Waiters/waitresses who swoop in too fast to claim your plate before you're finished eating.

When the server holds the glass from the top. Yeah! Like Im going to put my lips there.

Answer 14

Inattentive service is my main irritation.  I've walked straight out of supposedly top notch restaurants where servers were busy jiving each other, thereby ignoring their customers.  But, I always speak to management on my way out.  They need to know  what's going on.  Never get mad without getting even.

Answer 15

when they ask you how everything is right when you're stuffing your face

Answer 16

when the staff is rude

Answer 17

When you make reservations for a large party, show up five minutes earlier than the appointed time, and are told that there will be a 20-30 minute wait because "we just had a large party come in, and we have to seat people on a first-come, first-served basis."  Why the h#ll do you take reservations, then?!?!?!  Grrrrr!

Answer 18

When they put a 10% service charge on the bill, AND expect a tip.

(this is in the UK).

Answer 19

There is nothing that a restaurant can do to annoy me because I used to work for one for many years.  If something goes wrong on the restaurant's side I know what the explanation is so I let it go.  It is the customers that make it difficult.  I hate it when parents take their kids to restaurants and they are screaming and the parents don't even pay attention to them, mexicans are notorious for doing this.  I also get annoyed when customers give the host staff c**p because they aren't being sat yet.  So the number one thing that annoys me at restaurants is the CUSTOMERS that have never worked a day in the restaurant business.
