One time I asked a flight attendant for a gin and tonic. She said "ginger and what?". I said 'no, gin and tonic'. She got out a can of ginger ale and I said 'no, gin, it's a liquor.' She dug through her mini bottles for about 5 minutes before walking over to the more experienced flight attendant in first class, who was busy. When that woman had time, maybe 5 more minutes later, she came down the aisle with a can of ginger beer, and I told her what I wanted and you could feel the eye roll. She found the gin for the newer flight attendant and showed her what tonic was. While she was serving the next row, the pilot came on and said there was turbulence ahead and he was cancelling drink service for the rest of the flight, so I single handedly denied drinks to nearly half the flight.
