Yet another trivial poll

At work, there is a kitchen about 20 steps from my desk, and at any time I like during the day, I can wander in and make myself a hot drink, and bring it back to my desk to drink while working. I was quite horrified to discover the other day that Pellinor has to buy any drink that he consumes from the staff canteen, and can only do so at designated break times. I'm curious to find out if his situation is normal and I'm just very lucky, of if I'm the normal one, and he's horribly deprived.

Basically, they should prohibit parents who don't pay attention to the proximity of children to hot liquids.

A previous partner of mine told me of an occasion where an infant daughter of his (for whom he did not have custody), pulled his cup of tea from the coffee table in front of him and burned her face and chest. He felt that his partner, who yelled at him for his inattention, was wrong...

I can see why public places would want to minimise the risks though.
