I wish for servers at restaurants to always bring my tea or water with lemon already included, without me having to ask for it separately. (infosec.pub)

Granted.

However, your waiter always brings you a lemonade instead of water and an Arnold Palmer instead of tea. No matter how much you ask for water or tea, it's always the same. When you get home, you find that any time you pour yourself a drink, it is either a lemonade or Arnold Palmer. You soon begin to hate the taste. Instead of having to ask for lemon, you spend the rest of your life pleading for plain water and tea. No one listens.
