Fuck me, I have just super glued a full mug of tea to my desk - how the hell do I un stick it?

[MargoLovebutter]

Exactly that!!!!! I am a MASSIVE idiot. Any suggestions?

drink it through a straw and then get a knife and chisel it off?!

Wow, that’s impressive. Use a straw to drink the tea and then use the mug as a pen pot.

Use a straw to drink the tea before you do anything!

Why? Firstly drink the tea with a straw. Easier to deal with an empty cup. After that no idea

How on earth did you manage that?!!! 😂

How was the first response not " how the hell did that happen??!!??"

Drink tea and use nail varnish remover to detach cup from table

Dobby the cup is right in front of my keyboard in the middle of my desk - it can't stay there!!!!! I thought I'd glue a small chip back & the superglue must have trickled down and its solidly attached to my desk.

No bastard straws in the office but I'm making inroads with a teaspoon. Thank fuck I have my own office and no one can see what I am doing.

sorry no suggestions but that's very funny!

I really want to know how on earth you did that, if you didn't do it on purpose, in which case you are a total nincompoop .

I take the middle out of a biro and use it as a straw.

oh, cross post. That is most unfortunate, OP. And very funny.

Sorry, no help, but your title just made me snort my (non-superglued) mug of tea over my phone .

I need to know how you did this...

Good luck!

Can we have a picture

RiverTam definitely a nincompoop of the highest order.

Try a flat (not a cross head) screwdriver, the wider the better: insert flat edge underneath cup, and twist, while gently holding the cup. Wear gloves to prevent jabbing your hand if the screwdriver slips. But I would suggest using a straw to drink the tea first.

This reminds me of something once mentioned in New Scientist: someone discovered that if a high voltage was applied to molten chocolate, it transformed into a stiff gel. But why was molten chocolate around high-voltage metal plates in the first place?

Ah, that answers it! Good luck with the teaspoon.

Photo please

This has to be a Mumsnet Classic surely?

Good luck OP, I hope you solve the problem and thank you for making me laugh out loud.

You were glueing what? A chip?

🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sorry no help

I don't have a solution but thank you for sharing. It made me giggle

If anyone comes in and asks why you’re drinking your tea with a spoon, just look at them as if they are the crazy one, and say very seriously “it’s obvious, it’s called a TEAspoon, that’s what it’s for, of course.”

imagine if it had stuck to your lip!!

I'm having a crappy day and thank you for cheering me up. I think you can get glue dissolver.
