If you are out to eat there are a few things that may make your waiter or waitress angry.
Paying for your meal and not leaving any tip is one of the worst things to do to a waiter or waitress. Most workers love coming back to your table after you leave to find out how much of a tip is waiting for them at the table. They will be very frustrated when they come back to nothing.
Sitting down at a nice restaurant and only ordering water may make a waitress angry. She may wonder if you are ever going to order food. She may also think that if this is the only thing you order, is she going to get a tip? Since water is free maybe you won't leave a tip.
Once your food arrives at your table, telling them that this isn't what you ordered may make them mad and frustrated. Demanding a different meal on the menu is one of the worst things waiter hear.
Workers dislike when their customers are on the phone when they order. If you are trying to make your waiter mad, then this would be a good tip for you. Talking on the phone and paying minimal attention to the waiter is rude.
Since you are only talking to the waiter, blaming the waiter for everything is one of the worst things you can do. Of course you know that it isn't their fault, blaming them for bad food and the cooking process taking a long time is something that they can't change.
