Love the advert though where they suggest someone just with a bowl of tomatoes is in a massive rush

Agreed. I’m worried I’ll use the wrong function and lose a hand/have cool water.

I spend most weekdays WFH and making hot drinks. It might end up being my “10,000 Hours of Practice = World Class Specialist” area of expertise…

Chuck a bag tea in a vessel, splosh a load of burning liquid on it. Stab it with a thing, fish it out with your fingers, spill milk, done.

Won’t you even swoosh mid-stab?

Haha, yeah, I’ll give it a bit of a dunk and a swirlyswoosh.

I was going to post something really boring about my tea-making routine but I’ve censored myself.

Well, I’ll tell you, seeing as you didn’t ask.

Once a week, I work in a different office to my normal one. I have my own supply of teabags and milk - but no spoon. HOWEVER, the teabags are PG Tips pyramid bags, which have a nice handy corner that floats just above the surface. So I can give the bag a bit of a swoosh around the mug and then remove it without scalding myself.

next time instead of a swoosh you should give it a shoogle :upside_down:

Dire. Worst part of working in hospitality was making hot drinks cos I was so shit at it

#57

:confused: basically all anyone wants from hospitality of any sort, too

#58

Luckily I worked in a shit pub and could occasionally get away with telling customers ‘you don’t want one of my hot chocolates’

It’s in lieu of a banal thread

i was doing an office temp job once and got asked to make coffees for someone’s meeting. i didn’t particularly want to but went and did it.
i took them to the woman running the meeting and she said “were we running out of milk?” “no, that’s just how i make coffee.” “oh, really sorry, they’re not to my taste” and she went and remade them. she didn’t ask again.
lesson learned: if you don’t want to do something, be crap at it and you won’t have to do it more than once
