Teabgs in sinks. Fuckers

[SlightlyJaded]

Seriously. AIBU to think people who do this should be made to remove the cold teabag with their teeth?

I have worked in a few different places in my time and there are always a few people who think it's ok to put a used teabag in the sink. For the love of god, why? It's rubbish. It goes in the bin. Would you put a half eaten sandwich in the sink? An apple core? No? Then why the fuck would you put a tea bag in there for some hygeine freak poor soul to fish out.

I have sent emails round workplaces and nobody ever owns up but unless the teabags are jumping in themselves there are clearly lots of people who do this.

Stand up
Be counted
Explain to me why it's ok.

I really want to understand.

My mum does this.

I do NOT!

Fucking hate it. I don't understand the people who leave it on the side/in another mug/in a teabag dish

Stick it in the bin, dirty lazyarses.

Here here.

My DH leaves our teabags on the kitchen surface. Literally right next to the food waste caddy thing.

It's vile.
How about weird people who leave manky coffee cups filled with water.

wtf??

Wash it!

It mings.

Best thread title ever.

I hate it when anyone leaves used teabags in the sink and my ex boss even used to stuff them down the side of the bowl, using more effort than if he had taken the two extra steps to the bin and opened the lid.

Thank you thank you.
YYY to the manky bit of lettuce in the plug hole
And Y to thinkning you can leave the teabags on the worktop. You can't! It is Bad.

moondog my dad does that with coffee cups. It's disgusting and makes no sense to me at all.

My mum puts them on the draining board when she comes here. I suspect that at home she re-uses them.

I have a special tea bag saucer by the kettle for those who can't seem to make it to the bin!!

Oh. Just seen my typo in title. Whoops .

Clearly that should read Teabags. But you knew that :)

Have you asked him why?
For me, it is only colleagues that do that so I can't be as blunt as i would like to be.

Dh does this. Dd1 has just started making tea (mainly for DH the lazy sod) she puts the used teabags in the cutlery drawer

I would love the tea bags to be left in the sink - as opposed to floating in a soaking pan. DH always does this, plus uses said pan to tip slops in, until it is a boak-worthy soup.

Guess who always has to sort it out? Down the sink is much better.

WHY do people do it? I just don't get it?

Any remotely food rubbishy type thing in the sink honestly makes me heave.

I have a saucer next to the kettle, because the bin is at the other end of the kitchen (it's quite a big kitchen) and tea dripping all over the floor would drive me nuts.

Does irritate that no-one else ever empties the saucer, but tbf DH makes most of the cups of tea, including mine.

But... you can't put a hot teabag into the bin. It will heat all the horrible rubbish up and make it smell.
But I only leave them out to cool down at home.
Not in other peoples sinks. Or anywhere else.
Infact, I prefer coffee and hardly drink tea at all. Really.

Butter surely 'in the bin' is much better still?
moondog sone guff about stopping the cup from staining. Tis a lie used to avoid washing up - along the lines of DH 'leaving things to soak'.
Dooin - I have no words

And I know that 'infact' should be 'in fact' and not one word

They go in the compost bin. Anyone who doesn't put them there is taken out and shot. That learns em.

Really Obi? I think that's a bit...erm... tries to think of a politer word than lame far-fetched

My dad is a neat freak, and does this. He does it so they can cool down, then he can wring them out without burning himself, and the drippy tea won't leak out of the rubbish bag.

I just throw it in the bin. Far less hassle.

'leaving things to soak'
That is such a lie isn't it?

I used to hang around a lot with a family in the mid 80s as a teen. They had a brand new house with an 80s tastic kitchen (all ruched knicker blinds and white units). I always remember how their white double sink was permanently brown from all the tea bags thrown in it.

"Leaving things to saok" is a lie like "I was about to do that" and "yes, I'll do it in a minute"
