1) A waiter who sits down at my table while they take the order. 15 years ago at Bennigan's (in Orlando!) when this first happened, I thought it was charming and friendly. Now it seems obnoxious and lazy.

I can honestly say that the only time this has ever happened to me has been in places where obnoxious waiters are intentionally part of the experience (Dick's Last Resort, Ed Debevik's, etc.). I'd be a little freaked out if Joe at Bennigan's with his 15 pieces of flair decided to have a seat with me!!
