>be me, eating with my dad at some shitty family restaurant in Dublin.
>Big group of American tourists sat at table beside us.
>They are ordering there food.
>The little girl asks for "lemonade"
>As I am a well versed in American patois I know very well that what the girl wanted was a drink made from lemon's and sugar.
>I also knew that the waitress, not as culturally aware as me was going to bring her 7-up or sprite, what we call "lemonade".
>Knowing this left me uneasy. I couldn't bare it. I had to do something.
>When the waitress arrived back with the drinks I readied myself to say something.
>"I think she wanted a lemon drink...like juice or something"
>Everyone is staring at me . I realise everyone else hasn't been thinking about lemonade for the past 2 minutes like I have, and thus my comment must seem out of context.
>"I don't think she wanted 7-up".
>awkward laugh from the father. Must think I am a complete spastic.
>"oh..sorry, did you ask for something else?" the waitress asks the little girl.
>she shakes her head. lying little bitch.
>"..oh"
>I turn away awkwardly and try not to make eye contact with anyone until I leave.

Your a brave man OP. You had the balls to speak even when it was out of context because it was said 2 minutes ago so you can assure the girl got the drink she wanted.
I understand how it feels when you get into an awkward miscommunication. Here's a feels guy hug.

>>72347300
a few thoughts
1 even if it was true does the restaurant have it
2 and if true would it not be better if the waitress knew herself from the father/girl
3 and if that did happen at least the cultural misunderstanding would have been corrected by the appropriate party and not a proxy
4 you can't expect a girl to both except a soda and ask for cultural justification, hypocrisy is an adulty thing to do
5 sometimes other people pay the price when you try to be the hero

That place was in a really popular part of town, the police do give a fuck if you start shit in a place full of rich tourists.
