18 People Whose Lunch Turned Out to Be a Nightmare
Cooking

Sometimes you just want to relax and stay far away from the kitchen. So you dress up and head out to a restaurant to enjoy some delicious food or maybe you just grab a quick bite at a cafe because even that’s better than standing over a stove. However, sometimes we receive our order and suddenly realize that it was probably a better idea to stay at home and finish that pasta leftover from yesterday.
At Bright Side, we’ve been disappointed with the food we ordered many times and even laughed at some of the dishes when they arrived. That’s why we sincerely sympathize with everyone whose meal in a restaurant turned out to be, to put it mildly, so-so.
“I ordered home fries from a breakfast place.”
“Maybe they thought home fries meant that you’d fry them at home.”
“We just asked for extra salt...”
“This is what happens when you order a cheeseburger with ketchup.”
“I ordered a bacon and cheese omelet. This is what I got. But I’m a truck driver and was hungry, so I finished it.”
“I ordered a double espresso and this is what I got.”
“Can I have a little more white sauce, please?”
“What the heck is under all that?”
“Make me a hotdog with mustard.”
“I asked for my burger to be cut in half.”
“I ordered an espresso shot over ice this morning. I’m just trying to drink this frozen garbage as fast as I can.”
“I went to KFC and asked for the new waffle sandwich. This is what I got.”
“We asked for extra Cane’s sauce and they gave us EXTRA Cane’s sauce.”
“We were in a restaurant. My friend ordered the cheese pancake. That’s what she got. She was really hungry, so she ate it. And we’re the kinds of people who are too polite to complain.”
“My mom ordered ’cheese ramen.’ And this didn’t happen in the US — it was in Korea.”
“This is what light mayo looks like.”
“My girlfriend ordered a vegan crunchy taco and she got this. There are only lettuce leaves and black beans in there.”
“When I asked for extra egg in Tokyo, Japan”
When you order ice cream with a cone:
“I just asked for extra cheese on my burger.”
