I'm surprised that "customers who make specific orders" isn't on the hate list. It was pretty popular in the CNN article way back when. "I am paying you to make me food, motherfucker, I want it done right!"

I think this is largely an American cultural standard. In Europe the customer is more like an invited guest at the chef's house. A host tries to accommodate his guest and give him the best but the guest has etiquette to follow as well. The closest American equivalent I can think of is the B&B.
