Question by Corona: My best friend, who lives next door with her boyfriend, had to go out of town for about 6 weeks. She has been?
gone for about 3 weeks now. My husband and her boyfriend went fishing last Sunday morning. My husband went over there at 5:00 am so that they could load up and asked the boyfriend if he was going to make some coffee. He said “No man, I haven’t cleaned it out since “Lisa” left.” My husband looked over there and seen mold floating in left over coffee. Should I tell my friend?? She is going to come home and drink from that pot, which I am sure he will at least attempt to clean before she comes home. If I tell, she will confront him and he will know my husband told me and I told her. What should I do??

It’s a moldy coffee pot, let it go. What’s the big deal? If he doesn’t clean it then she will before she uses it…if he does clean it then what’s to care about? Mold happens…
What do you think? Answer below!
I think you should just mind your own business in this situation. I would assume that if he is too lazy to clean up the entire time she is gone that he will also be too lazy to clean up right before she gets back, so she will probably see the miserable condition that the place is in and give a really good cleaning when she gets back. As sad as it is that he is willing to live like that while she isn’t around it is obviously part of his personality and she probably already realizes that he is this way.
Why don’t you just confront her boyfriend instead and don’t sugar coat it either. Be direct, people respect that.
It seems pretty petty! =P Just tell her, but don’t make it into a big deal. Laugh it off… it’s only a coffee pot! I’d rather someone told me than just let me drink from a moldy coffee pot. If they get into an argument over it, it’s because he’s a lazy butt who didn’t clean the pot in the first place.
Butt out…it’s moldy coffee for crying out loud!
Don’t tell her. The only thing I would tell my friend is if my husband saw her boyfriend with another woman. Otherwise I would stay out of their relationship. Your husband may be placed in an awkward position.
wow, if this is the biggest problem you have….I want your life!
That is just flat out disgusting and she could get very VERY sick from it. Shes your best friend right? Be a good friend and tell her that you arent trying to rat out her boyfriend, but your just trying to help her and let her know what has been going on. Make sure that she knows about her boyfriends bad habit, as some people may have a problem with that. Also, make sure you tell her right after she gets home or while she is on vacation so she knows to clean the coffee pot with strong products. Good LuCK! ♥
It is called mind your own business, if he cleans it before she comes back what’s the deal. That is how conflicts in friendship start do to somebody not minding their business. She is your friend and I assume she and you spend a lot of time together. Why make it awkward for yourself when the bf is around? Let it go! Take it from a pro, if you tell her then he will figure out you told and he’ll think your messy, and meddlesome and look for reasons to dislike you, she won’t leave him and eventually your friendship will be strained over what a damned coffee pot.
Well, this is what I would do…… I would advise my husband to tell the “boyfriend” to clean the coffee pot first of all, then I would buy a new coffee pot and have my husband secretly exchange the moldy”clean” one with the new one…. that way she won’t drink moldy coffee and no one will be the wiser….. lol
Or you can just tell him to stop being such a slob and clean the damn coffee pot…. gross !!!!
My suggestion would be to let it be. Mold will grow any where there is moister and as long as the surface is cleaned properly it will not cause anyone any harm. I am sure that one or the other will clean it before the next use. You wouldn’t want to appear “petty” to your friend.
