    The really offensive part is having >2 liters of milk, per person, in a work fridge. What the fuck do you need so much for? I bet that fridge smells like a mix of spoiled milk and utter distrust for other human beings.

      It is British milk. Even as a Brit myself it astonishes me how much tea some people drink in a day. That shit must literally ooze from the pores of some people.

        I used to drink ten to eleven cups of tea in the UK per day. I quit caffeine for a while because of the headaches. I somehow never put it together that this drug I keep putting into my system would affect my brain …

        Huh. Here in NZ tea, (instant) coffee, milk (and usually Milo as well) are virtually always provided by an employer (only by social convention, as far as I can tell, not a legal requirement). I kinda assumed Britain would be the same since we must have got the custom from somewhere.

          In the US most employers used to provide coffee and some kind of creamer free for employees.

          About 25-30 years ago the capitalists realized their employees wouldn’t quit over not having free coffee, so they stopped providing free coffee.

          Maybe you got the custom from them, but they have decivilized while y’all have maintained?

        so I’ve had tea in Ireland and the UK, and my observation is that most people just use an ounce of milk for a cuppa, right?

        how much tea is this type of freak, that needs this much milk at work, drinking?

      This picture makes my tummy hurt just looking at it. I have a bit of lactose intolerance, but even with lactose free milk…I couldn’t imagine just pounding down a tall glass of milk.

        Try A2 milk. It’s from cows that produce milk without a specific protein that tends to bother lactose intolerant people.

        Lactose free still bothers me to some degree, but A2 doesn’t as much. The biggest issue it has is the sky high price.
