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.

Valentine's MealI had recently got together with my girlfriend, and I decided to take her somewhere nice for Valentine's Day, so that we could understand each other more deeply over a glass of red wine and candle-lit dinner.
So there we are, parked up in a cosy corner, when some guy sits down next to us with his guitar and sings. Loudly. And depressingly. He wasn't even very good. As an attempt to get rid of him, I gave money, but it was a small restaurant and I think this was the only place for him to sit. So for two hours, and about £80, I listened to some guy playing the guitar.
The girl was annoyed that I didn't ask him to go away, so we had a bit of a fight about whether I should have said anything. And then she went home on her own, and didn't speak to me for a week.
