Waiting tables sounds like a pretty easy job. But trust me, servers have to deal with a lot of crap on a daily basis. Rude customers, the annoying kitchen staff, endless side work; we've seen it all and it can make our job not so fun.

1. When a table says they're ready to order but they're not

Then they talk to each other about what they should order while you just stand there.

2. Or when you ask a table if they are ready to order and they just look at each other with no response

3. When customers forgot what they ordered in 15 minutes

4. When people ignore you

You're trying to bring people to their table, but they're texting or on their phone.

5. When a customer gets sassy with you

6. That one coworker that everyone knows is just lazy

They never do their part and if you can't find them they're probably in the back using their phone.

7. When a table you treated perfectly doesn't tip

Some people just don't tip regardless of how great your service was, but that doesn't pay the bills so I can't deal.

8. When the kitchen messes up an order and your table thinks it's your fault

It's busy and it happens, I'm sorry.

9. The rivalry between the kitchen and servers that exists at all restaurants

Everyone in the back of the restaurant is always screaming and it's not because they can't hear each other.

10. When you get a good tip

11. When customers come in five minutes until close and your boss makes you seat them

12. The kitchen employee that flirts with you every day

13. When your favorite regulars come in

14. When the restaurant is empty and your boss asks why you're on your phone

15. When you and your favorite co-worker are on the same shift
