    everytime I tell people that “baristas” and coffee people can’t comprehend the concept of black coffee, I get back talk.

    Back talk. As in talking back.

    Translation: When I tell you shit, you either agree with the truth I speak, or you shut the fuck up.

    Stars forbid anyone fucking disagree with you and speak their fucking minds. Conversations are one way with you: from you to everyone else.

      Yea, using the phrase back talk makes them seem like a parent talking to a child. Whether I agree with what they said or not that phrase being applied the way they did it got my hackles raised.

      When ordering a black coffee there shouldnt be anyone else ‘speaking their mind’. It’s a plain coffee, no opinions from the barista required. It’s not a negotiation.

      What is this comment?

      “talking back” is really just an oddly specific way of saying “answering”, generally to acknowledge or ask further clarifying questions.

      OP sounds like my parents, anything I say is talking back. They like to talk at people rather than to people.

        I recall being backhanded just trying to discuss a difference of opinion. I don’t recall the conversation from 30 years ago, only that my opinion was not wanted.

          I read somewhere that emotions create stronger neuronal connections than information. Your emotion of rejection is valid.
