Another thing, I HATE when I am working and the customers ask if they can put their tips in your shirt or something, I mean, dude, It's a BANQUET HALL...NOT HOOTERS. Sure, I am a waitress but at least you could have a little more respect! Or when you act like you're the only table that exists in a room of 800 people. I hate that so much, and then after being a pain in the ass, you don't tip!

When you also offer someone help and they say " No No, I got it" and then later complain that no one ever helps them, my mother did and still does that a lot, and then after I clean the house she doesn't even acknowledge it.

I also hate when people argue with you about things they don't even know about. They'll INSIST that they are right when they have no clue what they are doing or talking about while you do and they claim you're the wrong one, Seriously, do your research first.
I know exactly what you're talking about at the banquet hall I worked at one for a couple years at The Aquaturf Club which is supposed to pretty ritzy, and sometimes you'd have the nicest people and they'd treat you like gold and tip so nicely and thank you for every little thing you do, even had some people take my picture with them lol...and then....... you'd have the people who constantly complain about everything! my prime rib is too rare.. you asked for medium rare... believe me rare below that is bleeding... so you bring it back to be cooked more and they up it just slightly now it's too cooked, now they want more juice on it, now they want a whole new one cuz there's too much bone...... now they want all new sides because their meat is only just now coming and they want to eat it all at once... now they want more rolls.... now they have a basket full of rolls but the table ate all the garlic rolls so they want more of those....... its too cold in here it's too warm in here, the music is too loud, i don't like this kind of music (as if i set the playlist for the dj/band). My drink isn't could tell them to re-make it, i drank 3/4 of it but i don't wanna pay for another....... tell the bar to make this drink no-one has ever heard of and expect them to know what's in it. let's go get drunk and drop all our drinks on the dance floor....... and shatter glass across it while all the girls are dancing bare-foot... let's smack that guy/girl's ass as they walk by (seriously happened to me more than once... and im don't even consider myself that good looking lol), lets not leave any tip or lets hand the waiter a 20 as a tip and then want change... from the waiter... as if i carry a stack of bills in my pocket for just such occasions... seriously people are ridiculous. Oh we've been waiting for coffee for 5 minutes! ya cuz i don't have 7-8 other tables that i'm working myself in which i have to ask each person if they want tea coffee decaf or something else..... and dessert to pass out... people are ridiculous.......... okay.... lol im done schpieling.... i don't even work there anymore... but they drove me crazy some nights... the only good thing was they paid.... decently per hour and sometimes you got a tip, but the more important part was after your party was over you could go to one of the other empty rooms and make whatever alcoholic drink you wanted for yourself so long as you didn't take it home lol. some nights you REALLY needed it.

My mother also did the, no i don't need help thing and then later look at you all mad and be like 'gee thanks for helping, you sure don't mind helping to eat the holiday dinner i made!' and i stopped cleaning the kitchen or living room without being asked because nobody ever noticed or mentioned it except maybe once or twice. i know mom used to do that stuff all the time and she didn't get thanks for it, but as a kid i wanted thanks lol.

omg... i think we might be twins.... i have a cousin who does this EXACT thing and it drives me crazy. One time we were talking computers and he knows a bit about computers but i have more knowledge because i've done a lot of self-teaching and i had a couple friends who were AMAZING with what they could do and i surrounded myself with people like that so i could learn myself. well one day we spent like 20 minutes arguing over solid state drives over standard hard drives... and he swore to me that standard hdd's were better more long lasting, easier upkeep, faster... and he KNEW this because he worked at a place that makes hard drives. well for those that don't know ssdd's are like giant flash drives... lack of moving parts means virtually no wear... the speed is AMAZING far out performs a spinning hdd, they last much longer the only downside is the price ssdd are naturally more expensive, but in performance there is no contest. he would not give in so finally i dropped it and just shook my head while he walked off feeling superior.. or maybe he walked off knowing he was wrong but not being as embarrassed thinking he'd convinced me. but anyways we had convos like this allllll the time and he would never admit he was wrong even if he was clearly proven to be, and he was also one of those people who feels the need to make other people think he knows about every possible subject... so he would start these arguments about things he literally had no clue about... i never understood that... i never start an argument about something that isn't debatable unless im 100% sure i'm right... what's the point in looking stupid at the end?
