don’t start bombarding me with conversation before I’ve had time to wake up and get myself together
I mean im one of those people who don’t like getting bombarded with questions/work/tasks 10 min after waking up, like damn I feel like I just got out of a coma give me a sec
I am not a morning talker. I simply don’t understand how people can wake up and just start vomiting endless words.
I don’t “need my coffee” in the morning, I need 30-45 minutes to prepare to engage the world.
So it’s easier to say things like “let me have my coffee first” rather than try to explain how my brain has worked for the last 40 years. Coffee is just a recent scapegoat.
You’ve missed the point of that phrase entirely
It seems people find you insuffurable and the coffee thing is a nice way to tell you to shut up and not bombard them the first thing in the morning.
I’m a morning person, but not everyone is. A person telling you they need their coffee is a way to tell you that they are not yet prepared for whatever you’re bringing to their attention. There’s many people that have that “routine.” Being a grownup is learning how to respect it and work with it. It’s not as bad as you’re making it out to be. It kind of says more about some level of entitlement, lack of understanding, and immaturity on your part.
Its a memed way of saying to leave me tf alone in the morning. It takes me like 2 hours in the morning to shake off the sleep and grouchyness that comes from being a night owl. People have different circadian rhythms.
I find the happy cheery morning people insufferable. Like stop bouncing around and making noise when i dont even want to be awake rn.
