    I went out to eat with someone I was just getting acquainted with. We were not quite finished with our meal when the waiter came and asked if we wanted anything else. The person I was with said she wanted to explain something to him: "I am on a fixed income so I cannot leave a tip, however I always leave you part of my food." She nodded to the unfinished meal on her plate. The waiter blushed and seemed at a loss for words. I wanted to crawl under the table.

    first off if you can't afford a tip don't eat out, and if you can't leave a tip don;t eat out. eat somewhere that doesnt require one . and i think she is a snob. where does she think she is the royal palace? leaving servants left over food

    I was about seven or eight, and my parents brought me and a cousin of mine to a very expensive restraunt up in the Twin Cities (Minnesota). They of course gave my my cousin and I those little kid crayon things, and we got this idea thatit would be more fun if we were on our own. So, we said that we had to go to the restroom, and instead went to sit at a large, empty table and pretended that we were rich artists. We had our crayons with us, but did not bring the paper... The table cloth was some sort of silky white clothe and since it was white, we decided it was close enough to paper... so we started drawing on it. My cousin at the time was 10 or 11... and he was being a normal immature guy, even at that age... He began to draw boobs and penises on the table cloth... A waiter found us and over some microhone/ intercom type thinger, asked if anyone had lost two kids... and when my parents were found, the manager told them what we had done.
    My parents were outraged, and we were both grounded for quite some time.

    i had returned home from Vietnam to re-coup in Boston. On crunches and we went to a highly recommended french restaurant for lunch when this fool told me I had to wear a bus-man's coat. I had a tie on and a wool sweater and neatly dressed neatly. This is Beacon St., next to the capital. I wanted to ring-his-Ichabod Crane neck. LOL We got a cab and went to The Carolton Ritz and where welcomed we open arms. Oh, that fancy-dancy french joint went to the bottom off Bahston Harbah--Nuff said

    work at a restaurant as a hostess, so there's tons of stories i could tell. one does stick out however. sat a table that had small kids and the restaurant was not busy,so you couldn't help but notice our background music. it's supposed to be jamaican music, but all of a sudden the song came on where it says that we were banging butt naked on the bathroom floor . parents look at me like OMFG. And of course its in the chorus of the song, song it kept repeating that part. Fortunately I got the kids involved in one of our hermit crab races, so they didn't notice. But i was mortified.

    I was meeting a girls parents for the first time and we went to a crappy seafood place. I ordered some kinda shrimp dish that was drenched in a disgusting amount of butter, I'm not sure what I was trying to do with this piece of shrimp but I ended up flinging it up, across the table and hit her mom with it, covering her with butter. lol.

    my worst time was when I was about 10 years old and i went to stay with my aunty for a few weeks while mum was in hospital, and we were going on a drive up north to see her freinds, she said that as I am not allowed to go in the toilets on my own I would have to wear a nappy, so she pinned one on me and what looked like a babys romper suit because it had pictures of teddy bears on it, we stopped at a motorway cafe and the manager told aunt that babies are not allowed in unless they use a highchair, so I was strapped in one and she orderd me a childs dinner and she started to feed me from a spoon, after I had ate it she gave me a babys bottle with formulur milk in saying that it was all she had for me to drink and she made me drink it all up, then she pulled out of her bag a babys dummy and put it in my mouth and I had to sit there and suck on it untill she finnished her dinner, I could feel everyone was looking at me and heared one lady say what a good little baby I was then aunty took me out of the chair and sat me on her lap and rubbed my back to burp me then she took me into the babies room to change my nappy, it was so embarresing for a ten year old kid.

    My boyfriend and I went on a date and we waited in line for ages, finally got to the counter and I ordered my meal and my boyfriends. ( He had walked over to the cinema to get movie tickets for later) and then when I went to pay for the meals. I searched my whole purse, emptied my entire handbag on the counter, and checked all pockets only to realise that my boyfriend had my ATM card in his wallet. I then stood off to the side for about ten minutes waiting for him to return. Meanwhile everyone else kept getting served and giving me weird looks. I wanted to cry. I couldn't take it anymore so I walked out. However the moment I got out of the resturant my boyfriend arrived so I just should have stayed at the counter. Needless to say we went somewhere else for dinner that night.

    Why on a date would you be standing in line for food.unless its a fast food joint, secondly why were you having to pay and why did he have your atm card. sounds like your boyfriend should have been paying. i mean i think a woman can pay but why leave you standing there like an idiot

    It was sizzlers, which is a resturant, not takeaway, on a busy night, and a popular movie had just come out. We have been dating for years and trust each other completly. He had my money because I had given him my card because I needed a present for a family member and I was unable to go shopping because of univeristy commitments. It was an accident that he forgot to give it back, and he has never used it without my authority. I use his as well. We seperated at sizzlers because the line was so big and we thought it would be easier to run across and get the movie tickets for later before they sold out. Its not like it was a first date or anything and he didn't realise he had left me with no money. Yes it was awkward for me, but really it wasn't the end of the world. It was just an accident.
