Plastic spoons and used teabags

There are a variety of modern facilities in the works' kitchen here at base number 2: fridge; hot water dispenser; microwave; dishwasher; cutlery; bin, to name but a few. For some reason, somebody keeps putting a plastic teaspoon in the sugar bowl - despite the fact that there are oodles of steel ones in the drawer. I put these nasty plastic things in the bin at every opportunity. Leaving things like that in sugar bowls constitutes a health hazard in my book, and if you need to leave something in the sugar bowl, why not use one of the hundreds of steel spoons? I just think that you use a fresh spoon to dole out your coffee, the same spoon to dole out your sugar and then you use the same spoon to stir your drink - the spoon should then go in the dishwasher (or sink) and not, not, NOT on the work surface or draining board.

Similarly, if you make a cup of tea, put the used teabag in the fucking bin - don't put it in a used mug that's been left on the draining board. Seriously, how difficult is it to put a used item in the bin? It's the same as the sealing tags off the milk bottles - they never find their way in the bin either and they just end up lying about on the worktop. I'd like to find the culprit(s) so I could have the opportunity to interrogate them and try to discover their motivation and reasoning for this behaviour. There probably isn't a reasonable explanation. To coin a phrase - some people are just complete fucktards.

Oh yeah, and tea and coffee spillages left to dry out on the worktop too. That's just bloody lazy.
