I've read online (so it HAS to be true, right?) that lemon piece in restaurants are usually the filthiest thing served in bars and restaurants.
I always order "Ice water, no lemon, no straw." About a third of the time, they deliver a glass of water with no lemon, no ice and
with a straw. So it's easy to tell people like myself that don't want lemons added to their water in a restaurant or bar setting (I don't mind it at home) but actually getting that can be another matter.
It reminds me of getting an unasked-for pickle with my sandwich at a restaurant. I bloody
hate pickles and will say, in no uncertain terms, "And absolutely no pickles anywhere
near my plate!" and yet will often get a smelly gherkin with the meal. And very often there is no mention of a pickle in the menu and yet it comes.
Well, I could go on, but it would be more in the vein of "first world problems". Instead, I'm going to try to be calm and just feel fortunate that I live here with my wife among great new friends, am having as much fun as I can in these trying times and the Covid ain't kilt me yet!
