Drink Problem (Tea)

[Baggy]

My mug at work is really grubby. As soon as I've had one cup of tea in the morning it has dribbles all down the side, and I've noticed that no matter how carefully I sip, there is always a drip of tea on the lip. The inside is covered in tide marks.

Nobody else at work has this problem, their mugs are all shiny and lovely at the end of the day.

I'm worried that I sit and drool involuntarily down the side of my mug and everyone is too polite to mention it.

Does anyone else have this problem, or is it just me that mings?

yep it's just you.

[panto mode]Oh no she isn't![panto mode/]

Baggy, I have exactly the same problem. It is the sign of a real tea drinker!

The heathens you work with probably put the milk in first!

 

[Baggy]

That's been eliminated as an underlying cause - it's the first place I've ever worked where everyone is a water first/strong tea drinker. It's the only thing we all agree on...

 

[tdr1nka]

The point is do you sip your tea, or wait until it's cooled down and then quaff it?

I quaff tea which is a little less refined.

Does your workplace offer counselling? That could be the way forward on this matter.

 

[Baggy]

I am a sipper...but sip it hot...

Milk in tea

It's just occurred to me, that I always ask for black tea. Do you think I'm being politically incorrect?

get a mug with a pattern on it, it will be less noticeable.

Our cleaner trawls the workshop every Friday morning without fail for our cups, mutters something about health hazards, micro - eco environments, penicillin and how can you, before taking them away to be sterilised, sanitised, fumigated and sand blasted before returning them for another week of abuses. We all missed the clearing cups module of our training and our cleaner is a diamond.

We clean our own mugs, that way no-one nicks em.

And we clean them daily
