Reply to comment by huskeya4 in LPT: Since April 1st is coming up. A good tip to live by is that everyone should be able to laugh at your prank at the end. If everyone ends up laughing at the person getting pranked, and they are just the punchline, chances are you're just being a jerk. Don't be a jerk. by moosepooo

…how did you get them on the counter without spilling them?

Put something thin and flat on top of the cup (like a drink coaster or something), flip it over, put in on the counter upside down, pull out the thing you put on top.

A sturdy piece of plastic. You cover the opening of the cup with it and flip the cup. Keep your hand under the plastic for support and the suction will keep the water inside. Then set the plastic right next to the edge of the counter and slide the cup off the plastic and onto the counter fairly quickly (the crack between the plastic and the counter can break the seal so move quick but don’t knock the cup over). Then wipe up the little bit of water trail that’s left behind. To pick the cup back up, just reverse the process.

or you could put a large pot next to the counter, then slide the glass off the edge, using the pot to catch the water.
