I've never 'got'

Ha, my mum has always done this, can't say I've ever thought about it before.

Interesting how different groups get different exposure. I was a bit older by that point, but also young enough to miss them first time around and only became aware of them when everyone seemed to be playing them in '06.

But then in '00 I pretty much only listened to hip hop, dnb and oldskool.

When I first went out with my OH her housemate bought some sort of specific chincy(sp?) saucer for this.

Ours go into the sink to cool, then to then into the compost bin.

At least they're not straight on the draining board or worse, the countertop. But you wouldn't wash up your plate/saucer after every cup of tea would you? Seems unnecessary and wasteful.

This is what I’m dealing with, My 2010 Alessi spoon rest, her teabag and spoon, right in front of the fucking compost caddy! FFS!!!! Just put the bag in the caddy is it really that hard?

into the sink to cool

I would question the necessity of this step

Isn't it the teabag version of leaving the knife across the butter in that you might have more toast?

You may use the teabag again? If you're still post War rationing...

Maybe I should set this up for her?

I think it does reduce how manky the compost caddy gets (frequent introduction of warm into moist environment = happy bacteria, mould etc)

I saw the Pixies twice in a week in 1989.

I feel very old, suddenly.

Were you able to get pissed, chips, and the bus home for a fiver?

£5 only because the bus would often run out of change.

I sort of agree. But it's quicker/easier to chuck a semi-wet bag in the sink. Add your milk, put it back in the fridge, etc. By which point the bag is a bit drier and you can put it straight in with no drips on the counter.

Folks that complain about having a headache but then refuse to take paracetamol or ibuprofen because they “just prefer not to take anything”.

Yep, you can extend this out to so many things. Moaning cunts in general that do absolutely fuck all to sort a problem but just whinge relentlessly about it.

Thought you were older.

Wasn't it Tom petty and the Heartbreakers?

Let's just call this out for what it is. A fucking power-move. She dgaf and is telling you she doesn't recognise your authority in the house.

Next time you're going to hers brew up a massive turd in advance, lay it in her upstairs toilet as soon as you arrive and don't flush.

Show her who's boss.

Fuck me how bad do I come across on here?

40's plenty old enough 😂

Tea bag straight in the caddy: accelerates the mingingness of the compostable bag and contents

Tea bag in the sink: doesn't dry out because of people using the tap

Tea bag on the dish on the side: looks disgusting

There isn't really a good solution. I squeeze it out in the sink and then put it in the compost

If you squeeze the teabag into your tea you might as well just reuse an old teabag out of the compost, since you clearly lack taste buds

Tea in tea bags.
Fucking peasants.

Fucking peasants.

There are some good looking ones, mind.

Haha! She only fucking lives with us! We’ve beaten most of the weird habits out of her, but this one persists.

I don’t drink tea. Maybe that’s the real issue here?

We have no bag, the contents go into the hot composter in the garden every evening.
