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.

Holiday InnI stayed in a Holiday Inn recently in Kensington - Now, I like the place - I like it a lot, but I ordered a Seafood pie - when it arrived, it looked good, but the size of a house - I wasn't sure I'd ever been that hungry... It tasted good too, lots of whole (identifiable) pieces of fish, prawn, etc until I hit the cold, middle. I wasn't amused I took it back and the conversation went thus:
Me: Hi, this is cold
Waiter/Barman: Oh
Me: Yes
W/B: What can we do about it
Me: (Thinks for a moment) I don't care as long as it's hot
W/B: Oh, shall I replace it or reheat it
Me: Whatever the chef thinks is best
W/B: Yes sir
After I sat back down, I realised that "Whatever the chef thinks is best" would only be something bad.
It came back about 10 minutes later, hotter than the furnaces that heat the hot bit of Hell - I picked at it and decided that I wasn't that hungry any more.
Didn't get a damned apology though, or a freebie - but I was on expenses so I didn't care.
Yes, this was a crap excuse for a story.
