Baristas can be true lifesavers—they make that delicious, sweet coffee that gets us through the day, they supply the masses with tasty shakes on a hot summer day, and basically provide a much-needed service that all of us have used at least once. But not all is good in barista land. For one, they belong to customer service, which comes with its own challenges that have long been documented. Another difficulty for baristas can be... their job as a whole.
A Twitter user who goes by human plushie (@INTERNETM1LF) started a viral thread where people posted the kind of ridiculous orders they've received from customers (and each one needs to be fulfilled—that's the service, after all). There's a whole plethora out there, and here are some of the more notable ones.

The orders can range from absolutely bland, something akin to water with little to no flavor, to an essay length of requirements that the barista will have to figure out. And let's not forget, because the customer is always right, these drinks become a true challenge of willpower. Some even asked for a bee in a cup... Why? No one knows, but it's there.
And these orders aren't generated at a single central point—you can find them in all the cafes and shops that offer drinks. The majority do come from Starbucks, but there's a Dunkin' Donuts in the list too. Basically, no barista is safe from the scourge of silly orders, for which we can only offer our sympathies.

I'm glad they decided not to take whip, that would have been too much.
We all probably have our favorite drinks, but these orders take it to the next level. And seeing how some of them are very excessive or just downright mocking, it's safe to say that customers sometimes go overboard. This also gives a glimpse into why so many baristas look overworked (or forget your name... they have mile-long orders to remember!)

I do not understand the obsession with Starbucks. The coffee is terrible!

I like Starbucks but I don't go there for coffee, I go there for coffee-flavored milkshakes. This thread suggests I'm not alone.

I just wonder: how do people find out these mixes? So many pumps of this and so many of that. I just cannot figure that out ...

YEAH! That’s exactly what I was thinking, how do they come up with these? Are they ex employees who figured out a magic combo after hours? Do they have a syrup collection at home they experiment with to figure out a perfect pump to coffee ratio? Is it part of a math or science class somewhere? I didn’t even know you could ask for a specific amount of pumps of this or that.
