Just now, after placing my order, I had one of my coughing fits in Starbucks…

Me: ((((Coughing profusely))))

Barista: Did you say no whip?

Me: STILL COUGHING, nods head.

Barista: Did you say grande?

Me: Non-stop with the coughing, eyes watering, slightly hunched, nods head!

Barista: Would you like a little water?

Me: (Sqeezed between coughs) Yes!

Barista: Do you want ice?

Me: Shaking head, vigorously, no!

After things settled, I said to the barista “No one had ever talked to me so much in this damn coffee shop as just now!” “I’m dying and you with the 20 questions!”  He laughed and said, “It’s like when you’re choking and people ask if you’re choking! Hey lady with all that coughing! I’m trying to have a conversation here!”
