No one is totally exempt from experiencing embarrassing moments in public, even more so when we talk about restaurants, which can be a “full menu” for unusual moments. Often, the event is not entirely our fault, but the consequence of someone else’s action. The result can be so unpredictable that we don’t even know how to react, but then we realize it was pretty funny.

To show that we are not alone in this, we at awesome.club, we separate some of the funniest and most unusual stories, which internet users shared about when they made a fool of themselves in a restaurant, but which today give a good laugh about the event. Check out!

Back when I worked in a pizzeria, it wasn’t uncommon for the waiters to pick up some of the toppings on pizzas as soon as they came out of the oven. In hindsight, that was pretty gross, but it happened. One day, one of the waitresses picked up a pizza to deliver to the table she was serving and did just that. When she reached the table, everyone stopped and stared at her in silence. Looking down, she saw a long string of cheese coming out of the pizza and straight into her mouth. © phlarp/ reddit

When I was a kid, I was always embarrassed when my dad walked by the candy section of a restaurant, which was open—you could take whatever you wanted. But he’d walk by and say, “Look, they’ve got free samples,” and he’d pick and choose. We would always walk and pretend we weren’t with him. I’m sure my dad knew this, but… © AngelaMangold/ reddit

When I was 10, I went with a friend and his parents to dinner at a fancy restaurant, but the service was really slow that night. My friend’s father was wearing a white tuxedo, which was the same outfit all the staff wore, and since he had a lot of free time while we were waiting for the food, he started walking around the restaurant, with a napkin on his forearm, taking orders. of the people who were at the tables on the other side. We couldn’t stop laughing. When he came back to us, still in character, he started imitating the waiter, who appeared just in time to watch the “show”. © casiopt10/ reddit

The waiter asked if my sister would like “soup or salad” with her meal, and she said, “Yes, the ‘super salad’ sounds great”. It wasn’t even that funny, but I started laughing so hard that the water I was drinking squirted out of my nose. I can only imagine what the waiter thought about us. © DramaticBarista/ reddit

I met up with an old friend from school for lunch at a fancy restaurant, one of those that add 12.5% ​​more to the bill for service rendered. It was totally fair, it was a nice place with great service. When it came time to pay, my friend looked shocked at the amount, even with the prices on the menu and seeing what she was ordering. We both spent the same, which came to around 60 euros in total. Well she proceeded to show that she was irritated and questioned every item and I didn’t say anything. The waiter came to collect the bill, I paid my share and only after that she asked to remove the service charge. I was a bit shocked as I had never done this before. And he looked like he never heard such a request either, but he was polite and withdrew the fee. She ended up paying around 22 euros. Afterwards, I went back there and gave the waiter 5 euros. I never went out to lunch with that friend again. © vanilla-ghost/reddit

When I was 6 years old, I went to dinner at a big restaurant with my parents. At one point, I asked permission to go to the bathroom, but when I decided to go back to the table, I realized that I couldn’t leave the room, as the door was locked. At age 6, I couldn’t think critically and it didn’t cross my mind that in a room that size, someone would go to the bathroom at some point and wonder why it was locked. I also didn’t think that my parents, who were only a few meters away, would look for me. My brain went into “fight and flight” and I started to force my body against the reinforced metal door and scream as loud as I could. After a while another customer went to the bathroom and that’s when I realized I was trying to break down the closet door. I just looked at him and said “hi” and walked off as naturally as possible. © Mango123456/ reddit

It was my father’s birthday and my family and I tried to embarrass him by calling the waiter and saying it was his birthday (it was one of those restaurants where they sing happy birthday to the customer). When the waiter arrived, instead of being embarrassed, my dad climbed onto the stool, then onto the table, and started to do the Harlem Shake. © danielwilliford11/ reddit

I went out to dinner with my dad, his girlfriend and my sister. Dad is always joking, and he often calls the waitress darling and all that. During the entree, the waitress came over to our table and he started introducing her to me and my sister (he always does this during the holidays and tells everyone where we’re from—every time). The next thing he said was, “My son is looking for a wife.” The waitress was about 20 years older than me and they both stood there talking about my singleness. © Unlucky_Clover/ reddit

I went with my family and a friend to a Lebanese restaurant where they gave out ridiculously tight wrapped straws. Like all children (we were about 12-15 years old) we loved opening the packages all the way and blowing them on each other. We were playing after our drinks arrived when I saw my dad pull the paper off one of the straws and twist the end. If you’ve seen this, you know that person is serious and has turned the wrapper into a pointed arrow. My father then took a deep breath, put the straw in his mouth and blew towards my friend. The wrapper bounced off his shoulder, hit the back of his chair, and—I swear—it flew across the restaurant, hitting a woman square in the forehead. She started screaming, half in English and half in – what I believe was – Arabic, about how the building was infested with evil flies (that was the only thing I could understand, but I believe there was a lot more). Everyone in the restaurant, however, knew exactly what had happened and dinner was pretty quiet after that. © Unknown/ reddit

I once went to a family owned Italian restaurant during a school trip. I was with a bunch of friends and a girl I flirted with all the time. We were sitting across from each other and I went to touch her leg under the table. After a few seconds, my best friend, who was next to the girl, stopped eating and said loudly for everyone to hear: “Who is touching my leg?” I was so embarrassed I jumped up and unfortunately hit my head on a plate of pasta the table behind us was eating. Needless to say, the rest of the night was pretty uncomfortable. © MyNameIsntTyler/ reddit

When I worked at a restaurant, I served two women who ordered steamed lobsters. When they were done, I went to clear the table, but ended up dropping one of the plates. It, which was full of juice and lobster fat, fell straight into the bag of one of them. © triknic/ reddit

I ordered grated and fried potatoes and got a ketchup bottle to put on them. So I firmly shook the pot, naturally aiming it over my right shoulder. Then I realized that the lid had blown off and that I had completely soaked the family behind me. © randobag/ reddit

I went to a “fancy” restaurant with my family and some friends (including the girl I liked at the time and her family). At one point, my brother started crying and screaming for no reason, so I left and went to the bathroom, to escape the embarrassing moment. When I got back to the table, I tripped over a chair leg and fell right in front of everyone. Everyone started laughing and I don’t blame them, but it was awful. The “best” thing was that I couldn’t leave, so I had to sit there in my shame for the rest of the night. © hdrenzor/ reddit

When I was about 8 years old, most of my family went out to eat. I was already a little irritated, because my dress was itchy, when I got up to go to the bathroom. I washed my hands and left. When I returned, a woman from a nearby table got up, approached me and said: “Sorry honey, but you have a toilet paper string hanging from your dress like a ‘tail’”. I looked down and it really was there what she said. Everyone who was close, including my family, started laughing at me and this lasted for the rest of the night. © Roximus/ reddit

I was trying to impress a girl, so I took her to an expensive French restaurant, but I accidentally set the menu on fire as I was leaning toward her to listen to her talk. Those little candles on the tables are dangerous. We laughed a lot, once the scare was over, despite the crooked looks everyone around us was giving us. We are married nowadays. © TinglyThing/ reddit

I was in a diner a few years ago and this girl took the tray with her food on it but dropped it on her way to the table. The attendant took pity on her and offered the girl another snack, free of charge, however, when she was walking to the table, she dropped everything again. © Unknown/ reddit

I was with my family and some friends at a restaurant. The salad was awful, wilted, bitter and looked like it hadn’t been washed and the rest of the food was just as bad. My parents decided they would just eat and leave since they had already paid. But my cousin and his wife didn’t want to and ordered another salad, which was also bad. The two then went to the kitchen and prepared all the food that should have been on the buffet, while we sat there red with embarrassment. © Unknown/ reddit

I was a waiter-in-training at a steakhouse and I was on the lunch shift, tending a table with several city government representatives and other important people, so I was pretty nervous. This place served salad dressings in a strange way, in small metal bowls with no lids. Since I was serving a lot of people, my tray was full of these bowls. Somehow, when I approached the table, I lost my balance and knocked everything to the floor, creating a spray of sauce that hit several people. Everyone in the restaurant was silent and I stood there while they looked at me, so I said, “I can’t believe I missed the councilor.” Everyone burst out laughing. © texasstorm/ reddit
