OP, I get you. My pet peeve is when I order hot fudge and instead get cold, thin, fake tasting chocolate sauce. No, it is not even close to an acceptable substitute.

I like that. I don't want to see your dirty plates while I'm eating.

I had a friend who literally engaged in a tug of war with the waiter who was trying to take her plate before the rest of us finished!

+1 Why do they do this? So rude. I hate it.

Or when they stack dishes in front of you.

This is terrible. I have instructed my husband, who is a quicker eater than I, to hold onto his plate!

Waiters who are too friendly or chatty, sort of like a masseuse who talks while giving you a massage.

When you don't get the wine vintage you ordered, but get charged the same price, figuring you don't know the difference. "No, a 2011 is NOT an acceptable replacement for a 2007." (California Cab)

When they interrupt u a number of times to ask how things are.

OP again - yes! This and when I don't get a clean fork for the next course. Even in a more casual restaurant, but especially in a nice restaurant.

when they throw butter packets at you, frozen solid and barely usable. Nothing like real butter, people, and easily spreadable please!!

my pet peeve is when they don't refill my water glass.

I KNOW this is ridiculous, but my giant pet peeve is when a menu says "caramelized onions" and they're really just grilled or sauteed. I'm addicted to GOOD caramelized onions, and I think 90% of the time they get it wrong.
