We've all had those dining experiences when things went dreadfully wrong. Perhaps it was a social blunder, an obnoxious diner, a waiter or waitress with an attitude, a temperamental chef, an embarrassing faux pas, or a food or beverage incident. Find out what others have had to endure by reading stories about dinners gone bad.
My wife and I frequented a family restaurant that had decent food, fast friendly wait staff, and good prices.

This woman was really giving her a hard time, yelling and berating her to the point where she started to cry. Everyone was staring in shock as this red faced bitch screamed her head off.
