Ah yes, ordering. At one point in my life when out with friends, I would always tell my best friend what I wanted so if I struggled, she could order for me. She hardly ever actually had to, but it did help me calm down about what had become quite a stressful task. Also I'm a big pasta eater and would often end up ordering it in a weird order, like "The carbonara, with, um, fettuccine" because I couldn't start my sentence with an F to say "Fettuccine carbonara." I was 30 years old when I learnt that it's an etiquette thing to close your menu to indicate to your server that you're ready to order. I always kept mine open, ready to read off it and possibly point. I was like, "Have I been delaying servers from taking my order for 30 years?!"
