Yes, this really happened to me a couple of weeks ago!

At lunch, I wanted a simple iced tea But a tea with ice was not meant to be The glass, smoothly tall Held no cubes at all Where all my ice went, was a mystery! The waitress (who was not very nice) Lectured, my request was imprecise You must specify For ice to supply Next time, order your iced tea with ice! 8/3/19
