If you mistake salt for sugar in your recipe, it's no big deal. But if a chef does it while making a five gallon soup recipe, there's going to be some problems! Help yourself to a serving of these funny stories from chefs who were humbled by their own kitchen mishaps. We're all human, we all make mistakes every now and again. There are just some jobs where this is more acceptable than others. For example, if you're a FailBlog writer, it's okay if you make a mistake or three. Now, if you're an o…

Entitled customers need to be careful with the battles they choose. If they are not certain that they're in the right, the result could be embarrassing and, in this case, far less than what they wanted. When you order a pound of wings at a restaurant, do you fully expect everything to be carefully weighed to the exact desired amount? What kind of establishment do you think this is, sir? You're ordering wings , not caviar! This Redditor , who worked as a cook at said wing establishment, watched…

Unless you live in a secluded spot in the wilderness, you are constantly gambling with whom you end up neighbors with. Maybe you end up next to LeBron and Roberta, those cool, laid-back neighbors who always have sugar handy when you run out. But, perhaps you wind up living next to Ken and Karen, the type of entitled folk who either grew up without any manners or never properly picked them up because of some kind of fluke in their personality. Unfortunately, u/controversial_jelly ended up with t…

As a parent, it's only natural to want your kids to be involved in your life. That's why things like “Bring your kid to work” day exist — so you can show your kiddo off to all your coworkers, and let them see what you're doing all day long while they're at school. This dad had a similar idea of sorts… but it majorly backfired on him. U/FlashyCow1 shared a story from their time working at a burger restaurant. This place had a pretty devastating recurring problem: a faulty fridge that was consist…

These people have the strangest rules at their jobs, from bosses who limit their water intake to one guy who needs to email someone just to find a pen. As they shared to r/AskReddit, these people answered: “What's the most ridiculous rule in your place of work?” Every job has it's own rules,

Some people are born to be good roommates; others are meant to stay away from all humans and live entirely alone. That may sound savage, but it's just the truth. When you start having to cohabitate with other humans outside of your immediate family, you should have to undergo some sort of personality test to see what the best kind of living situation might be for you. That way, you're saving yourself and any potential future roommates the trouble of having to passive-aggressively communicate to…

I want to find a cave far, far away, and live in it.

This worker came with receipts. Usually, these types of things are a “he said, she said” type of scenario, where both sides state their perspectives, and the truth lies somewhere in between.

Everyone has that one coworker who can't do anything right. Messing things up because they're new is one thing. But then there are people like this guy Andy, whose coworkers are sick and tired of him messing up food orders over and over again. This dude doesn't seem to grasp even the most basic of restaurant rules, such as “don't eat raw chicken, even if it's only a little bit raw," and “always wash your hands before preparing food.” These are things one should know even if they're not working…

Some mistakes are more costly than others, as these chefs know all too well. Professionals from the back of house shared their priciest kitchen mistakes , and some of them are surprisingly costly. I can actually add my own story here — I'm glad it's finally come in handy after years of being one of my most embarrassing moments ever. I was working a shift at a fast food restaurant and customers were being so mean to me. It was the Sunday morning bingo crowd, and they were nasty and impatient to…

I guess in some sense, you have to appreciate this dude's honesty.

From funny customer meal requests to the list of unacceptable kitchen music, these chefs are sharing the wackiest antics going on in the back of house . On the subreddit r/KitchenConfidential, chefs, dish washers , and other back of house restaurant workers gather to share memes and talk about their workplaces. We've gathered some of the funniest and most popular posts so you can get a peek into the daily life of a chef. My favorite of these memes and photos is the guy who ordered 150 pounds of…

A senior employee wasn't about to sit around and be a pushover simply because of a small change in regime...

Nothing stings like the pain of looking at your schedule for next week and seeing a Saturday-Sunday 'CLOPEN'

If you've ever worked in a restaurant, you can relate!

Some people have remarkably poor taste.
