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]

Soz.

If I ever meet you I'll be sure to accompany you on my mug with my teaspoon. I'll even do a drumming thing and tap the mug ? then the table ? then the mug ? then the table ? then the mug ...

YABU on the limited number of stirs allowed.

YANBU to find excessive stirring annoying. My DH positively WHISKS his tea. Please make it stop.

But surely it is the law to be musical with ones teaspoon?

I have been known to play a pleasing version of Gaudete on the spoon with my Christmassy cup of char...

My DH positively WHISKS his tea. Please make it stop.

I laughed at that MY dh pours water from on high and whisks to make his coffee froth

agreed, and if they(usually males) join it with clicking their false teeth fitment/plate ?well .... i now understand how it is friendships can be ended over the "simplest of things "!

Y.A.B.U. fact!

Oh, friffing bean, dawnti, that's a whole other thread!

Whistoers need to be plumbed, deeply and longly.

Double grr.

Is that you Chaos?
I stir my coffee continuously, especially in public because I can't have a fag.

Take a leaf out of Commander Bond's beverage manual and put drinky into shaker to avoid stirrage.

I bet you're a slurper though OP.

DD is a hummer. I quite like it well some of the time. How would she get on chez Gip?

I dont stir at all. Ever.

I stir my drinks many times. I play with pens. And I crack my fingers. I always seem to be needing to do stuff with my hands, actually. You and I would be great friends, OP :P

Yabu. I fecking hate it when someone makes me a cuppa, fails to stir adequately and I then have a drink which is not sweet enough at first and then is syrup for the bottom inch. Just stir the bastard drink properly!

YABU

Who cares how many times people stir their drinks

You'd LOVE my mum! She stirs a religious 10 times per cup, scraping it hard enough to leave silver swirls on the mug.

Is that you Chaos?

Are you ok?

I don't have sugar in my tea so I don't stir AT ALL

Can I be your best friend OP???

You'd hate my df. He used to say 34 was the right number of times to stir. I think (now) he was joking, but we'd do it very carefully counting for him.

DH: milk in, stir vigorously. Slurp a mouthful. More milk, stir again. Dunk biscuit. Swear when biscuit breaks off in cup. Fish biscuit out of hot cup with fingers, swear again at burnt fingers...
Growl...

Plastic spoon left over from weaning days. Can't hear the fucker in the cup:o

This drives my dh - normally the calmest and most tolerant of people - bananas!!! You are not alone op

dd likes to drink a cup of coffee with the spoon in the mug, which is just rude according to my upbringing. and dangerous, she might swallow the spoon, according to my dm
