The clink of anything unexpectedly bumping my teeth is unrealistically disturbing.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I was lucky, i was slow and steady, yet fully unaware of my teeth, so while it didn't hurt I burnt myself
The notion of burning yourself with tea confused me for a minute.
The rim shape of glasses can have a surprising effect on how we perceive flavor and temperature even if it’s not bonking you in the teeth and drenching you.
The rims of my tea mugs are flared outward and if I try to tilt it back too far or take too big a drink it pushes my bottom lip down and spills down my front. You’d think I would have adapted after ten years of owning them, or at least bought new ones, but this is a daily struggle.
Especially in a world of adult-marketed sippy cups, I respect your struggle. If it ever becomes too much, those would make charming additions to a mosaic.
Thank you. The bird on the mug judges me. I appreciate the encouragement of strangers.
Is it a hot tea?
Yeah
Will you ever recover?
I drink it warmer than others so it just hurt like fuck, but nothing more
That's a bummer! Do you have a favorite tea mug? I'm still looking for the perfect one, needs to be big and wide but those are usually a little bit too thick at the same time.
Look up Turkish tea glasses, I think it's called tulip glasses
What kind of tea are we talking about?
Earl Gray, hot.
