to think that a GLASS of jeffing tea is NOT THE SAME

[SilentBoob]

I was offered a cup of tea. A CUP of tea. CUP.

I have just been given the most delicious looking brew... in a fucking GLASS. It's mug shaped, but it's SEE THROUGH. Frosted, with a seam up the handle. It was a freebie advertising a housing loan. AND IT'S NOT THE SAME AS A CUP OF TEA. It's ruined everything.

Should I leave the bastard?

It depends.

Are having milk in it?

[crucial]

yes.

It's ok if you are having proper Russian or Persian tea from a samaver (no milk) or mint tea with proper mint leaves.

Anything else is just wrong. Especially coffee in a glass.

Who have it to you? Do they know that you are on here dissing their tea?

Glass cups remind me of my late Gran, I love them because of this. Sorry

I like those brown glass ones you only get in staff canteens and caravans. There's something a bit dangerous and exciting about having a glass of tea.

My first thought was that YANBU - there are various unbreakable rules about tea and not being in a glass is one of them - but if it is mug-shaped, with a handle, then.... how can I put this? If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, etc., . Now, drink it up before it gets cold

It's a cup of PG with milk. IN A GLASS.

Does he know I'm dissing his tea? He probably assumes as much given that I've chuntered for 5 minutes and am now quiet and typing furiously.

Is the tea bag still in there?

Leave the bastard. Still wearing the tea.

SilentBoob YANBU but you have too much time on your hands!!

So this it DP? So the mug is in your home? Why do you have such an article?

Insult to injury; have just gone to the mug cupboard for something better to pour the brew into... my lion and giraffe mug was RIGHT THERE at the front of the cupboard. He reached past it to get the glass.

It's not a shiny brown canteen mug / glass. It's more like a tankard.

YABU, you used to get brown glass ones when I was young, i thought they were very exotic.

Time on my hands - well yes, breastfeeding a 2 week old baby

He's trying to tell you something.

I went to a new hairdresser and the salon gave me a mug of tea in a glass mug. Not in an endearingly dated old-canteen-tea-cups type way but a look-how-alternative-we-are-with-glass-mugs type way.

I did not return.

SilentBoob you are killing me. I would do the exact same thing! Make sure you tell him how rediculous he is. Everyone knows when you make a brew for someone the first choice is always their own mug.

Often I am offered a cup of tea and what I get is a mug.

YANBU to think it is not the same

Y might be BU to complain if this glass mug is larger than "a cup" - you might have more tea this way.

X-post. Congratulations.

Frontpaw is right. He is preparing to drop a bombshell then leave you.
Get in there first. Tell him to leave and take his glass of tea with him.

I love the sound of a tankard of tea. I wish my DH could be bothered to serve tea in unpredictable and varied receptacles. I might leave the bastard.

It's a metaphor

No no BusinessTrills, the mug is not the point, the GLASSNESS of the mug is the drama.

You have a DH who makes you tea when your BFing - YABU- I had to die of thirst while BFing as a glass of water was too much to ask- keep this one train him about mug etiquette and move on to tea in the morning in bed- one step at a time
