You can easily get another cm in there and not be at significant risk of spilling it and I'm dyspraxic so more likely than the average person to just randomly fuck up carrying a cup of tea.

I'd go 5mm gap if you're not leaving the room with it, 7mm if you're nearby on the same floor, 10mm if you're up or down stairs, or far away :)

I had never figured to leave more of a gap if going upstairs but it makes a lot of sense...

Hi fellow dyspraxic! How many things have you banged into today?

[–] Denjin@feddit.uk 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago (4 children)

When my wife makes me a brew, she only fills it to 3/4. Now I just decline her offers and make them myself. What's crazy is that she'll fill her cup to the normal amount; and I'm not known for spilling my drinks.

Gonna be real, if someone is petty enough to comment on how much tea is in my mug I'm never talking to them again

My first thought was that that looks only like 1cm, but with the tape measure there I'm going to have to conclude that the mug is GIANT

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Loving the fact they included the tape measure in the pic.

I'm also dyspraxic so I'd probably drop the tape measure into the cup, causing it to spill and then I'll realise that was the last teabag 

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Also dyspraxic. I could never risk filling the cup that high, it's going to go everywhere.

Are adult tippy cups socially acceptable?

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 1 points 2 days ago

Be the change you want to see.

[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

I fill it to the absolute brim and just walk slowly from the kitchen to my living room.

[–] harmbugler@piefed.social 8 points 2 days ago

Nice colour too.

You know this content was brought to VeryBritishProblems by a spy when they talk about tea and CENTIMETERS.
