I'm still mortified thinking about it. I was at a coffee shop, trying to impress a girl I had a crush on by being quirky. I attempted to order a custom drink with a dash of this and a pinch of that – I was aiming for something exotic. But instead, I said, 'May I please have a half-caf, half-decaf, half-foam mocha latte with a dash of vanilla and an extra shot of espresso, made with almond milk and topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.' I said it fast, and the barista stared at me, unsure if I was joking. I thought I killed it with my creativity, but in reality, I just sounded like a mess.
