[cite]Posted By: McBobbin[/cite]People who make tea in this order: milk in cup, teabag in cup, water in cup.
If you must make it in the cup, brew the tea then remove the bag, then add milk!
Or use a teapot.
Dont do it myself, but that is the old fashioned way, as it prevents the delicate bone china from cracking as boiling water is poured into it.
Obviously in these days, you should put tea bag in, then water, wait a little bit and slowly add milk until it is the desired strength.

Exactly ... in my house the milk goes in first ...
In the olden days they wouldn't have teabags, but loose leaf tea brewed in a teapot with boiling water. By all means put milk in the cup first - in fact, please put the milk in the cup first, for the reason given - but only if the tea is brewed in a teapot. That is meant to be, yesiree.
If you add milk before the hot water into a cup, it cools down and makes it harder to extract said tea from said bag. Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong.
I also get annoyed by people who leave the teaspoon in the mug so it gets hot and burns me when I try to remove it.
If it wasn't for the fact I end up with a cup of tea, I'd go postal.
May I also add Essex CCC's batting lineup to my list of irritations? They are about as potent as an attack comprising Izale McCleod and Mark McCammon ("with those names and skills, you'd think they'd be Scottish").
People at bus stops who step into the road so they can see further down it to see if the next bus is coming , it ain't gonna speed up when it sees you is it
Kids in pubs. I went to our local for a quiet drink with the missus on Friday evening but it more like having a beer in the middle of some Charlie Chalks Fun Factory nightmare. It's the only thing smoking in pubs was good for.
the people who change the tv's over in the north upper at halftime. some of us want to see what paddy powell and big dave are up to not sit through jeff stelling and the cast of seasme street getting over excited about wigan v blackpool. ;-)

Kids in supermarkets. They are alright once the get to about 7+ but before that they wander all over the show never looking where they're going and completely oblivious to whom they are blocking. Buy you try knocking one down with your trolley and the parents will give you disbelieving stares as if it's you fault - and that's event before you've reversed back over them.
When a shop doesn't have what you want and the seemingly helpful shop assistant volunteers to go on the internet for you, and then proceeds to demonstrate the i.t. awareness of a blind geriatric chimp using a company website that is always "down". If I'd wanted to waste half an our of my time watch some imbecile looking for hyperlinks like a two year old searching for Where's Wally, I'd have asked my senile old aunt to go on the net for me.
Cyclists who don't stop at red lights and who nearly cut you in half at zebra crossings. Kids on rush hour trains during the school holidays. Picking up the phone and a recorded voice says 'don't hang up...' click. And one which has just happened, opening a pint of milk and the little tab to pull the plastic cover getting stuck in the lid which means you've got to prise the bloody thing off with your nails.
