I wish for servers at restaurants to always bring my tea or water with lemon already included, without me having to ask for it separately. (infosec.pub)

Granted. You start to feel awful. Intense nausea, abdominal pain, cramps, lack of appetite, etc. A doctor diagnoses you with a bad infection and prescribes an antibiotic. A nasty, lemon flavored liquid that must be taken three times a day for two weeks. Thankfully it works, and you recover.

However, now everytime you go out to eat the server always bring tea or water with lemon in it, and the taste immediately reminds you of the medicine and illness and kills your appetite and enjoyment of the meal.
