  TEA ETIQUETTE

  • Greet your fellow tea partiers. Sit down, placing your purse on your lap or behind you against the chair back (not on the floor!). Unfold your napkin and place it on your lap.

  • Sugar and lemon: Put sugar into your teacup first, followed by a thinly sliced lemon. According to most people (though this is debatable), if you’re using milk, it goes in after the tea—but never mix lemon and milk together.

  • Eat savories first, then scones, followed by sweets.

  • Scones: Break off a bite-size piece of the scone. Place curd and cream on your plate. Use your knife to put curd and cream on each bite.

  • The spoon always remains on the right side of the tea saucer; don’t leave the spoon in the cup.

  • Do not put your pinky up.

  • Look into the teacup when drinking, not over it.

  • Do not use your tea to wash down food.

  • Do not refer to your afternoon tea as “high tea.” High tea, served between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., takes the place of dinner and includes heartier fare, including salads, one or two hot dishes, potpies, cold chicken, and so forth.

  this is awesome. I’m at Jack’s using his internet. It’s 1.49am and I have 600 words to write. My psychologist gave me a hi-five today that I didn’t deserve.

  I’ll admit it. I’m president of the “I don’t know how to do stuff” club. Actually, it’s not even a club since I don’t even know how to manage those. So, really, it’s just me sitting on top of a cardboard box with “How do you do that?” written across it in black Sharpie. I’m convinced that all of my peers secretly went to “how to do stuff” meetings behind my back and accrued all of this useful knowledge. Because now, I’m like the only asshole who doesn’t know where to buy stamps or know how to get a stain out of a carpet. My lack of common knowledge isn’t cute anymore. Maybe it was for a brief second my first year at college but now I just look profoundly helpless and dumb.
