to think that if you stiryour beverage more than twice, you should expect some jaw clenching from your accompanists?

[GretaGip]

It's farking annoying.

Put the spoon down and move away from the agitation.

Grrrr.

[shirt-tempered]

Errm, YABU but I'm nervous about saying so. You're a bit scary.

Yabu, if you only stir it twice the sugar won't melt properly.

Do you really find it annoying? I can't say I ever notice.

No whats fucking annoying is finding that you're drink doesn't taste right because you haven't been able to stir it adequately for fear of upsetting some unreasonable knobhead drinks nazi.

YABU, I'd probably even start over dunking biscuits and then having to fish them out in the hope it would piss you off.

Yup.

You're allowed three stirs and spoon's out.

K?

I stir my drink a lot and I spoon out the froth. And I play the spoons.

Unless it's hot chocolate, which always needs stirring.

Sugar in Tea and coffee is simply wrong, anyway.

YABU

Beverages need different amounts of stirring depending on what is in them.

Inadequate stirring is bad thing. "2 times" may be insufficient.

But as you lift it up and down, that action blends it in as well.

So you can do a bit of stirring and then let science do its bit. Qui. Et. Ly.

Easy.

PMT?

My Dad has always done this to excess and it has annoyed me, - I agree that two or three revolutions is sufficient.

I am not BU.

I am the saviour of eardrums.

Nationwide.

I might evem go multinationall with this.

MY dd does this I have to leave the kitchen I swear she has a stirring ritual drives me potty YANBU

Also why on earth do these stirrers feel the need to tap the spoon on the side of the cup.Just stop it please.

Not only do I super stir the fucker (drink)

I tap the teaspoon on edge of the cup when finished in the style of a pleasing tune.

Dear me.
I hardly ever drink tea/coffee, but when I do, purely to be sociable, somebody is bound to chirrup that I'm stirring it in the wrong direction. I didn't realise there was a limit to permitted revolutions as well.

I stir my drink a lot and I spoon out the froth. And I play the spoons.

You sound like you need a nice cup of calming chamomile tea. :)

Here you go:

It doesn't matter how many times you stir, the important thing is to do it SILENTLY! Other people in the room shouldn't be able to hear it to count.

Ooh, I hadn't thought about direction. Think I may be flexible and magnanimousus on that point.

SUPERSTIRRERS - that's what you ritten bea
sts are called. Ugh.

Oi, kniddy, that's unknid.

Do you mean your accompanists in the musical sense? Are you a musician, OP, and your bass-player/violinist/trumpeter is a stirring obsessive?

I think I must stir mine about 20 times, and I'm a tapper and I slurp the first couple of mouthfuls really loudly because its too hot fancy popping over for a cuppa op

What? What have I done?

Ah, here is your cuppa.

Peace orf, LadyCC.

You knew what I meant. The people wot I am accompanying.

The ones thinking they're frigging Mike Old field on their Flat Whites.
