Crap meals outI'd chosen to take my in-laws to one of my favourite restaurants, only to discover it had changed hands the week before. We waited half an hour to get menus. The waitress broke the cork in the wine we ordered. She got our order wrong. The food was luke-warm, mine was overcooked, the rest was undercooked. After waiting another 40 minutes for the last course, we were told that we couldn't have any as the chef had "forgotten to de-frost the puddings".
Let's just say they didn't get a tip. Tell us of your crap meals out.

I went to Italy twice on a school tripThe second one was only a month ago.
Brilliant trip, only the (prearranged) suppers were a bit disappointing.
The first course was always some kind of delicious pasta, while the main course was some combination of meat and fries.
Wasn't too bad, albeit a bit bland, were it not for one evening, when they first served us a fish soup (which I declined due to being a fish hater),
followed by a cold fish schnitzel(i think?) with cold slices of potatoes.
While I sheepishly ate the nice warm omelette I had proquired from a helpful waitress, our psychology teacher went completely off her rocker, and had a nice bout of shouting against the hotel manager, aided by an equally furious Italian-speaking teacher.
The terrified staff cleared our tables of the cold-fish-disasters, and replaced them with spare pizza parts from the adjoining pizzeria (i.e. tomatoes, balls of mozarella, salami slices, and warm crispy triangles of pizza crust).
And there was much rejoicing.
