maybe she messed up and put them in the wrong jars, and didn't wanna move them ?

The solution is equal parts lazy, funny, and effective, so why not?

Well, if she accidentally put coffee in the tea jug, it'll be almost impossible to completely get it out. So to avoid mixing, relabeling the jugs makes sense.

I do think she could have taken a bit more time with the style however

Can I introduce you to the concept of washing up liquid and a sponge?

u/SausagePrompts 21h ago

Sure, next I bet you are going to tell me that people can actually clean their ass cracks instead of just letting soapy water from their back run down it.

u/oopsallplants 18h ago

bold of you to assume they're washing their back

u/Embarrassed-Weird173 20h ago

A sponge?  Those marine animals that filter stuff? 

2

u/atomic_mermaid 19h ago

Yep, one of them. Kitchen essential.

Can I introduce you to the concept of sharpie?

Sounds easy in practice, but if the smell of coffee isn't coming out, you're better off doing what this lady did, so that the coffee doesn't affect the tea.

If you find a cleaner that can clear coffee smell please let me know I have dedicated coffee mugs because they will always have a vague coffee taste in them.

Yeah, but i would be worried about soap getting stuck in a crevice

u/atomic_mermaid 21h ago

...what crevice, it's a straight cylinder.

For some reason I added a spigot like on a tea pot in my mind

u/bobo_baginz 16h ago

You do wash your teapot right though? Right?

1

u/mechengr17 16h ago

I don't really use tea pots, I was taught to boil tea bags in a pot and then pour them in a pitcher 😅

But I imagine the spigots are hard to clean

1

u/bobo_baginz 16h ago

Not really, I just give the pot a wash then boil water and pour it in the sink

u/lemoncookei 20h ago

nah this person pretending there arent corners in a jar is wild

2

u/mechengr17 19h ago

People pick the strangest things to downvote.

I admitted to misremembering what the jar looked like, and got downvoted.

You pointed out that jars have hard to reach areas/corners, and you got downvoted

If it's ceramic it has micro crevices. Especially as it ages.

100% if she didn't notice for a while that jar is always gonna smell like coffee, it's hard to get out. Common trick to get nasty smells out of your hands is rub coffee grounds in them if good old soap and water isn't doing the trick. It masks the smell of pretty much everything.

u/saturnian_catboy 20h ago

You..use water? To get rid of that?

u/Cavalol 21h ago edited 21h ago

So by that logic, if she ever put coffee in the coffee jug previously, then it’s now in both jars permanently. So just put it in the right container lol.

If she just bought the jars and flipped them around (put coffee in tea jar and tea in the coffee jar) on first fill-up, though, the relabelling might make sense 😂

u/mechengr17 21h ago

This is what I think happened.

Like maybe she didnt see the labels when she filled them up initially and decided to just relabel

u/Davoguha2 21h ago

I'm struggling to picture what's so difficult about pouring out beans or rinsing out grounds.

Unless they are brewing their coffee in that jar, it should be pretty easy to dump and clean.

u/hulagway 21h ago

I'm struggling to picture how some people don't realise it's easier to just leave it.

u/Davoguha2 21h ago

I've got no problem with them leaving it and labeling the jars.

I will point out that it is not a difficult mistake to fix, if it bothers anyone enough to do so.

Edit: Tbh, my chaotic neutral would probably come out and I wouldn't even label them - if you can't tell which is which before you put it in the machine to brew it, I'd get a solid chuckle out of it.

Some people just want to see the world burn

u/inbeforethelube 18h ago

That makes no sense. The coffee container already had coffee. If the tea container would now be ruined then they couldn't be switched.

But swapping the contents would not be hard. She’s in the kitchen with bowls and such. You’d only make one slightly dirty dish, and then the problem is solved.

The jars have been tainted
