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.

AntsWhen I was about 9 we went to Lanzerote. On our first day, we went down to the hotel dining room thingy, just a small seating area with buffet stylee food over the far side and then a till where you had to pay. We were standing in the buffet line, me and me mother and sister, when I look to the wall on my right, and there is a big big line of ants. How anyone before me didn't notice it, I do not know.
So I did what any other sensible 9 year old would do.
I threw french toast at it.
The little antsies went flying, it was like a scene from a Tom Hanks Hollywood war movie, little ants scattered by this missile of toast. Then one went in my sisters sandal, and she screamed the house down. She was only 4 at the time. This drew attention to the remaining, and wounded, ants. My mother looked embarrassed for my immaturity and bad behaviour, the other guests horrified of the line of ants next to their food, and the till lady pretending to be shocked, as if this 'type of thing' had never happened before!
After that, we had a box of cereal and plastic bowls in the hotel room for breakfast.
Ahh well, it was worth it I reckon.
