Choosing a place to go.

My husband is menu challenged. So I will guess deciding on an entrée.

reading the menu when you forget to take your reading glasses

Not eating the entire bread basket.

Making a decision on what to order.

Being seated near screaming kids.

what to wear?

Having to put away your phone for an hour or two, if you indeed do. :-)))

Getting there and getting seated.

being seated next to a loud group

who pays?

Driving in rush hour (they should call it rush hours in cities)

Someone already mentioned my biggest pet peeve - screaming, misbehaving children...

Deciding how much to put in the take home container (I can't possibly eat the enormous portions restaurants serve today)

Getting ready to go out! It always sounds good until I think of makeup, hair, clothes, where to go.... take out ends up sounding better!

Deciding how much to tip?

Worrying your car will get broken into while your in the restaurant....?

Don't people leave work & go directly to eat out? So they're already dressed up & in traffic. ...? If I hit the house, I'm NOT going back out!

Going out to dinner is stressful?

choosing where to go

We so seldom go out for dinner (maybe 3-4 times a year) that the whole thing is stressful. I'm a decent cook and would rather eat my own food.

That dollop of gravy oozing down your front.

The sprig of celery that got stuck between your front teeth.

A left handed person who tries to use the knife with their right hand.

A sneeze begins to develop with your mouth full of food.

You realize that you left your credit card at home just before its time to pay the bill.

A glass or water is knocked over and water spills onto you lap. Hmm, it seems you should have gone to the restroom sooner.

For me, serious food allergies and cross contamination.

Too cold - A/C.

Deciding what to order.

I'll add...not having an attentive waitress/waiter
