Comment: This trend of ‘you’re doing things wrong’ needs to stop
Ah, another day, another person telling us we're doing things wrong.
And in this case, we're all apparently making tea wrong.
The cheek of someone telling us Irish how to make tea… pfft.
I know it's a completely frivolous thing, but it really grinds my gears.
We're living in an age where people have the tools (hello, Internet) to voice their numerous opinions, and while this can be a fantastic thing, it also lends itself to utter sh*te.
Twitter users, who have no beauty expertise, are telling us how to wash our hair, and Instagram fans are giving out to mothers who give their kids a peck on the cheek – and it comes to a point when it's just so tiring and ridiculous.
And the latest in a long line of 'experts' is William Gorman, of the UK's Tea and Infusions Association, who has come out today to say that we're all ruining our beverages by reboiling the water.
He obviously hasn't heard of the water charges over here in Ireland…
But in all honestly, 1) we probably knew this in the first place and 2) do we really care?
William told The Telegraph: "Usually when people’s tea goes cold they reboil the kettle and make another cup. But doing this you are guaranteed to give yourself a dull cup of tea.
"You need freshly drawn water for a good cup because reboiling it takes out all the oxygen and nitrogen out of it."
When Cosmo commented on Will's views, they quipped "WHO KNEW," but we're giving the right old stance of 'who gives a f*ck'.
So, from now on, we're going to stop listening to all these 'experts' telling us that we're living our lives wrong, because guess what? We're going to live our lives the way we want to.
#RantOver… I'm going to reboil the kettle.
Oh, and while we have you; don't forget to have your say in the inaugural SHEmazing Awards this May! It's time to vote, and you can do it right here!
