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.

My rehearsal dinnerWe reserved the private back room of a Japanese steak house for my wedding rehearsal dinner. Made the reservation weeks before. Submitted a deposit one week before. Called to confirm the time, 6:30pm, three days before. A few guests arrived at the restaurant at 6:15 to let them know we were on schedule, and the rest of us (75 people) arrived at 6:30. When did they seat us? 8:30pm. To compensate, about 1/3 of the people were given a free eggroll. One effing eggroll. In-towners were leaving before we were seated, and (admittedly not the restaurant's fault) by the time we got out of there at midnight, a blizzard had been blizzarding for a few hours so there was a foot and a half of snow on the ground. I think I tipped them negative 40%.
