Once I was ordering Sushi.
I told the waiter to give me a dozen California rolls. He picked up a small pre-packed with 6 California rolls and asked: 「so you want double the order of this, right.」
「No.」 I insisted: 「I want a dozen.」
As confused the waiter was, he asked again, 「so you want double the order of the 6 pack, right?」
I became little bit irritated and once again, 「No, I want 12 California rolls.」 How he couldn』t understand me, I thought.
「OK.」 The waiter finally gave me a quick answer. He grabbed two packs of 6s, a bigger container, and then he put my 12 California rolls into it.
「Huh … two 6 packs are 12…」 I just totally stumped by my stupidity.
He nicely handed over my order with a cute smiley face, and I felt like burning red from head to toes.
On the way back, I just couldn』t stop laughing at myself, and I have to admit that I am very stupid sometimes.
