I bring my own tea bags to work at the university, but since the coffee shop
only charges a quarter to get a cup of hot water, milk, and sugar, instead of
boiling water and having to wash cups, I just go order a medium cup of hot water
every afternoon. Usually I don’t even have to say anything but hello,
because the student behind the counter recognizes me and hands me my water.
One day a new girl was on duty, so I said, “Medium hot water, please.”
The girl turned to the supervisor and asked, “How do I get medium hot
water? Do I put half boiling water and half cold?”
