As a server wouldn't you agree that the biggest pet peeve would be when you go to the table and ask "Can I get you something to drink?" and the patron says "no thanks, I'll just have water!!!" Ummm isn't water a drink or am I missing something!!

it's worse when they say they are ready to order and then chew their lip for two minutes "yeah i'll have the ummm....the ummm.no wait, the....." and you have to stand there and smile politely while fantasizing about strangling them

Folks answer that way because they don't want to be charged for overpriced drinks, so they request water which is free at most places.'

Reminds of this one:
Why is a waiter saying "I'm coming" while he is walking away???
(Or is that only common over here in the Netherlands??)
