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.

It's always meI always seem to be the one to end up with the pube/listeria/toenail clipping in my food. Two of my fondest moments are...
When I was a kid we had a Chinese takeaway one evening. I complained bitterly that the spring roll tasted really foul and was sent to my bedroom for being a moaning, ungrateful brat. It was only after I had stormed upstairs in a huff that my dad tasted the offending spring roll and found that it was caked in MSG that the takeaway spilled over it.
I went to a parent's evening at my sister's everso posh boarding school and there was a buffet laid on with dishes provided by the mums - all very jolly hockey sticks. I tucked into some tomato salad only to find a sticking plaster staring back at me. It wasn't even one of those blue catering ones.
