I don’t think I’d feel comfortable if they didn’t do this.
Im a mum and i do this
Me and my best bud do this. But we are someone else’s Mum & Dad. Lol
The bin is so far away
I’ve got a dish for them next to the kettle. If you put the hot teabags straight in the bin all it does is create a sweaty stinky condensation-y situation.
My wife insisted we got one when we got married. I hate it.
Stops the bin getting sweaty inside. Apparently.
I have a bin. They go in the bin. It’s about 3 feet away.
Guilty.
My bf does this. I only drink coffee so I hate having little piles of crap around.
My kids’ parents do this. Yeah it’s to stop the bin getting all wet and gross, and to stop the tea drips on the floor carrying the bag from the kettle to the bin
My mum does this so she can reuse the teabags. She gets ten cups of tea out of each one.
We build the leaning tower of pisa on a daily basis in a soup sized bowl – what can I say? we drink a lot of tea, there is no shame!
Mine is a Gü pot – they have so many uses and I have another as a coin/change pot reserved for taxi drivers and the ice cream man.
It’s not just mum and dads. My wife is 34 and leaves all her teabags to mature before she bins them. She’s even got a special little tray shaped like a teapot for them made by Le Creuset.
The ever useful Gü pots are great for this.

My parents saved their tea leaves and coffee grounds for ‘compost’ which was religiously tipped on a flowerbed outside the back door after a few days.
It keeps tea stains off the counter. Teabags drip when pulled out of a cup. Perfectly reasonable way to prevent annoying problem.
I do this.
It stops the bin having sweaty bin juice in, especially with the quantity of teabags used in my house on a daily basis.
I empty it before bed when I’m doing the nightly kitchen wipe down.
Once a month my plants get a tea treat to help the soil. (I don’t know the science but my grandad taught me it and his plants were incredible)
Was feeling nostalgic, and tried to find a dupe of the special dish we had by the kettle for our sweaty tea bags when I was young….
It wasn’t this one.
…why am I mum and dad now???
I mean….it’s *where* they go, sadistic torment letting them dry out and playing Jenga with them until I fits no more. 😂👴
We used to drop the used tea bags straight in the food recycling box. The end result of THAT was soggy rotten bags which tore when you looked at them.
By letting the tea bags dry out in the pot, as above, removes that problem

Are you saying you *don’t* do this?

I love putting my teabag next to the bin
