Consistently sweetened beverages, and uniform mugs
I cannot abide those lazy buggers who don't stir tea and coffee thoroughly. Most recently, this morning at work a chap made me a coffee and it was just fucking awful: he obviously didn't stir the thing at all after he'd added the sugar. I was left with dark watery sludge that was too bitter at the start and too sweet at the end.

I stir like a motherfucker. Seriously, I stir for about a minute, and I don't stop until I've created a nice smooth whirlpool effect that will keep the tea/coffee spinning long after I've (delicately) removed the spoon (slowly, so that no tea/coffee remains on the spoon after withdrawal). People look at me like I'm weird, but by God do they get consistently sweetened beverages that taste like a dream.

The funny looks may also be due to me having to use uniform mugs no matter how many teas I'm making, and then line them up on the counter with the handles at the same angle. I don't know why. This necessity for uniformity doesn't really permeate any other part of my life; just mugs. But I can have up to eight identical mugs, positioned just so, lined up in front of me as I thoroughly stir each one.

You deserve crap tea/coffee
for adding sugar to them.

How very reasonable.

It is indeed

"But still, how can you call yourself a true tealover if you destroy the flavour of your tea by putting sugar in it? It would be equally reasonable to put in pepper or salt." -George Orwell

Was he referring to instant, or the fancy stuff?
Also, I'm not a tealover, and wouldn't seek to call myself that.

Quite disappointing
that he finished the list with "Lastly" and not "Eleventhly"

Surely you have to stir it an equal amount of times in each direction to the same degree to even it out.
