I remember eating at a Chinese restaurant and ordering something “extra spicy”. The waiter asked, oh, what level? Well, I had eaten there before and didn’t know they had a level, so asked what that meant. He said 1-10, with 10 being spiciest. I said 10 and continued looking at the menu (it’s a rather large one), waiting for the other orders. Then I notice there is a silence and look up.
Waiter is staring at me, concerned. He says “no one has ever said 10!”. After that, others at the table had to change their orders to 10 to try it out, LOL.
After all that, it was spicier than the normal extra spicy I’ve had there, but it was not worth the panic the waiter had. :)
