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

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

You need something thin enough to get underneath. Do be careful with protecting your eyes, incase it shatters. So ideally you need some goggles!

Hot water dissolves superglue does it?

9 mins until Skype call!

It might be worth trying to twist it round rather than pull it off (snurk)

This thread is making me laugh so much, it's the funniest thing I've read I ages!! 😆
Sorry I've no ideas to help.

Ahhh, I needed this today.

Thank you OP. Thank you for your service to humanity.

Shamelessly place marking for progress updates!

I think you need to start preparing yourself for the forthcoming demise of your mug

Oh my, bloody hand sanitizer didn't work, but my skin is nice and raw now.

Seriously, my workplace is not adequately appointed. There is no WD40, no plastic thread, no metal thread just nothing remotely useful in this sort of situation!!!!!

I'm going to my Skype meeting and will return to this. I know I'm going to have go into bloody town in the bastard snow for nail varnish remover - sigh, grrrrrrr!

Tell your boss you need a new keyboard as you have bad wrists. Get a split one so it comes in two pieces. Put one either side of the mug so it looks like it is meant to be there.

Do not use nail varnish remover. It will lift paint and warp the wood. Persist with the teaspoon

@MargoLovebutter, just so you know you're not alone, I once superglued my eye shut and my fingertips to said eye.

And if anyone is familiar with Adrian Mole.... they'll know that he once glued a model plane to his nose

You need a sharp knife. Your only way out.

Tbf, I did this in the process of sticking an ornament back together and made the mistake of rubbing my eye (wasn't doing anything weird!).
When I tried to move my hand I yelped in pain then realised what I'd done.

My husband thought it was hilarious.

I spent all afternoon trying to separate first my fingers (which was easier) and then my eyelids, which was really painful and took bloody hours. I actually thought I'd have to go to A&E at one point, but the shame spurred me on, though I lost a lot of skin and eyelashes, and all my dignity.

Do you have any looseleaf books or folders that are bound with spiral wire or plastic, you could try and decontruct one for a sawing implement.

So selfish, going to a meeting instead of staying here, with us

Trying very hard not to laugh out loud in costa.

Is your desk movable? I'm thinking this could be a good way to get back at an annoying colleague.

OP is fond of the mug. She needs to save it.

Step 1: clear your desk.
Step 2: turn your desk around
Step 3: put your computer back onto your desk
Your mug is now behind the monitor. If anyone asks about it, claim it's always been there.

Pot a plant in it?

OP I thought your incident was funny till 6demanding contributed!!

Then howdid added ... that is literally my worst nightmare. I have an irrational fear of superglue and won't even have it in the house as my brain imagines DD picking it up then falling over and accidentally glueing her eyes and mouth shut! A bit like Elisha Cuthbert in House of Wax

If we end up in the zombie apocolypse because of Brexit I want to be with Firstbornunicorn. Genius.
