Ever tried asking for tuna at the deli? That one can be fun

I had the same problem asking for water on a trans-atlantic flight with Delta. Because clearly Brits asking for a drink of water is something that a trans-atlantic air stewardess doesn't often deal with...

Yeeeeup.
My local taco place does amazing food but it's a total dive. Their drive thru speaker system is one level up from a yoghurt pot on a piece of string.
Chuck an accent on top of that and you're guaranteed to get 30% of something you didn't order in your bag.

Worth it though, their fish tacos kick arse.

You have an accent that people don't hear all the time. You're speaking through a drive thru with noise going on everywhere. Just because your pronunciation of a word is different than someone else's it really shouldn't cause you so much anger.

I think you should a) Control your temper
b) Quit going to fast food drive thru's
c) Remember not everybody has the same abilities as you.
and always carry bottles of water with you in a cooler so you never have to utter the "w" word again..

Whoa, get a grip there. Should have

1. Asked for a bottle of the stuff fish swim in; or

2. Ordered apple juice or milk for the kiddies; or

3. Spelled the darn thing; or

4. Walked into the store and do a face to face ordering.

I'm lazy so first time it was wa'er. Then it was watur.
I agree with a previous post that fast food is bad for you so should be avoided, but it taste soooo good. It's my once a week treat.
Anyhoooo, I'm sat in a bar currently pissed. Luckily the bar tender understands my pronuoncition of the word beer!

Never had a problem with the word beer, not sure McDonalds serves beer in the US, but could be a water substitute.

I did find it fun having beer in the Ikea restaurant when I went to Iceland, it was next to the coffee machines. They didn't have the obligatory soda machine.

The first time me and the husband went through a drive through - Dunstable I believe, I didn't have my glasses so he was reading the list out. Dozy bint behind the microphone decided we wanted everything he said. She was mighty pissed off when he explained he wasn't actually ordering.

Pretty sure the correct way to pronounce "water" is "large regular, 3 milk, two Splenda and a shot".

Best cool down a bit before you try and buy a banana.
