Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

It's July 25th.

It's the hottest day of the year. 

I walk past a charity shop. In one corner of the window I spot...

...FUCKING CHRISTMAS CARDS. 

Just had the email through that ours are on the way.

I don't know what the f**k's going on with people paying full price for Christmas cards in the middle of summer, but the first two weeks in August are when most get sold, possibly only beaten by a couple of weeks in November. Bizarre behaviour.

Murray field being sold out for a Liverpool friendly

On the bright side, Napoli are giving them an absolute hiding.

Cos when someone comes to do the dishes they need to pick up these cold soggy teabags and chuck them in the food recycling when some lazy b*****d could've just done that in the first place?

I was right when I said it annoyed some people. I don't get it - when the sink filter catches bits of food that have been washed off the pots no-one bats an eyelid. But when it's a teabag...

Because teabags don't just fall there accidentally unlike the bits of food. Some lazy b*****d has just dropped them there rather than move a couple of feet to drop them in the bin instead.

So it's the attitude of the perpetrator rather than the challenge of the clean-up operation?? The language used in the two responses to this have compounded my perception that this offence produces a disproportionately angry response. I think I'd take cover in these houses if someone wiped up the dog's piss with the kitchen cloth.

The wee bit next to the sink is the correct place for a used tea bag, and then safely disposed in the bin (or recycling) when it's cooled off.

 

 

Actually edited to add that if its a shared space then any dishes or food stuff left in the sink is the height of ignorance. Those folk deserve a boot to the pie.

Folk leaving food in the sink is fucking minky too. A lettuce leaf or a slice of onion is going to need physically removed by someone less unhygienic and lazy. 

You're a mink, aren't you?

Why can't you just bin it whilst it has some heat in it?

I'm always feart that it'll melt the bin bags!

Ha! You're absolutely fine to bin them straight out the cup!

Same as leaving teabags in the spoon rest. It's for spoons!

This is mine. The lazy shite in work leave them there then put the wee saucer on the windowsill so you end up having to scrape a tea bag off it as it's like it's welded down.

My wife demands the teabag is left in the cup, so I don’t have that fear
