And no you can't just scrap it off and it will be good as new (which more than one restaurant has tried to do). This is particularly annoying if the extra item has a surcharge, and they just assume you'll want it because "everyone always orders it that way." If everyone orders it that way, then just change the menu and include it in the price.
Oh, waiters who ask if you want pepper or cheese etc before you have even tasted the dish! Please, let me take a mouthful before I decide whether it needs further seasoning! They often look at me strangely when I say that to them!
