Instead of placing it in the bin?

Sometimes I leave the teabag out in case I've made the tea too weak. That way I can put the bag back in and give it another stir.

But then it goes in the bin. I don't leave it on the sink, or IN the sink, but I know people who do.

Does scientology say it has to go in the bin?

Because Xenu told them to Tom so you should do it too.

obviously so they can put the plug in the sink,fill it up with water,and add some lemons to make litres of ice tea.Duh.

I put mine in a ramekin dish and make another cuppa with it!

Johro · 12-10-2012 05:03PM

I don't 'place' it anywhere. I just fire it at the wall.

Matt_Trakker · 12-10-2012 05:04PM

either I'm stuck in the matrix or this thread was here 2 weeks ago

If you put it in the bin straightaway it'll drip on the floor.

Don't come here with your la-di-da ways. Ramekin, indeed. :mad:

so it wont drip on the floor on the way to the bin ,i put mine into a bowl for food scraps that then goes into the brown bin

CrazyRabbit · 12-10-2012 05:07PM

To leave it to dry out a bit before putting it in the plastic bin bag.

I brew the arse out of each tea-bag 500 times, then I shove it in a pipe and smoke it.

1. Bring the cup to the bin with the tea bag in it.

2. Open bin.

3. Hold cup over bin so rogue drips fall into bin.

4. Squeeze teabag against inside of cup above water line

5. Drop into bin.

6. Sorted.

my moths family do this. the funny thing is, they have to walk past the bin to get to the sink!

audman · 12-10-2012 05:12PM

I leave it in the cup, the tea spoon doesnt even come in to the equation, drop of milk. The tea gets stronger and stronger as I drink it, yum! As for where I put it when I'm finished, bin

Or out the back "for the birds" :P

When we were back in school, many moons ago, there was a guy in our class with a brown patch on the side of his face (Birthmark). I remember one time, we were wondering where it came from and one of the lads said (We were 10, or thereabouts):

"I heard when he's bold, his dad ties a wet teabag to a piece of string and beats him with it."

Loose tea FTW

PizzamanIRL · 12-10-2012 05:16PM

I have sweet potatoes cooking now, should be done in 15mins. I'm starving.

I thought that by now some enterprising Wicklow woman would have brought in imported bin liners from Kilkenny

Okay I lied.
In a small glass bowl beside the kettle, when that gets full it gets emptied in compost bin.

I do this because in the parents gaf all the teabags go in the sink. We have a gorilla / insinkerator which ate them up.

:eek: The parents?

In my mums the tea bag goes into the sink, they have an insinkerator.

I don't drink tea at home, but when I do I put it in the bin.
