Irrational things that annoy you (and non irrational things too come to think of it) - Page 161

People who quote or reprint a passage of text exactly as it appeared in the original source.

Honestly, it makes me (sic)

Ba-dum, tish! There aren't many transcription-based jokes, yours is certainly...one of them.

People who leave teabags on the side despite the fact they're not going to use them again, I can understand if you might re-use it (weird enough but my mum does it and I can see a reason*) but if you're not going to use it again then why not take the 3 or so steps to the bin and dispose of it?

*She likes her tea weak, I think it's broadly the same way that some people like their steaks cooked, you've just got to show it the process rather than actually have something change about it. So now you've got a cup of hot water that's vaguely tea flavoured or a steak that's slightly warmed - a good vet could almost bring it back to life...

Because manufacturers of bin bags say not to put hot things in them?

If it has cooled down, then that excuse fails and you have a point.

I am a culprit of the tea bagging!

Nicht sehr gut.

On the odd occasion I will resuse them but I'd say 90% of the time I don't (especially seeing as I don't drink much tea! But it bugs me too that I do it and yet it's a habit now! An annoying one!

When people forget it's your birthday, especially when it shows up at the bottom of a forum that Tiggy is 30 today.

Maybe, still seems like a bit of a weak excuse though. I can see not putting hot coals in the bin bag but a teabag isn't likely to affect it much or to put it another way ever since I've lived away from home I've put tea bags straight in the bin and never had a bag fail because of that - because I've overloaded them or put in something sharp, sure but never from teabags.

Hey, it's an irrational thing, I'm just trying to justify it now.

Ah sorry. Happy Birthday, I hope you're having a great day despite that. My only excuse is that I never scroll that far down the forums.

I browse on my phone & always use 'new posts' not the front forum page, so never see it either. I just spotted it on FB x
