Default What's the funniest or worst restaurant experience you'd had so far?

It was a posh restaurant in Provence, in the village where my
grandmother had a house. Lunchtime, full restaurant. We ordered a menu
with appetizer, main course and dessert, and a bottle of wine. The
wine arrived immediately. The appetizer (a splendid soup) took a
while. And then we waited. And waited. And waited. After 20 minutes of
waiting, I managed to catch the attention of the waitress, who was
actually the owner. She said curtly that "it's coming". After 10 or 15
more minutes, I called her again, she came and said we had to wait
like everybody else, it was each one his turn and if we didn't like
it, we could leave. My grandmother paid for the wine and soup and we
left indeed (I would not have paid, but she wanted to).
