I'm in the middle east and going to restaurants almost always I've found waiters just bringing a bottle of mineral water which I didn't ask for and then opening it and pouring it into a cup even before I can say anything, I've caught it once or twice and asked them to take it back (since I've already ordered beer or some other drink) and while they do oblige they are upset about it, but other times they are too quick or pretend not to understand why I don't want water. Afterwards I get a $1-$1.50 charge on my bill for the water (by comparison the local price for the water in the store is ($0.30). This is just plain annoying.
