When in a group of people at a restaurant, there is always one person who will ask what someone else is getting. This could be for a couple of reasons. The most popular being that they do not want to order something that someone else is going to order. This one always seems absurd to me. As if originality in ordering had anything to do with character. Besides, most mainstream restaurants all have the same 12 dishes, its bound to repetition at some point. This fear of ordering the same dish as someone else seems illogical

There are also those who are just horridly indecisive and maybe other opinions will allow for their own choice to be made. This one is the most interesting I think, in that your answer is more of a timeline gauge, than a genuine interest in the the surrounding palettes. For if you have decided and they haven’t, it’s time to simply go with the chicken sandwich as long as no one has already decided on that. However these are usually the same people who “need another minute”.

In certain restaurants i have a favorite but in other i like to really be diverse in ordering. So when the question falls to me I like to say I haven’t decided, whether I have or not. Moreover I like to not commit to a single dish and keep myself guessing as to what I will get until the waiter shows up. So that when I finally get asked by a person that is interested, I’m pretty much just guessing.
