i can usually finish bottles of juice because they're just the right size (12-16 oz.) but the 20-24 oz. bottles of soda are too big for me and i usually leave about a third for later (by which time it's gone flat anyway).

At risk of being sexist, I know a lot of women and they all leave grad school early to get married and pop out babies. It has come to the point that I feel it is a universal woman thing. (Obviously, this does not apply to non-binding relationships, condom-toting swingers on hot days wandering the city, or bookish spinsters who favor mannish ambition over marriage) The key seems to be comfort. If there is a place to discard of her childen and lover, there is a good chance that her studies might get finished (i.e. getting a divorce, airmailing the kids to Basque Country). But if she gets tied down and postpones her schooling "for later," her last 2-3 semesters of grad school will remain unfinished until such time she eventually resigns herself to the sullen bonds of housewifery.

and although the plunger thingie pushes all the coffee grounds to the bottom before you pour the coffe into your cup, a certain amount of ground coffee sludginess does end up in the bottom of the cup and I don't like drinking that bit.
I sometimes don't finish my morning tea, because I drink it while multi-tasking several other jobs (load or unload the washing machine, get breakfast for everyone else, shout at kids to get up for school, feed the dogs/cats/guinea pigs/chickens, iron a shirt for The Bloke, get myself ready for work etc etc) and I will often get distracted by all this other stuff and forget to drink it. I can only drink tea when it's nice and hot - by the time it's cooled to lukewarm, it's disgusting.
I finish other drinks, I think. Bottles of wine water, glasses of juice, cans of pop (though I don't often drink the latter) all get polished off okay.

most of my former roommates have done this, m & f - every time i'd do the dishes i'd have to search the house and inevitably find a few to several cups with stuff in the bottom. milk = the worst.
but sometimes you just want half a cup of tea. the thing that bothers me is when the cups are left around the house or wherever - just please put them in the sink! even, y'know, pour the leftover down the drain! it is not so hard.

A little bird with a huge appetite for candy and anything else told me that you got a great new job, a new dude and are basically kicking ass at life! Hooray. Also, I was just wondering, do you still leave half-full cups of water all over the place? I sure hope so, it was one of my favorite things about you, aside from how adorable you look while making pie in an apron drinking beer.

I do finish all of my ciders though, by pouring the last bit of the old bottle into the new bottle. Um, I don't know why I do that instead of draining each bottle but yeah.
I also leave cups around til they're mouldy which everyone goes off at me about. Even my bloke! And he leaves all the cupboard doors open and the lids off the vegemite and plates all over the house, so sod him!
Yeah ok we're slobs.

Why is it unfortunate? Why does it make you feel guilty? Who gives a shit? I do it too. So what? It's my house, they're my drinks, if they're annoying you I'll clean them away. But I won't finish them and you can't make me.

also people who keep the spoon in their cup while drinking their tea or whatever. not that this pisses me off, but WHY DO YOU DO IT? it's not to make sure the sugar's all stirred in bc the sugar is already all stirred in, and people who don't take sugar do it too. explain?

Spoon thing: quite often when I make tea, I bring it out immediately, without waiting for it to steep, and let it steep in the living room. I fully admit right now to leaving tea bags in my tea the entire time I'm drinking it, which probably makes me weird, but anyway it was to prevent me from having to go into the kitchen four separate times just for a drink I don't like THAT much and JBR is correct--leaving the tea bag and spoon IN prevents mess on table. Shockingly, I don't find it difficult to, like, avoid my eyes while drinking or whatever people are worrying about. Honestly, haven't you all had a cocktail at a bar? Do you take the stirrers out and leave them on the bar, or do you leave them in the drink?

I do that, too. However, you can have the rest of my coffee or beer when you pry it out of my cold, dead fingers.
I had one roommate who would put dirty dishes, with food still on them, on the floor in between the couch and the wall after she'd finished eating. She did this even though the kitchen was between the couch and wherever she would need to go next. Another roommate would put half-eaten plates of food, uncovered and still on the plate, in the fridge where they would die a slow, cold death.

ANTI-WOMAN EXPLANATION: Women be shopping looking at the Nutritional Facts and noticing that, per the recommended serving size, that bottle of juice contains two servings, and in order for the calorie count to be accurate, they can only drink half. (They could just multiply the calorie count by two, but women aren't good at math.)
