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.

Meal out, meal in, meal back out again..Had been working really hard, 100 hour weeks sort of hard.
Too tired to cook at 10:00pm, at the end of 12 hour shift on sunday, so bought frozen pizza from garage. (OK, but I'm not the first one to stretch the QOTW, am I?)
Was so ill shortly afterwards. Will not give details, but I honked so hard I ruptured the blood vessels in both my eyes. They were both bright red, almost no white at all.
This was handy later. If you phone in on a Monday morning with a "Stomach upset", when working in a merchant bank as a contractor, it's treated as saying "I can't be arsed to come in, or even make a decent excuse".
Turning up on Tuesday, looking like a sci-fi extra, generated appropriate apologies...then mirth.
Bastards. Now do you know why I emigrated?
