Which brings me to the next thing on my list I find annoying...people who fail to tip because of things for which the service people are not responsible.
She was the one who put me next to the lax parents/bratty kid in an otherwise empty restaurant.
She was also put out over having to walk all the way over to where I had removed myself.
So you were put in her section (probably the only open section if it was that slow), and then you proceeded to move yourself to a different table all the way across the store (requiring your server to wait on opposite sides of the restaurant at once), and then you failed to tip entirely which, depending on the restaurant, may have actually cost your server money out of her pocket (many restaurants these days make the servers tip out busboys, bartenders, and other support staff from the money they make during a shift).
Yeah, you should probably just stay home and save yourself the hassle of the shitty service you bring on yourself.
Which brings me to my next pet peeve: grown-ass people who generally have no idea how to behave in restaurants.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
