    So I head in for a quick coffee in this corner hipster looking place and order my usual- Americano and the lady behind the counter says we don't call it that here, we say Canadiano.

    I'm thinking oh fuck here we go.

    Then I explain to her that the origin of Americano was a derogatory derisive term that the Italians used to poke fun at Americans for watering down a proper espresso so, since it's a form of ridicule I'll keep calling it Americano. She didn't get it.

    Then she asks for here or to go and I say to go at which point she says they don't believe in paper (no cash either) and that she can pour it into a mug that I bring in...and I'm about to go all Chris Rock in "I'm gonna git you sucka" and ask here to just pour it into my hands lol

    why is getting a coffee so fucking hard lol
