Is there anything special you usually request at a restaurant?

Whenever I go to a sit-down restaurant (which brings to mind something that others have told me is strange about myself, my family always calls places to go out to eat at, restaurants. They are therefore classified into fast-food restaurants or sit-down restaurants.. I guess that't not normal?), I sit down and check out the menu. It usually happens that I can't find a single thing that I would absolutely LOVE to eat; this could be from an indecisive nature or perhaps I am just too easygoing about what I like to eat.  I do like to order water; pop has lost all appeal for me anymore.  I personally think  its because I spent my teen years drinking every pop available until I cried carbonation and sugar. Anyways, I order water and if my father is with me, he orders limes (not lemons) with his water.  Its actually quite delicious, you should try it.
After ordering water, I try to pawn off half my meal with someone else and if I'm by myself, well, shed a tear for me.  If I am successful I let them order, if not I try to find something that would be delicious as leftovers (what can I say? I'm a poor college student and however many meals I can get out of this, the better!).  One rule that I always follow is never order anything with mushrooms.  I cannot stand the texture of mushrooms!  They are an awful, slimy food, and who wants to eat something classified as a fungus? Not me!  I do have to request that there are no green or red bell peppers in my food.  Its not that I don't like them (freshly cut with a little ranch is perfect!), its just that they don't like me; my throat will feel nice and raw and I will end up burping that oily flavor for the rest of the day.

Other than that, I simply proceed to order and eat.
