I want my eggs well done

One day I went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast with a friend of mine and two of her friends.
I asked my friend for a suggestion of what I should order because that was the first time I had been to Cracker Barrel.
Plus, I understand probably about 30 percent of what I read in menus. Not enough to make a good choice. However, educated guesses sometimes help with the menu illiteracy problem.
After ordering whatever my friend suggested, the waitress asked me how I wanted my eggs.
I looked at my friend hoping she would get that I had no idea what to tell the waitress.
She didn’t get it.
“Hmmm, well done,” I told the waitress.
The waitress seemed not to understand what I had just said.
I don’t quite remember how I finally got out of that embarrassing moment. But I do remember I ordered scrambled eggs.
To these days, I don’t know how else I can order my eggs. So I always say I want them scrambled.

I was there! Hehe. I’ll break it down for you:
Scrambled–you already know
Over easy–break the egg into the pan. Let it cook for a few minutes. Then–without breaking the yolk–flip it over and let it cook on that side.
Sunny side up–the cook just breaks the egg into the pan. He/she doesn’t flip it over or anything. It’s called “sunny side up” because the yellow yolk is on top.
