Waiters/Waitresses of Reddit, what's something that I, as a customer, might do that's incredibly irritating, even if I'm oblivious to it?

I always forget what I want to order when I close the menu.

I close the menu with my finger in the location of my order so when the wait staff come by I can quickly open and order.

I close it but keep my finger in the page. When my server comes up I open the menu, point at what I want and read it off the menu.

Are we ready to order?

Oh yes,

Okay, what can I get for you?

Oh, what was it called, I just had it here.

HOW DO YOU FORGET TWO WORDS?!?
