This topic was mentioned in the "Pet Hates" thread but I think it deserves a whole thread of its own.
I worked as a waitress for years and was constantly amazed by the attitudes of some people. "I'll have a steak and I want it very well done - now I mean very, very, very well done, completely black - if there is any bit of red or pink or even light brown I won't eat it. And I don't like vegetables so I want just chips on their own with my steak and I want LOADS of tomato sauce. And I'll have a diet coke".
I appreciate that some peole have genuine allergies or intolerances but a lot of people used this excuse to change things on the menu. A person might claim to be coeliac when ordering their main course (so that the chef will alter a meal) and then eat a slice of bannofie for their dessert.
And I hate when I see an adult picking at their dinner and picking bits out and pulling faces. If you don't like it don't eat it, just stop acting like a child!
And don't get me started on people who say they don't like something when they've never actually tried it. Or who proudly announce they hate something as if it were some sort of badge of honour.
