Green Olives!

[noone]

Short story about salad making (again).

SC: and I'd like green olives.
Me: *puts on green olives*
SC: (in a corrective tone) Green olives.
Me:
SC: Green Olives!
Me: [...]
SC: I meant black.
Me: Do... you want me to take them off?
SC: Naw... Just add black ones on top.

I had given her a choice, but there was only one option.

I often will ask for "red peppers and green onions" when I mean "green peppers and red onions." Fortunately, my Way of Sub understands what I tried to say.

I don't even have to list the veggies or their amounts anymore. Kinda scares me but it does save time.

Green Olives!
sorry, bf and I adore green olives, and it felt like I should echo your title! I'm always amused when someone catches a whiff of their own brain flatulence.

i usually just ask for everything, including the hot ones. that saves a lot of confusion.

Ah, but then Pe, the person will ask, "do you want x?" anyway... believe you me, I've tried that. only sometimes they get it, but then again, I've had people go "wft are you doing? no jalapenos!" "but you said everything!"
