I can't stop myself from answering "No" to the question "Room for cream?"

I *do* want room in my coffee, but not for cream. I just don't think it's any of their business that I'm a spiller.

If you tell them “room yes, cream no” they’ll likely assume you use a custom creamer or sweetener, not that you’re a spiller. Just my $0.02 from working food service in my teens.
