Last night, the kids and I went out for dinner. We encountered the son of Satan (a five year old with an attitude from hell). In order to enjoy our dinner, I had to perform and exorcism (threaten the poor boy with a knife and a fork). You can read the full story here:

How about you? What is your worst (or best for that fact) restaurant experience?

I can't remember a bad experience. A funny one, when I was eating at a cheap Chinese restaurant, as a student, I was served a plate which I started eating without realizing it was really meant for the next table. -
Our last bad restaurant experience was caused by my MIL. While I was attending to our 4 year old daughter, she was teaching my boys how to shoot spitballs with their straws.
Oh, yeah. She's classy like that.
(great post, BTW... I commented.)

Thanks! And Wow! She sounds like a real winner.

You betcha.

My worst was as a manager a restaurant. This all happened around the time that some restaurant shootings happened in Texas. Some lady called and said there was tomato on her sandwich and she requested no tomato. I did everything I could. Offered free food for a week, gave my supervisors number and the corporate number. Then she told me it's no wonder people get killed. She insinuated someone should kill me. That was when I knew management wasn't for me.-
Some people just have no clue. It's people like this that got me into voodoo dolls.

Lol!

I dont really have any bad experiences. here is a funny one though.
My family was out to dinner at a chicken restaurant, and when my dad got his food, he yelled "Those are the biggest breasts I have ever seen".
Maybe you had to have been there-
My brother was trying to order pork chops once, but said 'penis' instead.
... we died laughing.
I guess there's no telling what's on a teenager's mind at any given time. -
Haha! Both stories are funny. I would have died laughing!

Nothing worse than kids acting up at the booth behind you....peaking over, yelling, or running around. Their parents somehow think everyone thinks their kids are so cute.
We have kids and we know for damn sure no one thinks they're as cute as we do. And sometimes we don't even!! Especially if they're screwing around at a restaurant.-
That and movie theaters. If you can't control your kids, you shouldn't go to either.

Ah so some people do realize everyone else doesn't share the same sentiments regarding their children. I'll admit I was a bit skeptical that such people exist and I'm happy to see I am wrong.
When I go to movies, I stick to the very back to avoid those kicking children behind me scenarios. It also irritates me when I see people bring in babies (they often start crying) and I almost want to punch those people(actually I do want to punch them, I just mentally shake it off).
It's been a long time since I've done the movie theater now that I think about it. Recently found myself just waiting out movies on dvd and watching them on my own screen, in peace and quiet.
Also the same for the restaurants. I rather eat at home where I can burrow my face into some spaghetti, be in peace and think nothing of it.

I have a funny one, this past May on the day of my graduation my family and I went out to eat after the graduation and everyone was getting there plates and we made our way to the tables and my 5 year old niece who thinks that I belong to her and no one else wanted to sit beside me, so she did and my mother sat across from me. We were eatting and my mother ask her "why you sittin beside my son," she told my mother "Aw you just jealous,"lol.
I laugh at it everytime I think about it. -
My friend's mom and sister were visiting her and she wanted all her friends to meet them so we went out for dinner. It was a party of about 15 people. The restaurant we went to doesn't take reservations so we went there and they told us that we had to wait 45 minutes or so. It was raining so we were all cramped together at the restaurant lobby. After an hour there we still didn't have a table. 1:30 later we told them that it was ok if we have separate tables, we were just starving. Almost 2 hours waiting they finally gave us a table, all together. They gave us complementary drinks and appetizers for the wait. It doesn't end there.
The waitress took our order and one of my friends said that he wanted a deep-dish pizza. The waitress told him that it takes 1 hour to make that. He said fine, I also want a salad so I can start eating the salad then eat the pizza when is ready. The appetizers were gone in 10 minutes, the food came almost 1 hour after, can you guess what happened? The stupid waitress didn't bring the food out until the deep-dish pizza was ready. At this point everyone was visibly angry. Then, we realized that neither my friend's mom or sister had food. The waitress forgot their orders completely! We called the manager and my German friend starting almost yelling at him, he had already yelled at the waitress, I'm sure he said a few bad words in German also, jajajaja. The manager, of course, was very apologetic and we actually didn't pay for dinner at all. But, the bad time is remembered every time we go to that place again. -
Once was when I was young and naive, we were out and a trendy restaurant for our anniversary and I ordered prime rib. I had never tried horseradish sauce before and the hubs told me it was sour cream that I was dipping my meat in. My eyes watered for an hour.
The other was a few weeks later when he spit out a fake fingernail which had fallen off of our waitress into his salad. The look of horror on his face still haunts me.
No wait, the last one was hilarious actually. Karma is a mean bitch. -
I haven't gone out to eat in awhile, because A) I'm cheap, and B) Most restaurant experiences are dissappointing -
I hear you on disappointing. I like to cook at home and have what I want.

I could go on for ever on this topic but the one that stands out is ordering food to go (have to do this for hubby as he doesnt like to eat in resturants) and get home after having paid a huge amount for this burger for him. and it has no meat on it at all. This would not be so bad if I lived near enough to drive back but I live 25 miles from a big town. Needless to say he called them and them ate his veggie burger for the night.

When I was 5 or six this Wendy's commercial was all the rage.

People loved that old lady almost as much as Ernest.
Well, I am at a fairly nice restaurant with my parents and a few of their friends, and order a kids burger. It shows up, and I'm excited remove the bun to put on some ketchup, and there's nothing there but a soggy old pickle. I say "Where's The Beef?", pretty loud, and everyone started laughing, including the waitress who was still at the table. It was saying it the second time that got me in trouble. Oh there was a hamburger, it was under the pickle.-
When we were little, my mom took my cousins, brothers, and I to a burger joint. One of my older cousin's friends saw him through the window and shouted "where's the beef" to which my cousin replied (while pulling his pants down to expose the "moon") "between my cheeks."
I'll never forget that. -
I bet your mother loved that too.

recently we went out to eat at a local diner and were unlucky enough to be seated behind a laugher. That's one of those people who bray at everything their dining partners say. I turned and looked, her dinner mates were not that witty, she just did this odd loud laugh noise that sounded a little like a constipated donkey would sound and she did it at everything they said.
It made the meal difficult. I'm all for having fun but not so overpoweringly loudly that it disrupts everyone around you.-
Im guilty of the laughter thing... But I cant help that I'm really really really ridiculously good at comedy

At a family birthday dinner and the table next to us probably had 10 people. Very loud..sounded like they were arguing or something. 30 minutes or so into our meal, we heard what sounded like a scream and then people quickly getting up. One of the diners from the loud table threw up and then collasped. Needless to say, everyone's apetite was gone after seeing the mess.-
Oh god, that sounds horrible!

Finding a curly hair on my plate. That dinner went back to the kitchen. Your post is funny as hell by the way.-
it was probably from the pubic region -
Yea. I figured. Was hoping it was maybe a chest hair that fell out. They kinda can be a little curly like that. Nonetheless, no way in hell I was gonna eat that.
