Crap meals out
I'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.

my mum has balls
this happened 15 years ago. My mother and a group of her friends went to Kai Feng, a Kosher Chinese restaurant in Hendon.
The food was good, if hugely overpriced, but the service was shite- everyone's meal arriving at different times- you know the score.
Now my mum was about 50 at the time, little, and not one to make a fuss, but when they added the 10% service charge to the bill, she went berzerker and refused to pay it.
Big ructions ensued, culminating in the management locking her in the restaurant and refusing to let her out unless she paid the 10%.
She refused to back down, and told them to let her out or call the police.
So they called the police (just down the road) who duly liberated her, and threatened the manager with a charge of obstruction.
Dead proud of the old bird.
