No no no Maryz! If tea has to be slurped in order to be enjoyed at the correct boiling hot temperature, then so be it. Can't blame anyone for avoiding a lukewarm cup of tea half way down the mug.

Your accompanists? Do you really need a brass band to cheer you on stirring a cup of coffee? A full meal with you must be interesting...

I divorced on the grounds of the stir-stir-stir-chink-chink-chink on the side of the cup.

I like to blow (my drink that is). I have a limited time in the morning to knock back an espresso, eat a crumpet and sort out a packed lunch before leaving the house. Is it OK that I do some blowing so I can get my caffeine fix down me quickly?

You actually notice how much people stir their hot drinks?

Is it too late for you to retrain in forensics, or something?

dd likes to drink a cup of coffee with the spoon in the mug, which is just rude according to my upbringing. and dangerous, she might swallow the spoon, according to my dm

DH: milk in, stir vigorously. Slurp a mouthful. More milk, stir again. Dunk biscuit. Swear when biscuit breaks off in cup. Fish biscuit out of hot cup with fingers, swear again at burnt fingers...
Growl...

You'd hate my df. He used to say 34 was the right number of times to stir. I think (now) he was joking, but we'd do it very carefully counting for him. Grin

You'd LOVE my mum! She stirs a religious 10 times per cup, scraping it hard enough to leave silver swirls on the mug.

Yabu. I fecking hate it when someone makes me a cuppa, fails to stir adequately and I then have a drink which is not sweet enough at first and then is syrup for the bottom inch. Just stir the bastard drink properly!

I stir my drinks many times. I play with pens. And I crack my fingers. I always seem to be needing to do stuff with my hands, actually. You and I would be great friends, OP :P

Take a leaf out of Commander Bond's beverage manual and put drinky into shaker to avoid stirrage.
