Me at Starbucks this morning:
"May I have a grande, decaf, single-shot, non-fat, dry, sugar-free vanilla cappuccino?"
Poor Starbucks trainee: 
For the record, dry= extra foam. They lectured me on this till I adopted their lingo.
Anywho, raise your hand if you are high maintenance.

That is MINOR maintenance at best, AJ's mom!
I do love your stance on cream, though!

Triple grande, caramel macchiato, upside down, stirred well and lite caramel on top.

My Moe's order (which JM refuses to go and get for me ever again)
Joey Bag of Donuts w/chicken
1/2 normal amt of rice
normal amt of Black beans
1/2 normal amt of cheese
pico
tiny bit of sour cream
3 pickled jalapenos
side of queso
2 tomatillo salsa
2 who is Kaiser salsa
What's really sad is that I'm on a first name basis with the front line guy at the one I go to most often, and he's actually memorized my order.

Ha ha! That's is what I'm talking about.
You don't even WANT to know what happens when I order anything involving meat.

The only things I really make sure I special order are:
Steak = medium-well
Sushi = no Masago

Not obnoxious (sorry).
I just ask for coffee
Can't you 'sign up' at Starbucks.com and put your "usual" special order on your Iphone to be scanned at the register?? I've seen people doing this.

Oh man, when I saw TR post I was scared that there was going to be a GIF of a snake drinking coffee.
My obnoxious drink has only been in effect for about a month, but it might be time to make it permanent. I'm craving my cup of coffee-tinged, vanilla flavored foam every morning now.

Hmm, my Subway order is always pretty specific, but whose isn't?

Small black decaf. My coffee is straightforward.
Now, my food orders can get very horrific because I don't eat bread or white rice, so when those items are included, I want none. I like my French fries well-done, and my pork souvlaki just barely done and my eggs scrambled and my carrots cooked a bit more than modern chefs do (because I'm allergic to them raw) and salsa with certain things instead of sour cream and no cucumbers in my salad (same reason as carrots) and no raw onions on anything and probably a dozen more.

Dunkin Donuts is usually a small or medium mocha/caramel/toasted almond iced coffee, cream only.
Starbucks is a grande iced, non-fat, no whip white mocha.
I try not to make my food orders to conplicated - if I have to special order too much on a dish, I am more inclined to just order something else I will eat as served.

Crescita, we're going to need to hear the Subway order before we can make a maintenance-grade call.
If it gets into oil and vinegar, or low fat honey mustard... you may qualify.

My orders are usually a bunch of minuses. No mayo. No tomato. No onion on my burger. No salad dressing. No pickle. No mustard. I usually order my burgers, "cheese and ketchup only." 
Subway - cheese, ham, lettuce, and cucumber. That's it.
Starbucks - tall caramel frapp. That's the only thing I've ordered from there! Besides hot chocolate many years ago.
Failure is success if we learn from it.

I don't drink coffee.
But heaven forbid a pickle touch my sandwich! I have to tear off that side of the bread/bun if a pickle's laying up against it.

Now that made me laugh - my mind always sees the double entendre possibilities – just kind of juvenile I guess
