Looking expectantly at the glass, mopping perspiration from my brow, licking my lips? A hard, grinning stare directly at the server? Eyes downcast, my hands lying dejectedly in my lap?

At the wall plug so you can unplug the server as fast as possible before the drink it just poured destroys the hardware

… I’ll see myself out

You’re outside during a thunderstorm, you should go inside

A combination of all of the above except for staring at the person serving your drink. I would recommend keeping licking your lips to a minimum unless you are trying to flirt with them.

Another completely valid option is, glance and smile to whoever else is having dinner with you, if you didn’t go alone.

Hmm, or maybe I could try glancing and smiling to my invisible dinner companions.

Directly at my groin, please. It’s the best way to show appreciation for my service.

Absolutely, sir or madam, I wish to display my utmost respect.

If you’re unsure which it is, you’re not staring hard enough.

Way ahead of you. Covered myself in sand and have a backup glass of my own urine ready if the server spills as per the Bear Grylls surviving thirst handbook.
