ready for the cup, nice fresh, tea bag? Never can it be accurately thrown from cupboard into waiting cup. If they made them easier to pilot it would help me save at least half a second a day!

I have considered moving the tea store closer to the kettle but its the challange of it that gets me every time.

It is very satisfying when they land inside, a complete pisser when you miss and the bloody thing ends up on the floor to collect the inevitable dog hairs biggrin

Throwing the sugar into the cup is harder - so many individual bits...I still have not managed to get ALL of them in

There's your problem. Tea should be made in a pot.

Speaking of throwing teabags.. Back when I worked at EA, and were testing BF2 online, it was the 'in thing' to 'teabag' someone once they died.. Cue me throwing teabags across the room at people...

Try throwing a single a4 sheet onto your colleagues desk just out of reach, it somehow never goes on the desk and often comes back in your direction further than your original position.

I now just screw it up and throw it at her.

Throwing tea bags into cups is easy, just aim a cup further than you want it and it goes in.

The things you learn in the office after being told that you're going to be redundant in a month is quite amazing.

You need to move the teabags into the cupboard above where you make the tea. Then drill an inch and half hole through the base of the cupboard and then place your upturned teabag box above said hole.

Position mug under hole and hey-presto a tea bag dispenser! I'm sure you could make it infra-red controlled automation on a bored day, saving even more vital nanoseconds...

The answer is obvious.

Change your teacup/mug for a bucket.

Depends whether we are talking about round or pyramid teabags. Round teabags are just like frisbees.

I can throw a teabag in the air, then with the same hand, pick up a mug and catch the teabag again.
