Original 

I have a story with sparkling water. I had a problem with a person in London. He maybes maybe not British, maybe Eastern Europe. He looks maybe a little Italy. So the story started from the sparkling water. I ordered the still water, I was clear that I ordered still water. But he brought me a sparkling water, I told him there had been a mistake. I insisted that I ordered the still water. He dropped off another sparkling water, but I told him again. Then he is very rude when he dropped off still water.
