You beat me to it!
It's been "auto removed" but I have it open in a separate window.
Hilarious!
I was posting it to DU2 and once done came back here to find it gone.

Been driving all day and just pulled over to check my Fantasy Football team (of course I check DU too).
I always miss the fun ones..
I'd be your friend for life. 
This is legendary! Including the comments before the pizza!
Why does everybody else get to pet the troll? 
My God, I think I'm going to die from laughing! 
Truly epic trolling!

Edited for brevity, but left all of #45 as representative of the full rant for each item.
1. When you ask your server for your check, they ask you if you want dessert as if you didn't just answer their question already.
2. When your server leaves BEFORE you get a CHANCE to ask for everything you want and/or only ask ONE person.
3. When your server doesn't do as you asked. You ask for a box, they bring you a bag.
4. Servers that decide everything for you without *ASKING YOUR PERMISSION FIRST BEFORE DOING THE THINGS*.
5. Servers pour new iced tea into old iced tea that's watered down.
6. Making comments about what you have ordered or how much you have ordered.
7. Servers that blame someone or something else for their mistake.
8. Servers that don't write orders down.
9. Servers not doing things in the order in which they came in.
10. Servers not returning all of your change(coin change).
11. Servers that don't know the menu.
12. Servers that take your glass when you are in the middle of eating rather than getting you a new refill.
13. Servers that bring out obvious mistakes when they don't compare their written orders or tickets to the food.
14. Servers that put in their opinions into your order when all you want to do is place your order.
15. Servers that don't write down parts of orders, only some, but not all. If you expect a good tip, you need *ALL* the details. Lots of times when servers are deciding not to write down the condiments part, they forget them.
16. Not bringing the amount that was asked for.
17. Servers that don't take "NO" for an answer trying to convince you to get a dessert for example.
18. Servers bring you the next closest thing instead of asking you when they are out of something, basically called ORDERING FOR YOU WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT!!11!!!1!
19. Servers that you don't know start trying to make a conversation with you BEFORE you get to place your order.
20. Servers that ask you to remind them when you have modifications like adding some condiments.
21. Other servers/food runners that don't work as a team that deliver food to your table.
22. I HATE when servers assume you don't want the condiment the food comes with when you order an extra condiment with the food.
23. Auctioning off drinks and/or food when YOUR server is the one that took the order. (such as "WHO HAD THE COKE, WHO HAD THE SPRITE, etc."
24. I HATE when servers assume just because you ordered a margarita the first time, that automatically means you want the same thing again.
25. NEVER "ASSUME" ANYTHING, EVER! For example: My husband and I ordered 2 appetizers as well as 2 entrées at a restaurant. I didn't want what he wanted and he didn't want what I wanted, so that's why we ordered 2.
26. Not delivering non-bar drinks when the server has time to BEFORE bar drinks.
27. Not having common sense such as places where they give you free bread or chips n' salsa not when greeted like after you give them your drink orders that they bring the bread or chips n' salsa out BEFORE what you DID order.
28. Not being OBSERVANT such as serving you food without utensils and not asking if you want a refill when your drink is near empty.
29. Not apologizing for their mistakes. You want the customer to give you more, be nice enough to apologize.
30. Overcharges in restaurants. Servers just seem to not care these days about if they are charging you correctly.
30. The server brings out VERY OBVIOUS mistakes to the table such as a wrong side dish or a missing side of ranch that's not there.
31. Gets your dirty dishes first BEFORE going to get something you asked for such as your check when you want your check.
32. Ask if you have been there before?(Especially if you have, it's irritating and a time waster).
33. Servers that assume things such as bringing a ketchup bottle when you didn't ask for one that everyone likes ketchup when they could have just simply asked you.
34. Servers that don't write down request of any kind, then forget something.
35. I HATE when servers assume when you ask for a box, that automatically means CHECK TIME.
36. Servers that when let's say you say you want your check, instead of getting the check, they get all the dirty dishes.
37. Servers that just don't know how to take an order.
38. Servers that when you ask for your check and a dessert, they wait until you are in the MIDDLE of eating your dessert to finally bring the check when they could have BEFORE the dessert arrived.
39. Servers that ask the faster eater "Do you want dessert" when the other people or person at the table are still eating their entrées.
40. Server delivers water with the lemon inside the water or tea instead of on the edge of the rim of the glass.
41. Server tries to change your entire order instead of LISTENING to what you have said.
42. Servers that make too much conversation about what they recommend personally instead of just letting you place your order.
43. #42's point is part of this one that if you don't come to get my order, I can't get my order in a timely manner.
44. Servers that put their pen and pad away BEFORE you are finished ordering assuming that's all. WHY do that instead of just saying "Is that all" or letting the customer finish ordering? That's just like #2.
45. I HATE when servers assume when you want your side salad or cup of soup when you also order an appetizer. Once, I had a waiter assume I wanted my side salad AFTER the appetizer, which I would have wanted it before or at least with the appetizer, because my husband was eating 98% of the appetizer, I wasn't. This was at Outback. He could have ASKED which one I wanted first. I automatically thought since I had salads very quickly there before and the side salads need NO COOKING, that mine would be out first. Especially since, I have been to a restaurant after that(Macaroni Grill) and had my side salad right away without the waiter asking or me telling him when I wanted my side salad when my husband ordered an appetizer as well. In the Outback situation, the other server that ran my food told me I would have had to tell my server when I wanted it. I was like "WHAT, that makes no sense?" I feel it's the SERVER'S RESPONSIBILITY to find out WHEN someone wants what, because it was a natural assumption when at another restaurant I got my side salad before the appetizer and most importantly, that side salads need NO COOKING TIME, which my husband ordered the Bloomin' Onion which DOES require cooking at Outback. Anyway, I don't think I was wrong in thinking that I'd get my side salad first WITHOUT having to tell him. I think it should be common sense people want their food as SOON as they can have it and if they want it later, THAT'S when the customer should speak up when they want their food. I don't feel it was MY responsibility to tell my server when I wanted it. I don't get WHY 2 different restaurants, same scenario, different outcomes? I was at another restaurant once, the side salads came AFTER the appetizer. It understand why they do that in case you are still eating your side salad when the food is hot and ready that they won't have to let your food get cold or sit under a heat lamp until you are finished your salads, but how come Macaroni Grill didn't do things that way? I finished my side salad WAYYYY BEFORE my husband's appetizer came at Macaroni Grill. I have had a time I wanted a side salad with my meal, but I TOLD my server that since side salads are served at appetizer times and get this: THAT WAITRESS ACTUALLY HAD COMMON SENSE TO ASK FIRST!! This is similar to #22 & #18. While I understand the side salad is not an appetizer, it still can be done WELL BEFORE the appetizer, so why not ask your customer you servers out there what order they would like those items in instead of guessing or going by majority? I created a poll, this is a link with the results: http://www.topix.com/forum/city/bowling-green-ky/TVS049... Click on the results tab to see the results. Do you see not EVERYONE wanted to wait for their side salad or how some had side salad with their meal or how some had side salad at the same time as the appetizer?
Appetizer or side salad first when dining in a restaurant if BOTH are ordered?
