Everyone knows that person who treats their tolerance for spice like it's a personality trait. I used to work with a friend who was practically immune to spice and would always throw out taunting requests like this to wait-staff, insinuating that there was no way their chef could placate his lust for the fieriest of infernos. We had a Thai place near the office that we would frequent for lunch, the pair of us would always order the same dish (pad thai), and my friend would submit his usual requ…

Working in a restaurant is, at the very least, a humbling experience.

Rules either exist for no good reason or were written in blood; there is no in-between. The ones that were dreamt up by a bored middle manager somewhere often are more of a means of maintaining control over the workforce than anything regarding safety or productivity, so at the end of the day, they're not the most necessary. Rinsing rice may not be the highest stake workplace activity, so when you're under the pump thanks to chronic understaffing, this is probably one procedure where it's ok to…

Sometimes honesty is not the best policy.

This runner would really, really like their neighbors to be a little more understanding, though the neighbors probably think this person is asking too much of them.

No one can agree who was right or wrong in this couple's fight about vegetables . It's not easy being a picky eater. It's one thing to be picky as a child, when your parents can attempt to make you eat a variety of foods. But it's another to be so picky that even as an adult, you're still struggling to eat healthily. As a picky eater myself, I hate not knowing what's in my food, especially to discover foods like cucumber or olive in the dish. But if someone blended up those foods and served the…

Major props to these people who tried to make creative DIY projects and got some interesting results, to say the least.

You'd be surprised just how badly one day can go, but you don't have to tell these people – they know firsthand. Who among us hasn't had a cooking mishap ? One person below somehow made their dish explode after cooking a dinner in it, while another ruined an entire kitchen in spectacular fashion. My personal favorite fail here is the baby who walked right into wet concrete, while the baby's parent looks super exasperated. At least that will wash off… unlike the person who tried to take a few ma…

When a couple decides to have children, it's usually an unstated agreement that the children are BOTH adults' responsibility. However, sometimes folks forget that when you rear a human child, it is a ton of work on your own and is a task best suited for both parents to pitch in. Now, when you have 4 kiddos, that is a responsibility that is obviously quadrupled. One working woman and mother of four kids, recently got into a fight with her deadbeat husband about their shared parenting and Reddit…

If you're not paying rent, you forfeit your right to an opinion.

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…

Sorry we can't split the check 10 ways, it's company policy

On r/Cooking, one OP asked, “What's your stupidest cooking opinion so we can all fight about it?” Sure enough, people had plenty of spicy opinions on every food from green onions to grilled cheese.

This Karen and Kevin are a match made in heaven.

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

Some people have remarkably poor taste.
