What was the grossest or most ridiculous thing that happened to you at a restaurant?

They said no when I asked for a glass of water, please.

I went to a restaurant on my birthday.

They found out and surprised me with a huge piece of cake.

Then they added the cake to the receipt.

Happy birthday!

Here's your nut, free cake.

As a server, I've done this once or twice, but luckily I caught it before.

I have to ring it in for inventory reasons.

You can't split it off the check on most serving OSs and comp it off for later.

Just don't always mistake ignorance as malice, guys. I was a few bites into eating my

salad, and there was one particularly interesting shiny piece of lettuce. I stabbed into it with my fork

and pulled it out. This was no piece of lettuce. This was a wing and body of a huge, dead grasshopper

in the middle of my salad. I flung my fork grasshopper in the middle of my salad.

I flung my fork across the room in a panic. I will never return.

Went to a local Mexican restaurant, ordered our food, sat there for damn near two hours and it

never came. I asked the waitress twice where our food was, and she apologised and said

it was coming. It never came, so we got up and went to leave. Three employees came up to us and

said they were going to call the cops on us for dine and dashing. I told those dumb F-heads we

never even got our food and walked past them. Haven't been back since, and it's been roughly eight or nine

years. I told the guy, no shrimp. We started eating, and I turned into an itchy, flaming hot

Cheeto. The waiter tells me the cook doesn't do alterations. You could have said something to me
