Why do waiters never remember my order?

When I go out somewhere and order food, more than 50% of the time my order is forgotten! My friends' food will arrive and I'll be sat there for ages waiting for it before I have to call a waiter over. I am in fact struggling to remember when I last ordered food and it actually arrived without incident.

Why would that happen! I'm pretty sure I'm not rude!

    Waiters sometimes like to show off sometimes by not writing down the orders-especially with a table with like 6 people...they try and remember it..well to all you waiters out there, THIS IS NOT IMPRESSIVE..it just stresses people out who want to go to a restaurant to chill out with their friends, family and who just want their food, the right way and not forgotten...

    Maybe you tend to say something uninstresting like "i'll take the same (as previous)" and they just forget there were two orders for that dish..

    Try to make it more interesting for them like asking for replacement of potatoes to rice or a not so common drink.

    Lifes like that. Maybe change it up some. Make eye contact and order first

    coz you look so cool that they want to impress you and they try to look all laid back that they actually arent concentrating and forget your order.

    this happens to me a lot, i guess we're just too cool :)
