With a Twist

Since when did an order of water automatically come with lemon? Shouldn' t the default water order be just water? Why do the restaurant executives think that every person ordering water thinks that a twist of lemon would make it that much better? People could be allergic to lemons or just not like the aftertaste. Some say that you can just pick the lemon out of the water and be OK. Well, thats just not true, because the slight hint of lemon in the water ruins it for anti-lemon advocates. I can understand if someone specifically requests "water with a lemon" but I will be in my cold, cold grave before I have to explain how I want just water without any fruit slice in it. I ask for a glass of water, the thought process should only lead to one conclusion - water...with some ice (which is frozen water). Also, sometimes when one person orders "water with a lemon" the waitress should not assume that the next person in the group wants a lemon too when they ask for just "water". The Lemon requester does not set a precedent that has to be followed by fellow water drinkers. What's next, Coke with lime? Come on!
