He suggested I microwave a cup of tea out of a luke warm pot. Does anyone do this? I do not and never will.

Maybe his other women microwaves her tea 🧐

People still make tea in a pot?

How else can you make tea properly?
Nothing worse than tea bags in mugs - that really is disgusting - maybe the husband does that as well🤣🤣

LTB.

I've met Americans who actually make tea by heating the water in the microwave. For that I think we should bring back firing squads.

What an anticlimax; I thought you were going to tell us that he suggested a threesome or anal sex, at least!

HRchatter · 25/10/2025 16:52

When I had little kids, I used to do this several times an hour in an attempt to get a hot drink
I thought that was perfectly normal

GoodQueenBess · 25/10/2025 16:54

I thought you were going to say he'd suggested flushing soup down the loo.

lowlight · 25/10/2025 16:57

I have literally just reheated my warm cup of tea to make it hot again!! Perfectly acceptable thing to do - or am I wrong?

I would not heat up stewed tea though as it would be yucky

Blondeshavemorefun · 25/10/2025 16:57

Totally outrageous

SophiaSW1 · 25/10/2025 17:12

I know lots of people who do this! I didn’t drink tea and happily drink my coffee cold if need be.

SophiaSW1 · 25/10/2025 17:14

I thought it was going to be about rimming or something Grin

Allmarbleslost · 25/10/2025 17:15

I was expecting a Saturday bum sex thread. Bit of a let down.

JohnTheRevelator · 25/10/2025 17:16

I've done this. And with a cup of coffee too runs and hides

Must admit that this was what I thought when I saw the thread title 😂

Skybluepinky · 25/10/2025 17:17

Tea is disgusting no matter how it’s made.

UsernameMcUsername · 25/10/2025 17:31

Another one who thought this was about sex and is a bit disappointed.

Warming up tea that's already in a cup and been left on the side and forgotten about is one thing.

But... those of you who say you do... surely the tea has been sitting in the teapot and brewing away with tea bags or leaves for ages, and will be way too gutsy. I'm not a fan of that much tannin.

We brew with one of those removable baskets, so no.

The tea does continue to stew a bit just with its own teaness even with the basket removed, but nothing too bad.

DH takes milk but I don't, so if it looks too strong I might add some boiled water before I reheat mine.

Salvadoridory · 25/10/2025 17:34

I thought it would be a request for rimming or teabagging or pegging or something, bad enough but this? Fucking sick bastard

EveDeservesBetter · 25/10/2025 17:35

Coffee yes, tea never.

tommyhoundmum · 25/10/2025 17:35

I do and then never drink it.

ChocolateCinderToffee · 25/10/2025 17:38

I do this. I make a whole pot of tea to myself and then drink it all day on and off.

PrincessofWells · 25/10/2025 17:40

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 25/10/2025 13:52

Yes I do when I forget to drink it. Sometimes I find another mug in the microwave from the last time it happened.

Me too 😂
