1. It's runny or soupy.
2. The top of the pudding is caked.
I don't mean that there's pudding crust in the bowl; that's fine. But when the surface of the pudding is kind of dried out, that means that they pre-served the portions and threw them all in the fridge instead of serving it out "fresh" when I ordered it. It's probably psychological, but when I can tell it's a pre-served bowl, it tastes different to me. And by "different," I mean "worse."
3. Raisins come with it automatically.
4. Too much cinnamon.
Rice pudding is not the most exciting dish in the world, but it's not supposed to be. Souping up the engine with an opaque layer of cinnamon leads to sneezing, and dark muttering.
5. It's actually tapioca.
Nothing against tapioca, but it's not what I ordered.
6. It's not sweet enough.
Not a frequent sin, thank God, but if you order the RP with whipped cream, you really notice it. (I usually go straight no chaser.)
7. It's served in a sundae dish.
Probably more of a peeve than a sin, but it bugs me and this is my blog so there.
Did I miss any?

Rice is undercooked! Eugh!
Once had it served in a metal sundae dish, with a heavy lacquer of cinnamon, WITH a maraschino cherry on top, and still covered in the PLASTIC WRAP. Sorry for all the caps, but I'm still shaking.
I had a lovely rice-pudding-esque dessert at a local Indian place very spicy (in a cardamom and cinnamon way) with little slivers of almonds.
YUM and again YUM!!!
The very best rice pudding can be found at the Greek restaurant in Allentown downtown Buffalo. We used to cross the border just to eat rice pudding..raisins optional..now i am hungry.
