If I say I want spicy -- I want to be in visible discomfort and bystanders should be concerned for my safety.

I went to an Indian place once and asked the waiter to make my food spicy. It was kinda medium-spicy, and when the waiter asked if it was spicy enough, I--stupid white boy I am--said no. He took the dish back to the kitchen. He returned a little later with the chef. They both watched me take a bite and regret my decision. Through the tears, I told them the Spice was just right. They laughed.
Pro tip: don't ever tell a Thai cook their food isn't spicy enough. They take their spice seriously, they take pride in it, and they like to dig it in a little if you ask for it spicier.
lol the way you make pad thai spicy is with ground chili flakes on the side. Then you add as much as you want.
