A glass? But I let it slide.
As it happened, there was only one mug, which I claimed, so he got his glass in the end.
Next question.
Me: "Milk?"

Well... another issue is that Americans don't often drink *hot* tea. Iced tea (or sweet tea in the South... once had a confusing discussion over *that* one myself) is much more common. And, of course, one generally would drink iced tea in a glass, and would not add milk.
Out of curiousity, was your friend from the North or the South? From what I hear, hot tea is almost never drunk in the South.

P.S. Thanks for making me feel vindicated, Scottsie. It's sometimes hard being one of the few US folks who regularly visits the chat! ;P
