Dad mad at me making an 'unreasonable" assumption about my OJ cup being in the fridge w/ OJ again @ lunch

Background:

As long as I can remember I have always used a vintage Tupperware cup for whatever the first-meal-of-the-day I have (aka Thursdays breakfast rest of the week  lunch).  I have always used the Yellow cups for my OJ and up until sometime recently   Mom used the Orange Tupperware cup-  but once it started going rotten- she stopped using it.  What she  been using recently  instead is using some other kind of cups.    After her small experience with being sick with Covid in 2022- she now only drinks half a cup of OJ.    I'm not sure if I like other people drinking from my cups or not -I know I don't like people using "my"  lunch plate except for Mom.   And also Dad has a habbit of not paying attention to ANYTHING in the house that doesn't concern him (like the kind of OJ cups people use,  or who isn't here ,etc). 

Story:

Since Thursday is shopping day so I get up on Thursdays and go downstairs to have breakfast- either cereal or Oatmeal +toast with PB +orange juice and Coffee everything Dad had already prepared or set up before I get downstairs or in the process of getting it ready.   

Now if we skip forward to lunch on Thursday-I went to get my lunch ready and I found that my Orange Juice  cup was once again in the Fridge filled to the brim with OJ.  So to me, if someone has filled my cup to the brim again  with something like Orange Juice,  especially around lunch time  my reasonable assumption is to assume, that I'm suppose to drink a 2nd cup  of OJ for lunch.  

A couple of hours later I'm emptying the dishwasher talking to Mom and I mentioned about the 2nd drink of OJ and Dad got mad saying "You drank that? It was suppose to be for Mom!"   And I'm like "um it was in MY OJ cup?!"   and also "Mom hasn't had a full cup for over an entire year now!" 


  if he wanted it to be for Mom put it in  HER Orange juice cup not MINE!   He's acting like I meant the unreasonable assumption of drinking OJ again when it was in MY Orange Juice cup- but since that's just the fact it was MY cup he put OJ in again and put it in the fridge.

@Disneywoman it's really not nice of your father to behave like this to you in regards to the juice when indeed it was in your cup in the first place.

@KateDoskocilova  Yeah he got really mad when I said I drunk the OJ he had left once again in the fridge  but like I said,  it was once again in MY Orange Juice cup (I know it was mine because 1)I used it that morning and I know it was the same cup as in the morning because my OJ cup was missing from the counter where we leave dirty dishes until I get around to emptying the dishwasher and refilling it)( and 2)the other yellow Tupperware cup was still in the dishwasher from yesterday.
