Faux Pas Dining

What are some things that people routinely do while dining out or eating that drive you insane? This can include pet peeves related to the consumption of food itself or the dining experience as a whole.
Some of mine:
-Adding steak sauce to a steak without trying it first (or at all for that matter).
-Adding ketchup to a burger or fries before tasting them (no quality burger or fries should require ketchup).
-Ordering a steak anything besides rare, medium-rare, or medium.
-Restaurants that add the salad dressing to the salad rather than placing it on the side.
-Restaurants that put cheese on their salads without specifying on the menu.
-Ordering a second basket of chips and salsa only to ignore it once the entrees arrive.
-People who take literally 20 minutes to decide what they want to order and as a result send the waiter away multiple times.

I try to not go and eat with people who have pet peeves about what others are doing. Judgmental people are not cool to be around for something that should be enjoyable like eating out. If i even got the smallest inkling that you were consciously grading my dining habits, your arse would be at another table very quick like and walking home or to the office if we went together and I drove.

Nothing really. I am fine with people eating how they want to.
To be honest, I am way more turned off by people telling me what I should and shouldn't like/do.

Pure silliness

At some places I could agree. But if they know how to do it, they will do it better than you.

Legit complaint.

eh. I dine with people I like, and when I am out, getting my food and getting out as fast as possible is not my goal.

Tigertown do you go to Hops and Barley for beer?
Posted on 5/8/15 at 10:46 am to mouton
Is that the place on Drayton or vicinity?
If so, I have not, but I have heard good things.

seems you are trying to be elitist but just not very good at pulling it off

seems a waste, but not my problem as long as they arent cooking for me

you should try salads at better restaurants.... when done right, itd be sillier to order it on the side than this "no ketchup on fries" rule you have
quote:

well, yea, i hope the menu is accurate

arent you a joy. really concerned a couple chips are wasted? surprised you didnt think good chips shouldnt need salsa.

if in a hurry, sure. that is a pain as it effects my schedule. if not - whatever.

If I felt the way you do, I wouldn't dine out at all. It would be too stressful.
Posted on 5/8/15 at 10:52 am to saint amant steve
Frosted glass for my beer. It's a shame how much this happens even at beer bars.
Posted on 5/8/15 at 10:56 am to TigerWise
I want the salad tossed in the kitchen, with a restrained amount of dressing. If the kitchen can't properly dress a salad, then what hope do they have of making decent food?

Legit. Isn't it like 90-something % of beers are supposed to be served in a room temp glass? AKA all beers except the mass-produced Miller, Coors, Bud, Ultra swill

please exit the food board now. you're giving this place a bad name with your shite threads.
my biggest pet peeve is guys with a long list of restaurant pet peeves.

Yeah, dude pretty much shot his pretentious food snob cred out the water with this one.

There's nothing wrong with a cold glass to me, but frosted is over the line unless it's Bud Light. Then at that point, a nice ultra cold Bud sometimes is really good since it tastes like water.

I never thought about it that way. Think how stressful it would be to dine with some people here.

About the only thing that I remotely care about seeing other people do while eating.
Couples sitting next to each other in a booth with no one on the other side.
It weirds me out.

While they should ideally taste it first, who gives a rat's arse what someone puts on their steak?

Yawn

If you're going to the type of place that puts cheese on their salads, this should not come as a shock when it happens.

Because everyone just knows when those entrees are going to come out, right?

My goal when out to eat is typically to relax, enjoy the company I'm with, and order/eat at my own pace. If you want a fast dining experience, go to McDonalds. Of course, they put ketchup on their burgers and fries so thats out for you.
