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?

Wait till the end of the day and swap with someone else.
How much do you hate your boss...?

This thread has to go in classics!

Ah, how wine helps!

Loving that anyone would think I’m strong enough to lug my desk around the building! Small children have more upper body strength than I do!

I glued a pair of short denim jeggings to my leg when I was trying to fix my glasses (trying not to have to buy new ones fail) . I was wearing them at the time and ended up with a glue blob on the jeggings which I can't shift, a scar on my leg and a hole in the jeggings that happened when I tried to remove the glue blob .
I feel your pain OP

I've managed to superglue myself to myself several times. I now keep a good nail polish remover in the house, because I know I'll do it again one day. I've also taken to keeping some disposable gloves for when I use superglue. At least then I can take the gloves off (hopefully)...........

Nothing as bad as these incidents.

Why have I never thought of gloves for superglue?! There are some very adulty adults on this thread

Could you end up sticking the gloves to your hands though do you think? I'm sure I could achieve that effortlessly

Leave it for the cleaner - but set up a hidden camera first!

I super glued the sheepskin sole into my wellies recently. And put the boots on to make sure it set completely flat (had folded and creased where loose.)
Luckily my feet are like hooves so peeled it off no problem.
Boot 2 I pressed the sole down with my hand. I lost all my fingerprints temporarily 🙄😑

Why has anyone else not questioned the fact that the OP was superglueing a chipped mug back together while the tea was in it? Never superglue chips onto mugs or other food receptacles - never do it when it is already being used for said food or drink. A drop of superglue in your tea and it is contaminated. Are you weird or is it me reading this wrong??? And to the poster who suggested using acetate as made me properly laugh! Just use a thin bit of plastic to wobble the mug off!! sorry - I don't mean to take the P...

My DF was helping Sprog Minor with their construction homework, asked me to hold a vital part. DF superglued his DD to the dining room table. I was instructed not to make any fuss in case DM found out. DF/DGF is a hero as far as the Sprogs are concerned. I lost a lot of skin but DM never found out.

Um, OP, you know that metal thread you were talking about? Is that a bit like wire?

Glad you got it sorted and didn’t have to resort to sex lube and a fish slice.

I have lost a fingerprint in a superglue and hand incident.

Doh Ironmanrocks the chip was on the outside of the mug. Not even I would put superglue actually in my tea!

Why have I never thought of gloves for superglue?!

I happened to have some in the house at the time. Latex ones, but you can get other types. So far, I've managed to avoid getting stuck again, but I reckon it's only a matter of time....

I tried latex free ones and they sloooowly dissolved. They can also get in the way if its fiddly. I ended up trying to use toothpicks to push all the bits in place and glued a toothpick firmly to the thing I was trying to stick.

This reminds me of when EatShitDerek superglued her fridge freezer door shut.
Happy memories.

Phew!!! I was imagining you gluing the top edge (then potentially drinking from it and gluing your lips...) I am so glad all is well in my head again!!

Ha ha!

Do you feel like a mug?

Has that been said already

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.
Great idea!

Ah this thread has really made me laugh.

My friend, who has a very important job somewhere very important, messaged me once to tell me that her finger was stuck in a random hole that she'd noticed in her desk and she'd stuck her finger in it. She had to cancel a meeting saying she felt ill because she was attached to her desk by her finger. Her secretary (whilst taking the piss mercilessly obvs) had to saw her out using the blade of a pencil sharpener. I howled laughing at that. 😂

Haven't rtht but have an image in mind of the op with safety goggles on, holding a length of floss in one marigold clad hand and nail polish in the other with a mad gleam in her eyes and determined look about her. rofl

Turn your desk around so the cup is at the back of the desk?

Can’t help you, but in the interests of solidarity I can reveal that I once superglued my jeans to my bum. That wasn’t funny either.

I can't post a photo!!!!!! I am legendarily territorial about my somewhat unusual mug so at least 250 people know that it is mine and could be one of you!!!!

Go on, post a picture! If we were going to recognise you we'd have done it by now, unless this is a daily occurrence in offices up and down the country

Did you get away without lifting the varnish on the wood ?
