Hot or Cold

Was working at a coffee shop in Korea. It was very warm, so I asked a gentleman behind the counter, who had previously supplied me with a cup of darjeeling, if he could lower the temparature. I did this mostly with pantomimes. "Hot," I said, and demonstrated that I would rather it be cold by hugging my body tight and pretending to shiver.

He nodded in sudden understanding, then turned up the heat.

This is why you don't want me on your team for a game of charades.
