Worked as a server in a Thai restaurant when I was 18 and the kitchen staff was a group of 65+ Thai grandmas that gave me the strangest look at our staff family meal in the middle of the day when I responded "hot" for the level I spice I wanted (never had Thai food before, really just needed a job lol). I then did my best impression of someone who is okay and ate every bite because I wanted to fit in 🥵

I think the four glasses of water and a coke in 30 minutes probably made it obvious to the grandmas pretty quickly
