Does anyone else out there get really angry when you order something at a restaurant, and it comes with junk on it that the menu didn't say??? For example, I HATE onions, and I am always furious when I order a sandwich or a salad somewhere and it comes with onions on it when the menu didn't list that it had onions on it!! For example, today, I ate at Panera and ordered what the menu described as a "Steak and White Cheddar Panini on White Ciabatta", and it came with horseradish and onions on it. I was FURIOUS. My fiance says that it's my fault because I didn't ask what came on it, and I should know by now to always just say "no onions" whether it says it or not.
On this note, I asked him if he specified that he didn't want spit on his sandwich, and that if someone spit on his sandwich, it's ok because he didn't ask for no spit or if it came with spit on it. 
Anything with mayo. I cannot have mayo, anywhere, or anything. Like you, I pretty much say "no mayo" whether I know it has it or not. Better safe than sorry.
I work as a waiter and we're supposed to ask customers their preference if they order something and it doesn't have all the ingredients listed. Trust me--I know that menu top to bottom down to the salt and pepper.
And the specials? Last night one included peas. It didn't say on the board that there were peas. Did ANYONE want the peas. Uh...no.
I hate when I order a burger at a restaurant, and it comes with cheese. I always ask for no cheese yet it always without fail ends up on my burger. Yes restaurants, there are people in the world who don't want cheese on the burger!
@MissHoneyBun: Mmm, I love peas! I hate olives too though!
CILANTRO.
Oh em gee, I hate cilantro with the intensity of a thousand burning suns. And it's rarely mentioned. People think it's a harmless little garnish like parsley... no way jose. It absolutely ruins meals for me sometimes.
@FutureMrsBPB: Onions are the worst. I hate everything about them. Panera won't take them off for you beforehand. I had a lunch date with my dad at panera--unknowingly bit into a sandwhich that had onions and my mouth tasted like it all day--well the same day was my first date with FI, we kissed that night and luckily he didn't mind the awful scent of onions lingering on me. Gross.
@AmeliaBedelia: MUSTARD is my other one!! If it doesn't say mustard, there had better not be mustard on my sandwich.
@KristenGotMarried: I can relate!! Like today, yes, I picked the onions off of my sandwich, but it still TASTED like onions. Totally killed it for me.
@MissHoneyBun: I'm glad that you ask! And that's too funny about the peas haha!
@Heatherloveskenny: OH I know!! I asked for a panini or something without onions once, and they said it's all mixed up beforehand and they can't make it without the onions. I wanted to scream. My fiance is probably right that I need to always say no onions, but it's just frustrating! If it doesn't say onions, why do I have to ask for no onions?
@FutureMrsBPB: We have a pre-shift meeting whenever new specials come out, and our chef explains them down to the last ingredient. So it was good to know about the peas!
THEN? We take all five platefuls (WHOLE SERVINGS) including the pizza of the day into the office, and we munch on them till they're gone. YUM.
Greeeeeeen Peppers!! Gag me. They are so strong, they take over everything! I cannot touch a pizza or stir fry that has them in it. Cooked ones are especially disgusting. Honestly, I will try everything once. I've had chicken feet, steak tartare, snails, but I HATE GREEN PEPPERS!!
Onions, olives, eggs, cilantro, peas, cheese, I love.
Oh, and I have a love-hate relationship with cinnamon. I ate a whole box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch when I was little, and threw it up under my basement stairs, lol. So to this day if I catch a whiff of cinnamon, it makes my stomach turn. BUT, I love cinnamon rolls. It's weird. I guess I hate the smell of it on its own, but if it's mixed with something else, like sugar, it's OK. Which is strange in itself because Cinnamon Toast Crunch is sugary.
@Lindsay12.31.2010: ME TOO!! Mayo is one of the most vile substances ever invented, as far as I'm concerned. Bleh. And then they just PUT it on things! Without telling me!! There oughtta be a law...
I also have to ask about meat everywhere, since I'm a vegetarian.
Tomatoes for me. I'll eat ketchup and tomato sauce, but an actual raw tomato... nasty.
I ordered a chicken caesar salad the other day, and it was covered with tomatoes that weren't mentioned on the menu. Who the heck would think to say, "I'll have the caesar salad, but hold the tomatoes".
Mayo definitely! I can't eat it on anything and always ask to have it removed. I also don't eat olives, onions, eggs, cilantro. Pretty much everything you guys listed. LOL.
Olives, Mustard (except honey mustard), and pickles. I gag when my husband eats these things, and I refuse to let me kiss me with pickle breath.
@Gabrielle123: oh, me toooo!! How could I forget that one!
I hate mayo and mustard (in any form or variation). Gag! I hate the smell, the look, the texture, and the flavor of these :o(
@Lindsay12.31.2010: Agreed. I hate mayo, the look of it, the texture, the nastiness and yeah, I have to say 'no mayo.' Sometimes I get dirty looks b/c they're like "it doesn't come with Mayo."
I agree with all the PP about mayo. Icccck! Why does it even exist?! It jiggles! I used to work at Subway, and I almost gagged making someone's sandwich once when she asked for extra mayo, and continued to say "More, please.... more..... more.... okay, that's good!"
It drives me up the wall when cheese isn't mentioned on menus. I'm lactose intolerant, so I always read the details to avoid the dairy. I've been disappointed by simple pasta dishes with marinara sauce that come slathered in Parmesan, with no indication on the menu. I've learned to say "Please no cheese" regardless, especially at Italian restaurants. @beekiss: Yup, totally get what you mean about the dirty looks when something actually doesn't come with mayo or cheese.
I can't stand mushrooms... absolutely can't stand them. They smell great when cooked! If only they tasted great! Same with blu cheeses... they are disgusting. (my world would open up so much if I could just stomach those two things!!!)
So, if anything comes with mushrooms and I didn't expect them, I promptly let them know I will need a new dish because I am "allergic". Allergies suddenly make people care! The first time I did that Mr. Hedgie was completely confused but now it just makes him laugh. I do that with places that offer melon as the fruit side too... That way I always seem to get strawberries or pineapple!
I hate black licorice, dark meat chicken/turkey (so gross and slimy), sour cream and cottage cheese!
Onions, mushrooms, alvocado (sp?), liver, & brussel sprouts yuck 
Ok, I know I'm not actually ever going to a get a liver accidentally when ordering at a restaurant, but I couldn't stop myself at the side items...
I effing hate artichokes. They taste like pickled ass. I also hate sundried tomatoes.
Okra, cilantro, bleu cheese, peas, orange juice
Totally disagree about pickles and olives though! Love 'em
@MissHoneyBun: I am convinced no one likes olives. I'm not sure why they exist.
@FutureMrsBPB: I was pissed when I ordered the same sandwich. I was like "WHY ARE THERE ONIONS ON THIS?" Ugh. Lame.
I hate all nuts. No matter the kind. Almonds, peanuts, cashews, macademia, whatever. Sooooo gross. And they sneak them in cookies and brownies all the time and then I can't eat it.
@In the media: My husband loves olives. He buys the green ones, and just eats them out of the jar. Blech.
Black licorice and raw onion. I can't eat raw onion, but I can totally get down on some onion rings.
lol. I love a lot of these things! Olives? YUM. Avocado? Can't get enough. Milk? I drink it by the glass. Artichokes? More please? lol
Its funny seeing how different all our tastes are.
I used to HATE celery as a kid, but now I love it.
I also have an issue with ketchup. I can only eat it with certain foods, mainly fried shrimp/fish
Pickles. I hate hate hate them. And their nasty juice soaks into everything. Peppers, too - I don't mind the dried ground spice kind but the actual pepper cut up and put in my food? No thank you.
I hate pie... any kind of pie. Truth be told pie totally creeps me out!
i HATE oranges. which everyone else in the world loves! and it's so often used as a random garnish, esp at thai restaurants. ewwww! also pickles. i can't eat anything that's touched a pickle. blech!
