The Beached Tea Bags

I know its a little thing, but this epidemic is absolutely disgusting and inexcusable. My mother did point out once that she does this because she makes very weak tea and actually re-uses the bags (I also think that is disgusting), but most people just do this because they’re lazy.

And leaving the spent bags in the sink, although neater from a visual and wet-spot prevention perspective, is just as bad.

The thing is, that my vehemence regarding this particular crime has promoted backlash. I once drew the scorn of two past female housemates who collected an entire day’s worth of spent bags, which I later found in my room that night when I went to bed, hanging from the wooden bed head like the corks around the rim of a stockman’s hat.

Needless to say that has just served to fuel my campaign for the eradication of this heinous crime.
