It's so annoying when you say coke to a waiter

me: May I get a coke
waiter: oh sorry we only have pepsi
me wants to say: WHAT DOES IT MATTER! THERE THE SAME ****ING(woot I cencered my own post) THING! COKE IS A GENERAL THING TO SAY! LIKE CLEANEX (sp)!

me really says: grrrr *mumble mumble* then I'll have a pepsi

Actually, coke and pepsi taste very different, and I'm annoyed by people who think that just because they think coke is the word for all soft drinks, that when people misudnerstand that they actually want Coca-Cola, and are only doing their job, they get mad over such an insignificant thing even though the other person was only being helpful, and now acts like a jerk to this person because they don't think the same way about that as you do.

but they do the 'I'm sorry little boy but we only have pepsi'

I'm thirteen and I am taller than my mom!(5' 6"ish) I am no boy!

any way I just keep my annoyance inside

ps- they taste the same

It's pop around here (Utah). Had to think about it for awhile, but then I remember my family always says "go get a bottle of pop from the basement" not "go get a bottle of soda from the basement".

didn't we do this before? and didn't someone do a nation wide pole and post the results up on the internet?

yes, apparently they did:

Wow. I'm probably a loser for thinking this, but that map reminds me of a map of the United States during the civil war.

Here in Texas, it's coke. If you want a coke, it usually means a Dr. Pepper, not a coke. It doesn't even seems silly to me after all this time.

In nearly all of Canada, it is known as Pop. There's Unanimity for you.

But go into any restaurant, and they will have it listed as "Soft Drinks."

IHateMakingNames · 08-13-2004, 11:00 AM

In my house we say coke since all we have in the house is Coke.

Outisde of my house, I say "drink". I hate the words pop and soda.

*Pulls out Raptor .50*
And I'll "pop" the next person to say that it is soda.
