Gaaaaaaahhhhhh

Stop. Fucking. Stirring. Your. Bastard. Cup. Of. Tea.

Sorry, just need to vent for a second. Got a house guest who is pretty challenging. It's half past midnight here and she's made herself a cup of tea. She doesn't even take sugar, but she had stirred the bloody thing for the past two minutes making THE MOST amount of clicky spoon clatter I've ever heard. I have never ever experienced anyone stir for so long and so viciously!! I'm laying in bed biting my sheets because it's the last straw! I know I'm being unreasonable, really. But does anyone else have stories of visitors doing things that get right under your skin?

The way my dad drinks tea in the mornings gets me! Raise cup to lips, blow on surface, takes a little slurpy sip, then smacks his lips. Repeat ad infinitum till tea is finished (takes a long time because they really are tiny little sips!)

*or until tea is finished

No. I never have house guests.

Yours must be bonkers. There's no need to stir a cup of tea for two minutes even if it has got sugar in it. When it hasn't it's even bonkerser.

Perhaps she's trying to get your attention deliberately. Maybe she wants to talk to you.

On the other hand, maybe she's got a death wish, because that does sound incredibly annoying.

Oh God Crohn that would have my eye twitching!

I may resort to hiding all the teaspoons! and somehow turning off the plumbing in the kitchen so she can't turn in the water to fill the kettle EVERY TIME I take a shower, resulting in me getting sprayed with a Jerry of freezing cold water

Jerry?! No spraying Jerrys here. I meant jet!

Oh dear, DropYourSword, I'm beginning to think that your guest doesn't like you.

You could try making sure there's water in the kettle before you go for a shower. Hopefully she won't come up with yet another way of tormenting you.

Oh but she had many ways, Grunt!

Plastic spoons? + earmuffs

My dad bashing the spoon umpteen times against the inside of the cereal before taking each spoonful!! I once saw this described in a novel as it sounding "like 2 skeletons fighting in a biscuit barrel"

My dad does that too Laurel...It's like he's trying to scrape the pattern off the bowl! AND he slams his teeth together when he chews!
