Eating out...is a nightmare! In a restaurant, I have real difficulty.
I can NOT order the same thing as someone else. Ever since I was a kid, I've always ordered last, or near the end (if I know those going after me will be ordering something different to my choice). I can't say that there's a reason behind it besides not wanting to seem unoriginal, but it's lead to me having some pretty awful meals whilst sitting staring at the person who's eating my original choice like a small child whose puppy's just got squished by a bus.
Also, when eating with a group, it's fairly common for conversation to occur... I always, always cover my mouth during this, whether I intent to speak or not, whether I have a mouth full of food or not until my plate is clear. I guess this one stems from hours of "DON'T TALK WITH YOUR MOUTH FULL" from Grandma.... thanks Granny!

Why don't you order first?Then if someone orders the same they're copying you, not the other way around.

I've tried that, it generally leads to people at the table saying..."How's yours, oh you two got the same, is it good?" and then no matter what the other person says, I have to disagree, again not to be made to look uninventive... Just my little vice I guess.
