I saw a woman whilst out today, who added her sugar to her, granted individual-sized, teapot.

That's beresk, non?

It's odd but not berserk.

My DH did that last week at home by accident - but he was underpressure and a bit stressed at the time.

I laughed and called him an eejit.

maybe she fancied trying something a little 'different' and 'risque'?

It would be berserk- and really rude and inconsiderate- had it been tea to share with others, but, as it was an individual pot, a little offbeat but not berserk.

But, admit it, it was when she got up and poured the milk over her head, jumped up and down 3 times and sang 'I will survive' to the tune of 'Angels' by Robbie Williams that your 'nutjob' antennae REALLY got set off.

unusual but if it's only you having the tea, why not?

Good grief, whatever kind of cafe were you in?

My DP put milk in the tea pot once, I taught him the error of his ways!

I disagree wamster, I think her intention was to corrupt.

She knew people could see her, and was following her sinister gameplan.

Sugar would dissolve quicker/better in tea without milk.

SenoritaViva · 26/07/2011 16:34

I would hate it if sharing the pot (hate sugary tea). Maybe with lumps a whole lump is too much so she thought she'd 'dilute' by putting it in the pot?

bit strange but maybe she has OCD about having the exact same amount of sugar for all tea she pours from a particular pot? I can sort of understand it in a way Blush

my brother used to make tea by putting the milk and water together in the kettle and boiling them up together - now THAT's weird

Was it a spoonful of sugar, or a sugar cube? I don't know why, but I feel this makes a difference.

Hpon - didn't it spew out of the spout when it boiled?

It's irregular, granted, but in an individual pot for one person ... fine by me.

Yes, you wouldn't want that hot sticky liquid all over you, would you allhail
