To be fair, wait staff get an awful lot of idiotic requests, and some of these, while mis-hearings, seem at least to have tried to address what the server *thought* the customer wanted. And the small beer in Germany is “ein Kleinebier” which every bar gives free of charge as a taster so you can choose which one to order.
Are you actually named Edward, or are you deliberately mimicking my often overly analytical comments? If the latter, I don’t really understand what your endgame is.
It’s a very good impression, I have to say. It would be easy to take your good natured pedanticism, push it up to 11 and be mean spirited about it. It didn’t occur to me for even 1 second that it wasn’t a genuine Edward.
If you ordered a “coffee with cream” in Australia, you’re most likely to get the same result as Germany. You see Americans we actually put real milk in our coffee.
A lot of people in the US put real milk in their coffee, too. I didn’t know other people didn’t have coffee creamer though. It comes in all different flavors, you might like it.
They had to have seen them putting all those pickles on that sandwich… that wasn’t a mistake. Also, ew.
And that pepperoni pizza creeps me out somehow.
I once went to a golf course and ordered a grilled cheese sandwich. I was in a hurry and thought, that will be quick and you can’t screw up a grilled cheese sandwich. Boy was I wrong. The girl making it used a hamburger bun and Kraft Singles. She mashed the bun down as hard as she could and proceeded to burn it. It was far and away the worst grilled cheese sandwich I’ve ever had.
A few of these look like the person taking the order was either joking or stoned (the fast food ones), but c’mon people. Why would you go to another country and order something that’s non-traditional or not on the menu and expect anyone to know what you’re talking about?
I have two comments:
1) The pizza with double pepperoni looked perfect.
B. I want a pair of those small beer mugs.
You see, “bay leaves” sounds an awful lot like “Bailey’s.”
An awful lot.
But who the hell orders bay leaves with coffee?
“Silly Americans! They order bay leaves with their coffee! *pompous French laughter*”
Stupid hipsters may order anything with a coffee, you never know.
I’m gonna annoy my gf with that pic until
bae leaves.
Take your fake internet points and go

Perhaps “Edward” is merely a social construct, and when that presence is needed, the world conjures it into being.
In Ike’s country, everyone has an Edward.
Haha Hahaha well done edward(s)

It is a good impression. I didn’t even know PJ would let two people have the same user name
I wonder how long this could go on for?
The beer story is bullsh*t
OK but I think the Bella Italia one was an improvement on the original order. I’d just shove my face in the box and go at it.
I use your last sentence as a pickup line quite often.
I’m afraid my tastes are more in the line of chocolate than women.
chocolate is a lot better for you and cost a lot less
I told my boyfriend to come on two pieces of lettuce!

Who gives a fark about an Oxford comma?
*raises hand*
Do you think the Moroccan fruit salad came with the bananas open with bites missing? If so that’s a bit unusual.
Actually, that lettuce burger doesn’t look bad.
I’d eat that.
Look out for the ranch sauce

Good for you?
…is milk more impressive than cream??
I wouldn’t know, I drink my coffee black, like a real woman.
That double pepperoni pizza had to have absolutely soaked through the box.

When I was in the hospital, I called for lunch and asked for a cheese quesadilla…. I got cheesecake. Not a terrible mistake.
I once ordered a rye and ginger (ale) from a very young server, who brought me a tumbler of rye whiskey and gin.

Was anyone besides me reminded of literalist walking disaster zone Amelia Bedelia?
Love her.

Most of these people have the opposite of a problem.
One time at McDonald’s I ordered a double cheeseburger hold the pickles. I got a double cheeseburger with nothing but pickles, oh and no cheese.
I would send the cheesey onion rings back that’s just disgusting and nasty those are onion halves !
