Some folks want to mess around and find out, and this waiter was happy to oblige. Entitled people are everywhere, and this person shared that while waiting tables at the Jersey Shore , these folks made their presence known. The OP spotted them by who has the fakest tan . The OP, u/iamjayjayisme, knew that as a waiter, they had to let the entitled diners get away with whatever they wanted—tips were on the line! For waiters and waitresses, dealing with entitled people is just part of day-to-day l…

I never knew that checking the bathrooms before you eat at a restaurant was a “thing” until today. That's because these chefs, waiters, diners, and one health inspector, all gave their opinions on the sketchiest things to look out for while eating at restaurants.

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…

These family meals took an interesting turn thanks to a clumsy sister in law. Owning fine china is a point of pride for many people. In some families, china is passed down from generation to generation. It's pretty common for the dishes to be passed on from parent to their adult child, often after a wedding or moving into a new place. Aside from the sentimental nature of these items, they're often irreplaceable. If you break it , you might not be able to make your collection whole again. This p…

A family friend had a huge overreaction to a potato salad. If someone is kind enough to invite you to their house for a meal, you often bring some nice drinks or a plate of brownies or a bouquet of flowers. What you don't do is insult the food that your hosts have made for you — no matter how much you dislike it. Most of us are taught that as toddlers. We're told, "If someone gives you a birthday present, and you don't like it, what do you do?" And then you learn to say "Thank you!" for what yo…

If this mother in law won't eat this delicious chicken dish, we volunteer instead. Picky eaters transcend culture and time; every family has at least one person who can't stand spicy foods or dislikes a common ingredient like beans. Cooking for another person is a kind and thoughtful thing to do, and it's especially meaningful when it's your family. Speaking as a picky eater, it was a wonderful feeling when someone left my portion of a meal plain for me. Everyone else could eat their regular ch…

Some customers prefer to learn by experience, rather than listen to the waitstaff who know what they're talking about. This customer chose that route, and was quite displeased with her experience. You can't please everyone, which is especially true when it comes to food service gigs. No matter how long you've been waiting tables, there will always be those customers who ruin their own day by not understanding what they're ordering. Some customers will order a burger, then get upset because this…

Restaurants love to be hip and trendy, but at what cost? There are two types of people: those who photograph their every meal, and those who just eat the food. Food bloggers and amateur photographers alike love to snap pictures of what they're dining on, and post photos to their socials for the whole world to admire. However, it's not exactly original to post just a plain old hamburger. No, your followers want to see you eat the weirdest stuff, it must be eye catching. That's the only reason I…

First impressions mean nothing to this dude. In a post from r/TIFU, a woman shared what happened when she tried to take her husband to a dinner with her boss, resulting in one of the cringiest outcomes imaginable. “I had just gotten a brand new job that I was really excited about,” writes the OP. She was trying to get on her boss's good side by getting to know her better. It's not always easy to get to know your boss in a business setting when they need to be serious and focused. Instead, shari…

Time is one of your most valuable possessions, but not everyone values it the same amount. Take this couple for example: they're chronically late , and aren't about to improve things any time soon. When a couple shared their experience with a double date gone wrong, it sparked a conversation about what it means to be late to every event. Some people will tell you that it's just how they are. They're always late to everything, despite their best efforts. Lateness also bothers some people more th…

There are a few rules you simply can't break when living with another person. Do your dishes, don't throw parties at 3AM, and you absolutely, 100% cannot eat their food out of the fridge. The refrigerator is sacred and, as a roommate, you aren't privy to every resource in the house just because you live there. It's not your mommy's house, you can't just eat whatever is in the kitchen.

Recipes are great for some, but some chefs prefer to freestyle their meals. I'm fully on team recipe, mainly because when I try to cook without one, my dish turns out just awful . I trust the random cooks of the internet when I make my meals — mostly because I actually had a physical cookbook, and everything I made with it turned out wrong. This cookbook had me making soggy and inedible french toast, and another time, it steered me into making the most watery pancakes I've ever witnessed. They…

You've got to be cautious about trusting random people online.

It's surprising the lengths people will go to impress someone in their social circle. When you want to fit in with a social group, it's easy to begin dressing like them or talking like them as a result of spending so much time together. This woman, Michaela, did something similar when she met her coworker Sheila, who's a strict vegan. Michaela then also began to have a “ vegan lifestyle ,” and started posting about it on social media. However, her boyfriend, who wrote the post, noticed that Mic…

This aunt is so confused why her niece Sarah is demanding so much money from her. This aunt took to r/AmItheA**hole to ask the internet if she was in the wrong. As she explained, while she was at a family event, she had been gifted a box of chocolates. While the chocolates looked expensive, they also looked a little off to the OP, but she figured that might just be how the candy looked. However, she writes that she “didn't really do anything about it,” and gave some to her niece when she asked.…

You'd rather have your food served on some random wooden plank than a boring old plate, correct? No? Well too bad, that's what you're getting at our fancy dining establishment. No, we actually can't totally disinfect that unfinished wood board that 300 people before you have already eaten off of. Try not to think about it too hard. We're going to sling your greasy burger right on the wood board, and then we're going to dump a bunch of fries on there. The fries are going to spill onto the table…
