+1 I like this approach: By making fun about it, you put the focus on the "non-alcoholic" which makes it more likely that the order is remembered correctly. Also by making fun of yourself it doesn't sound like criticism at all. — simplemind 1 min ago

@DatsunZ1 I would say I still have feeling for all my ex partners (at least if it lasted longer than a few weeks). It is just not romantic feelings, but these people are a part of me even if they are not in my life any more. I still value them to some degree, because they made me happy at some point. And beeing not in the mood of doing a task just now and then forget about it if it is not important to you is nothing I would deem uncommon. Your comment sounds like strong jealousy, which would be a red flag for me. — Kami Kaze 16 secs ago

"Interrupting with a quick correction seems to do the trick for me." yep, I agree, though I probably will start with "excuse me, but [it's 'sir', actually]" as a courtesy. — Andrew T. 6 secs ago
