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.

Vomiting and Chinese RudenessI have two.
First of all, I was taken out to a very nice thai resturant. I was very excited about it, and spent a good 2 hours dolling myself up. I'd been suffering a bit with an ear infection, usual painkillers weren't really doing the job so I approached my father for advice/money for super powered Nurofen.
"I've got just the thing" said father, and opened a bottle of the pills he had been PRESCRIBED for his ARTHRITIC HIP. Think for a second here about the difference between an achy ear and a full on crumbling to bits hip. Unquestioningly I ate the pill. On an empty stomach.
Into the restuarant, me in my very posh ladies dress with hair all looking neat and lovely. We order about £80 of food (a ludicrously large amount of cash to me anyway). I think I got about a quarter of the way through a really delicious prawn temupra thing before I had to run off to the toilets to vomit my guts up. (Apparently the horse tranquiliser I'd eaten should've been taken with food). The evening ended with me in bed, drinking a bovril, having touched about £1 worth of all that food. Nothing to do with the restuarant itself, but still classed as a crap meal out.
The next story is the fault of the restuarant. A whole bunch of friends went up to London for cocktails, a chinese and clubbing, as it was someone's 40th. We downed a few cocktails and found some resturant in Soho. It was the worst service ever, ever. EVER. The waiter showed us into a back room that had school dinner type tables with the Christmas decorations still up (it was July). He took our order with a FAG on. Hat off! Threw the plates and cutlery on the table in front of us for us to distribute ourselves. Blinder! the food was passable, not worth the money but no one got poisoned. Having had a few I found it hilarious. The best bit was trying to order more booze, he actually rolled his eyes and bought the bottles of wine out without removing the corks. Good work sir!
