"What would you like, Hun?"

I'm not your "Hun"!

sit down at the table

take a plate away before you are finished..

forget my beer

Keep me waiting

Say "This is all just for YOU?"

"Didja want any change?" when I put down a twenty for a ten dollar tab.

Phony inclusive, like saying "How are we today?

■ Taking your order and bringing your food, then making themselves scarce until it's time to bring you the bill.
■ Introducing themselves by name ("HI!  I'm Murgatroid, and I'll be your server tonight!") — I assume that would irk off a lot of people (because they won't remember or don't care anyway; to them, the server is just another piece of restaurant equipment like the plates or the flatware) — although personally I like that, so if my server does do what I first mentioned, I can flag down one of the others and ask for him/her by name.

And I also agree — doubled, and in spades! — with SeattleParrotHead's example.  Dammit, don't do that!  If I'm going to give you a 75-100% tip, I'll be sure to let you know; you won't have to go trolling for it like you're dredging for oysters.

Every now and then when a server does that to me, I'll tell them "Hi, I'm Larry. I'll be your customer tonight." They never seem to be amused.

Bring multiple courses at the same time.

Forget who gets what dish and has to ask everyone delivering the food
