(#7) They Try To Seat Themselves
From nuclearkumquat007:
"Not a waiter, but a host. There are several things people do that are very much unhelpful. First is seating yourself. You may be trying to save me the trouble, but believe it or not you've just caused me lots of headache. Restaurants usually divide tables into different sections and assign each to a server. We seat you in rotation so servers aren't overloaded with several tables at once. If you seat yourself in a section that I just seated, guess who gets chewed out by the server and manager? It's me.
Also, if we're on a wait list, pointing out tables that are open isn't helping me at all. I know there are two tables open over there, but I'm trying to save those plus two more for a massive party. You're right, there are plenty of seats open on the patio, but I just sat 30 people in 5 minutes and my manager didn't want me to overload severs/the kitchen, so you'll have to wait. Please just be patient and let me do my job."

(#5) They Sincerely Thank You, Then Stiff You On The Tip
From Jeev3s:
"If you look me in the eyes, and tell me how much you appreciated the service I provided for you, I am extremely grateful for your kind words and it brightens my day.
If you tell me I'm the best server you've had, and you leave me a 5% tip on a bill that's $70+, I hate you."

(#21) They Mess Up The Menus
From meghanerd:
"This is a simple one, but putting your specials menu inside of your regular menu when you give it back. It'll just be an extra step later to separate them."

(#17) They Stack Their Dishes
From kevik72:
"Stacking your dishes. I have a certain way I'm going to stack them and most people don't know how to do it right. I also dislike when you stuff trash in glasses or ramekins and I've gotta get that sh*t out of there."

(#6) They Ask For The Manager Before Talking To You
From whyyouchattypatty:
"If I mess up your order don't call my manager, it's not cool to get me fired because your sandwich was missing mayonnaise. Instead you can tell me personally, and I'll make your sandwich free of charge and remake it for ya."

(#13) They Don't Leave When They Finish Their Food
From therealckim:
"When you're done eating your entree or dessert and you're all finished with your meal, if we're busy or closing, GET OUT. You're either costing the server money by sitting there and not letting them get another table, or you're making them wait for you to leave. I work at a restaurant where the server can't leave until his/her section is empty. There are times, pretty often to be honest, where I was cut, had all my sidework done, and I ended up having to wait an extra hour or two for my table to just get up and go."
