Most of us have been there, staring at our coffee cup wondering how in the world the Barista heard some other name when we clearly said our own. Sometimes whatever is written on your cup is close enough, but sometimes it’s so far off you start to question if you even know how to pronounce your own name.
Here are 21 people that enjoyed their coffee, while questioning if it was actually made for someone else.
