Originally we would warm up the teacup with some beer, but some people wouldn't quit complaining about the flavor profile.

Lets just be open and honest about this whole thing. What are you savages doing adding milk to tea in the first place? Tea leaves, boiling water, done. Maybe honey or sugar if you feel fancy. Milk...what are we babies that need a widdle cweam in our dwink? Toughen up.

Adding anything at all to tea just ruins the flavour and makes it taste like water with whatever you added heavily diluted. If you brew tea properly, even cheap stuff, it should be sweet on its own.

Many (most?) Americans who think milk is disgusting in tea, tried it with Lipton and discovered that yes, that's disgusting. But that's because Lipton isn't normal tea... it's formulated to make good iced tea, which is a different beast altogether. If you buy a decent loose leaf Indian style black tea, brew it, and then add a bit of milk, it's very very nice that way. The casein in milk bonds to tea catechins and chemically alters it. You can brew tea in water with the milk already in it - that's how chai is properly made - but you must simmer it for longer, and the flavor is going to be quite different. Also, research has suggested adding milk removes the health benefits of drinking tea: https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn10913-milk-wrecks-the-health-benefits-of-tea/ However, that ten-year-old study which has been widely referenced turns out to be a gross oversimplification: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24001682

People not rinsing dishes is news to me and seems absolutely insane, you're not actually washing the dishes and you're leaving a mix of dirt and soap on everything. Do these same people just jump in the shower, turn it off, soap up, and jump out and dry off with a towel??? It's not like wiping standing up or sitting down, it's just not washing your rear end at all. "I just rub a bar of soap on my rear end and call it a day"

Also kind of gross to me: having a bubble bath and then not rinsing in the shower afterwards. Actually baths are pretty gross anyway unless you shower first. I mean super relaxing and still quite nice, but try not to think about the fact your anus is immersed in the same water you're sticking your face in.

I was a kid who had never done dishes before and needed a glass but they were all dirty. I took a glass from the sink, put soap on it, washed it, then rinsed it because why would I want to drink soap? I must not have rinsed it 100% because there was a hint of soap taste, so I re-rinsed it. When doing dishes you can feel when there's still soap on the dish, you rinse until it's squeaky clean otherwise that might be soap or food grease still on the plate. This is some basic "fire hot!" level poo poo.

I guess the people who can't figure out how to wash a cup in the first place are the ones who voted for Brexit/don't know ACA=Obamacare.

I also never understood drying dishes, but apparently in some places the water is all hosed up and leaves stains if you just let them dry on their own? Also putting wet dishes away in the cupboard is a good way to gently caress up your cabinets. When I was a teen I knew some dudes who had rotting moldy lovely cupboards because they'd just throw their wet poorly washed dishes right in and close it up. Oh they also stored bread and cereal and poo poo in the same cupboards they'd be loading with dripping wet dishes.

That's why you've got stuff like Jet Dry. If it's only a few dishes, we've got a drying rack. Lately, we've just taken to doing a light rinse, and putting them in the dishwasher, all to be washed at the end of the day. Keeps the sink from filling up.

If we're going down the handwashing derail, we can talk about the lovely motion-activated sinks, soap dispensers, and paper towel dispensers / blow driers that never loving work. Just give me a drat foot pedal for the water, and I'm not afraid to touch the soap dispenser because I'm literally about to wash my hands. I've had to walk out without washing my hands because I couldn't get any drat water in some places. For drying, at least I can wipe them on my pants in a worse case.

Is that a loving Cambro pan? I've never seen those outside of foodservice in my life. I never realized how wrongly I washed my hands until I worked at Subway and the Safeway deli. Re: dish chat, see foodservice mention above. Between those two shitholes, lack of PPE, and piping hot water, my hands were a red, swollen, cracked, bleeding mess. Something about the soaps and sanitizers just reacted really poorly with me. All that worked was Eucerin, and only slightly; and since then, it's always resurged if I try to hand-wash dishes at home. We have one dishpan and let stuff soak, which I rinse (if necessary) and load into the dishwasher after dinner to run during the night.

If you touch your weiner when you piss, you should probably wash your hands first. Your hands have been touching all manner of surfaces and maybe people and animals and whatnot and they're filthy from the get-go. Similarly, people who worry about the door handle on the way out of the restroom have it backwards. The handle on the way in has been touched by a lot of people who haven't washed their hands yet (and a lot who need to), and now you're gonna directly provide a vector from that surface to your genitalia? But really actually we're a cleanliness-obsessed society and we're suffering enormous blowback in many ways for being way too worried about germs.
