First, I want to address Usto's comment about women's trainability and the grumpiness it incurred on the part of some others.
Women ARE trainable. So are men. Being trainable doesn't equate you with a pet or a beast. You've been in training since the moment you had consciousness, and you'll be in training until the moment you die. We're malleable critters, and everything that occurs in our environment shapes the choices we make from that moment on.
Women train men all the time. Trust me on this one, I've been married for ten years. It's not a problem, and I'm not demeaned by it; it's part of learning to live together and building a partnership.
Now, Borla, YOU'RE trainable too. I'd encourage you to start training yourself to ask for things in a way that is clear. Maybe you need to add the phrase "And that's all!" to your requests. Maybe you need to be more specific. Asking for "just a regular pepsi" is different from asking for "a pepsi". A couple extra words, and you'll likely get exactly what you want.

For the record, we've had the conversation eleventy billion times that I will always ask for exactly what I want, and will assume that she is doing the same.

You know the definition of insanity, right? Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. STOP HAVING THAT CONVERSATION. It doesn't work. You get to feel righteous and put-upon, which we like, but that's about all it does. Start looking at yourself and how you ask.
Look, last thought: you say your requests are "simple". Maybe "simple" isn't the way to get what you want. I know you think it's the right way to ask for things, but... if it doesn't get what you want, you might reconsider that.
