Not really a phrase but I love when this shite happens
Me- I would like a plain salad.
Waiter - oooooook (as he writes down "plain salad") so what kind of dressing would you like on that salad?
Me- no I just want a plain salad
waiter- yeah I know, but what kind of dressing do you want?
am I missing something or are the waiter/waitreses missing something? I have always called a salad without dressing a plain salad.

Waiter: "And would anyone like desert?"
Me: "Not for me."
This intimidates everyone else at my table to reply in kind. That way I don't have to sit around while the fat asses have desert.

Baton Rouge area people don't understand this, but some people grew up in areas where the tap was crap and you HAD to do something like put lemon in it. My wife does this, fortunately she usually orders something else to drink as well so that waiters that think like you don't spit in her food because they think she's being cheap.

i have never heard someone call it a "plain salad". i hear people say "a salad, with no dressing".

i always loved "cooked to perfection" on the menu ... God are you setting yourself up for failure ..

"Is insert name of random restranteur here?"

When I was a waiter during college I had a couple send back their blackened catfish...because they were burned.

Negative. Most tap water tastes like ace; lemon masks it.
If I need to be charged for the lemons, charge away.

Im just hoping you know that sushi doesnt have to be raw and can be cooked and has nothing to do with raw fish but attributed to the rice.
BTW fish tasting fishy is a VERY VALID complaint. Do you laugh at people that say something smells fishy too?

One lemon sure, but not a bowl of them.

Comments like this makes me believe some people were shitty servers and dont know a damn thing about the food. YOU CAN EASILY BURN blackened fish!

yes, i do.
however, most people asking this just want something deep fried with some Cane's sauce type shite on top.
eta: and yes, i laugh at people that think all fish should have no flavor and not taste like fish. "oh, it's great. Doesn't even taste like fish" is retarded.

If they are adding sugar its a sign.. But at least they are doing their own work..
Of course you could ask for a bowl so that you have one for the refills.

I concur. Like I said. I know what you mean. It just sounds dumb to me.
And yes, if somebody told me the fish smells like fish I'd say that's dumb. Maybe try, "the fish has a foul smell or it tastes like it's gone bad". All fish smells like fish. It can be extreme at times and that's obviously what people are referring to. I get it. Just don't like it.

Very much depends on the fish.. If you order most white fish (which is what is predominatly served in most places) and it tastes fishy instead of fresh you have a big issue.
