    The hostess asks if you'd like a table outside. It's a beautiful evening — why not? REASONS.

    16. In your mind, outdoor seating will be like this.

    15. In reality, outdoor seating means panoramic views of traffic and scaffolding.

    14. And maybe even a trash can.

    13. The tables are more likely to be dirty.

    12. The chairs are super uncomfortable.

    11. And the only reason it's easy to get a seat outside is because it's freezing.

    10. Worse, your table is far away from the restaurant's kitchen.

    9. And to get the waiter's attention, you have to be the jerk who's like:

    8. But the waiter never notices you because you're sitting outside.

    7. The food takes forever to get to you and you get hangry.

    6. Sometimes there are insects.

    5. And birds.

    4. Even worse, you are at the mercy of pedestrians.

    3. If it starts to rain you are screwed.

    2. Parents seat their noisy kids outside, so you'll be surrounded by them.

    1. Worst of all, you will be dragged to some of the world's worst restaurants, just because they have outdoor seating.

    (That black fence is to keep them from running away.)
