Embarrassing, Food, Relatable and Restaurants: Look at this

Look at this

Today, I was having dinner with some friends at an Applebee's. I couldn't decide on what I wanted, and after about 10 minutes of me flipping through the menu, our waiter brings over the braille menu complete with gigantic pictures of all the dishes and says, "Here, I thought this might help." FML

Today, I took my date to a restaurant but I had no idea how picky of an eater she is. Our waiter had to practically use 3 pages in his notebook just to write down all her special requests for this single meal. By the end, I could see he really wanted to ask if she was being serious or taking the piss. FML

Today, I was eating at Applebees at a high table with bar stools. I was reaching over to get some gum out of mom's purse when my chair flipped out from under me and my soda fell on top of me and got in my ear. To make things worse, the waiter ran over and shouted "I give that one a 10!" FML

Today, I was on a date in a fancy restaurant. I tried to show off my skills by ordering our meal in French, since some of the dishes had french-sounding names. The waiter replied in fluent French and I have no idea what he said. FML

Today, my friends and I were going to Applebee's. A girl we don't like invited herself along. She waited for my friend outside of the bathroom, forced her to drive her, and said, "It's okay someone will pay for me." She then ate off of everyone's plate and left before the bill came. FML

Today, while on a blind date at Hooters, I ordered my food and the waitress asked me if I was stoned, because she couldn't understand me. I have a speech impediment. FML

Today, my family and I went to Olive Garden. Due to my autism, I sometimes have a nervous tic, which presented itself while I was looking at the menu. I would have appreciated it if my mom hadn't then screamed at me to stop in front of the entire restaurant. FML

Today, I was out to dinner with a friend. When the bill came with a customer satisfaction survey, I put honestly that the "server friendliness" was "below average." Ten minutes later, I had to return to the restaurant to beg the waitress for my keys, which I had left on the table. FML

Today, at work, I got to wait on one of those tables where everyone had very complex orders, and some of them sent their food back. When the time finally came for me to bring them their check and receive my well-earned tip, I returned only to discover that they'd dined and dashed. FML

About 75% of the people think she dserve it? Why? Eating at AB and taking her time to decide ( I believ 10 minutes is not that long) is hardly YDI material.

I clicked it because she is overreacting. Doubly so because she seems to be overreacting to someone who's trying to help her. The way I see it, her life is far from ******, and if she thinks it is ******, she deserves it.

Learn to narrow it down: do you want a sandwich, or an entree? Then go to: do you want chicken, beef, pork or fish? I have to do that with my mother when we take her out, but she's senile, so she's got an excuse. :/

When in doubt, roll a die! Or become a vegetarian so you just have to choose between two of three meals. I think it's very kind of the waiter to help you like this.

Oops, spelling error, 'of' should be 'or'. See, in Dutch, 'of' means 'or'. And 'van' means 'of'. And 'busje' means 'van'.

I'm a waitress and it gets frustrating when people take forever to decide, especially when you have other tables to take care of. He was probably just trying to get the point across that you were holding him up. But it's cool, I used to take ages to decide before I became a waitress lol.

How is this an FML? I've tried FOUR TIMES to get the story of my girlfriend screwing my brother behind my back for a month on here, and it's been rejected each time. Someone takes 10 minutes to read a menu, and their life sucks?! How about THAT for an FML?
