text: is it not proper that we should not ask for extra cup to share tea with friend? pls consider? at a restaurant, my friend ordered his own drink. i ordered hot tea so it came with a cup and a small pot of tea. then my friend would like to taste the hot tea so ask for extra cup when this waiter not encouraged giving reasons of good  etiquette. we did not agree to him (what if he finished his drink and pour the hot tea into his cup) isn't this same thing? why  don't you try posting the question with some proper english?
