dirty cups, infact dirty cutlery full stop, anybody else think this is disgusting ??

i am told i am a bit weird because i like my cutlery spotless before using it
i simply can not eat/drink from manky stained cutlery, it puts me off.

at work the lads are quite happy to have a cuppa from a manky cup, i simply can not do it, i have been hiding one at the back of the rack that i have been keeping spotless but came in this morning for a cuppa and its full of coffe stains

its the same at home, wifey is happy to drink from them, but i have my own "special" cup at the back that i have had to ban anybody from using


was talking to my mate who runs a local carwash about this and he was telling me he asked the lads to politely clean the cups a few times, and they ignored him, asked them a few times with a bit of an angry shout, and they ignored him, so he "cleaned" them himself by fill them with bleach

apparently the cuppas the next day were minging

Can't stand dirty cups, plates, cutlery, basically anything that you need to eat with or off, if I see dirty stained cups I really want to hurl in it and put it back, it puts me off big style, how do people have stained cups??? All mine at home aren't stained

Water marks on cutlery I don't mind but any traces of food and that's it dropped back to where it came from, goes the same for plates etc.

It doesn't happen at home coz I wash it all anyways, but I've noticed when out somewhere and getting food or drink something manky turns up

Tea mug gets a wash once a week



its the heavy soiling of the rooibos see - no point in doing it daily

Heavy soiling of summit else if youre not careful...................washed once a week..............is there a water shortage

a lad at my old place would deliberately not wash his cup to prevent it from being "borrowed" and trust if you did you would have to spend at least a month in quarantine.

Yeah, it's well gross. When my lodger washes the dishes I have to rewash them as they're always still covered in bits of food or washing up liquid that hasn't been washed off, does my nut in.
I mean I don't want them all to be ultra super germ/dirt free so that I could take them into a room where they build satelites. I'd just like to eat a shepherds pie and not taste curry or Fairy liquid, lol.

tea mug at work leaves a lot to be desired

My workshop mug is never washed, i like all other crockery etc spotless though.

always has to be spotless for me, tea tastes better out of a nice clean mug. Always use the same one as well, have one for home and work

A good dose of food poisoning usually changes the attitude of people with low standards of hygeine.
Maybe you could arrange some for them?

but you need to swollow some filth occasionally to build up some resistance

That sounds so wrong.

I can't believe how everyone is so obsessive

I insist on using a fresh cup once before loading it into the dishwasher. On it's own. Turned to highpower setting

Whatever happened to the days of spitting in a glass to polish it?

Actually, that still happens in pubs. That's why they 'wash' the glasses in a seperate room

And you can't guarantee that the bar staff washed their hands before cutting the fruit

I dont mind re-using my own tea mug, but anything must be absolutely spotless.

ScoobyWon't

A tip for the ladies.

Pun intended

once did a gardening job for a little old lady after drinking tea for three days (from a rank cup) i went into the kitchen, only to see a pile of used/reused tea bags about head hight from the work top and a tea pot stuffed with them :Puke:

redragon

might to the docs with that 1 might get some time off

ScoobyWon't

Does anyone re-use the tea-bag?

I never wash my tea mug at work, although during my two week break (which is every 8 weeks) someone must crack and clean it because it is always shiney when I get back . It has near boiling water poured in it 4 times a day when I'm in, so nothing nasty will be growing in it...

redragon

have been known too use same tea bag twice when we are running low at work

Shark Man

Nothing worse than going to a pub or restaurant for a meal and getting a fork with crusty food remains stuck inbetween the prongs

And beer glases that haven't been dried properly (upright or the machine ran out of rinse agent). Which results in getting a whiff of dog slobber half way through my pint

This thread is making me want to gag!

I can't bear stained anything!

I wash my cutlery / pots before they go in the dishwasher - don't ask me why.

working theory is that you're a bleeding lunatic.

but don't quote me on this.

*cough* OCD *cough*


Oh, as to re-using tea bags - aren't you meant to with Yorkshire tea? I never do - I use one bag per cup as it's the only way to get a decent strength tea without having to wait 5 minutes

Good man! Give that 6 months and it'll be perfection

oldsplice

Jeez!

Does it make that horrible scraping sound when you stir it instead of a nice clean 'clinky' sound?
