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.

Never been so close to the startMy grandmother used to have a real thing for buffet restaurants. I never understood them because you got the most white trash diners, and yet the bill was always tremendous. It would be 15 bucks for an all-you-can-eat plate, and if you didn't eat three full platefuls you weren't getting your money's worth.
One time she took us to a buffet called Uncle Willy's. I was probably no older than 12 at the time. It was a special Ukrainian holiday or something so we had to dress up, too. And yeah, the place gave me food poisoning.
Fast forward a few years, and we're on vacation. My dad took one look at the dump hotel for which we'd booked a reservation, and said "That place gives me the willies." It gave me a serious flashback.
Since then, that expression has always reminded me of barfing up buffet food from Uncle Willy's.
