My wife went to pastry school and came home with fancy cakes nearly every night. Since they were way too rich for the two of us, I played cake courier and took the extras to a soup kitchen. My mornings were tasty charity runs!
Spent his wedding bonus on a fancy 3-course dinner. First course: teacup-sized salad. Main: thumb-sized roast duck. Dessert: shot glass sorbet. It was delicious, but not filling. So dinner attire on, they hit Burger King by the beach for cheeseburgers and fries. Classy hunger solution!
Burgers that are taller than they're wide are just plain goofy. How do you even eat those? Somehow, someone decided stacking a burger like a skyscraper was a good idea. Spoiler: it's mostly just a pain to munch on.
My husband was stuck working at a resort spa and had to eat at their fancy restaurants daily. After a couple weeks, I visit and he's DONE with lobster tails. He actually begs for pizza instead. When your fancy food becomes your food prison, you know you’re having a first world crisis!
I was sick and begged my boyfriend for Campbell’s chicken noodle soup. Instead, he boiled up a fancy homemade soup with veggies and chicken chunks. Problem was, I’d been throwing up and needed boring, bland soup - not a veggie-packed feast. He didn’t get it and called me uncultured. Nope, just sick!
Stopped for a McDonald’s run for two burgers, fries, and nuggets. The window chick winked and handed me a bag with free cookies and a note saying "cookies for you!" But wait - no fries or nuggets. Had to run back to the speaker to fix the order, and guess what? No more winks that time!
Hit up a pub special with shrimp, bacon-grits, veggies, and cornbread. The veggies rocked. The bacon? Salt city and barely edible. Told the manager, who insisted, “It’s house made, so it’s supposed to be salty.” I was like: nope, you just made salty wrong.
Booked a rental car for the family with toddlers and all the gear. Got offered a flashy Camaro as an upgrade - looks cool, right? I just asked if the whole family fit. Answer: nope! Back to the roomy sedan we go.
Found a pizza place THAT REALLY GIVES you toppings. Ordered an off-menu pie and they piled on the extras. Looks amazing but whole pizza turned into a soggy mess. You basically need a knife and fork to survive the first bites.
Rent a car often, got a free upgrade to a super fancy BMW. Everyone’s dream, right? Guess what? At my 6-plus feet tall frame, getting in and out was a pain. Give me a roomy crossover any day over a tiny racing egg!
After my wisdom teeth came out, family brought me fancy Mac and cheese with crispy crust and mashed potatoes full of chunks. Sadly, couldn’t eat a bite without pain. I craved plain mushy potatoes and Kraft mac all day long.
At a pizza place's 2-for-1 deal, a guy just wanted one medium pepperoni pizza and had a small meltdown about the deal. The staff reluctantly gave him two pizzas. Then surprise - they ran out of medium bases, so both were larges. He left defeated holding way too much pizza.
Husband managed a bakery that tossed leftover cheesecake daily and brought home boxes of it every night for ten years. Wife, with zero sweet tooth, silently screamed inside and wished for olives instead. Sweet tooth? What’s that?
At our fave sushi spot, we saw a plate of fatty tuna being sent back because the customer said it was 'too fatty.' Fun fact: fatty tuna is literally supposed to be fatty, it’s on the menu! Sushi chefs everywhere were baffled.
I ONLY wanted plain tater tots because of my IBS. Instead, they showed up buried under an egregious amount of cheese. The server admitted they even asked the chef for extra cheese. It smelled great but was straight-up poison for me. Whoops!
Won a Burger King coupon for unlimited Whopper combos as long as I didn’t see the same cashier twice a day. Greatest thing ever at 11. Lasted a few months until the Whopper got me violently sick and the fries caused horrible gas. Way too much of a good thing!
During lockdown, a friend ordered me dinner and I asked for plain fries. Instead, she brought truffle fries thinking she was fancy. Verdict? They tasted like feet. I didn’t say anything, but I was shouting inside: I just want normal fries!
Snowbird Resort took their 1-star Yelp reviews and plastered them on billboards! Complaints like “too steep,” “too much powder,” and “not enough groomers.” Instead of hiding, they *own* these hilarious gripes. Talk about embracing the shade!
Loved making old-school flaky biscuits at home. When I nailed it, my wife declared, “These biscuits are TOO fluffy and flaky.” She’s all about the Pillsbury pop-tube biscuits. Fluffy isn’t always a win, apparently!
Took a bite of the juiciest, most plump sausage-on-a-stick at the fair and got a mouth full of flavor heaven. But then a Jeep rep at the car show shouted about me squirting sauce on the merchandise. Guess I got too excited!
Industry bartenders came to brunch. Our bartender made them super-strong margaritas to impress. They actually complained the drinks were too strong and tasted gross, wanting simple, balanced drinks instead. Proof even pros have limits!
Once, a customer actually complained their ice cream was TOO cold. No words. Sometimes you just gotta accept frozen desserts are... you know, cold.
I worked Burger King and got an order for a Whopper with EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA mayo. I loaded it up so thick it looked like a white beef patty. Wrapped it in wax paper so shiny you could see through. Customer came back complaining it had too much mayo. Classic!
I worked as a runner for a car dealership. Job took about an hour a day, but they wanted me there 7. Living an hour away, I couldn’t just go home. So I had to invent ways to fill the time. Being paid to do nothing isn’t as fun as it sounds!
Love giving my cat the carne asada from my burrito, so I asked for a small container with extra meat. Instead, they gave me a whole Styrofoam container full for free. Next order, they charged me $2 for it. Now I have to negotiate prices! Meat battles are real.
Flown first class a few times. Don’t care about all the chatting or drinks. Just want the bigger seat to stretch out. Flight attendants have a hard time understanding when I politely ask them to ignore me. Sorry, not sorry!
Customer ordered pepperoni with extra pepperoni, got warned it might be greasy, complained it was greasy anyway. The ultimate first world steakhouse problem: too much pepperoni, too much grease. Can’t win!
Ordered extra jalapenos because last time I got none but paid anyway. This time, the pizza maker went wild and dumped the entire container on. Manager saw the photo, agreed it was food waste, and fixed it next time. Jalapeno justice!
Once ordered a spicy chicken sandwich at Wendy’s and the chicken piece was giant - like 3 times the bun size. Chicken was reigning supreme over the bread kingdom!
Got a cinnamon roll split and grilled in butter. It turned into a butter sponge so soaked it was hard to eat - even though it tasted amazing. Butter: too much of a good thing!
Had a defective safety belt on my baby’s car seat. The company didn’t just replace the belt - they sent me a whole new cot, stroller, and car seat. I just wanted a fix, ended up with a baby gear warehouse!
On our month-long, shoestring honeymoon in the US, I put ‘honeymoon’ on all hotel bookings. Result? Every hotel gave us a free bottle of wine or champagne - too much booze for non-drinkers and hotel sleepers, but hey, free wine’s always nice!
Guy from out east on the ski lift said he loved Utah skiing but his one complaint was 'the powder is TOO deep.' Sorry guy, but most of us just wish for more fluff.
Craved a killer hamburger for months, not a single burger hit the spot. Made two 1lb homemade burgers with a buddy. They were delicious but massive. Neither of us could finish the behemoth, but hey, burger craving: satisfied (and overdone)!
Stopped by Subway for a meatball sub. The new guy piled so many meatballs the sandwich turned into a meatball stew. No utensils, not enough napkins, and a soggy mess. Lesson learned: more isn’t always better!
One time I stuffed so much cash in my wallet it wouldn’t close properly. Tried shoving it in my pocket anyway and it was uncomfortable the entire trip to the bank. Wallet struggle is real!
Work gave me so much paid time off that I can’t even use it all before it expires. They don’t pay it out, so trying to actually take a break just causes stress. PTO: managing to stress you out even when you don’t work!
Restaurant served me a chicken breast so raw it was cold in the middle - like someone half cooked it and forgot it. To apologize, they brought an Instagram-worthy chocolate sundae that was a literal chocolate tsunami. The table all took turns spooning spoonfuls before the ice cream even made an appearance.
Stayed at a fancy resort with five-star dining so good it made us tired of dressing up. Halfway through, we ditched the pageantry for local street food stands with tacos and glass bottles of Coke. Nothing beats that vibe!
Got my new tattoo and told the artist I wanted only the outline exactly like the stencil. Artist decided to add shading and details anyway. Tattoo looks great but wasn’t the plan. Didn’t warn me and now I’m stuck with it. Cue tears!
Nearby sandwich shop gets tons of complaints about high prices and long waits. But the line out the door says otherwise. If they weren’t doing something right, no one would wait that long!
Suggested my favorite Chinese spot for a work lunch, and some folks weren’t thrilled because it was 'too fast.' Apparently slow food lovers exist in the wild!
Ladies and gentlemen, witnessed a lady pour an entire bottle of gochujang sauce over her bibimbap and said it was too spicy. She then demanded a new bowl. Talk about overkill on spice and complaints!
My husband, a wizard in the kitchen, creates amazing global dishes. First half of my pregnancy had me begging for bland foods or I’d puke. My menu was microwaved chicken broth, watermelon cubes, electrolyte pops, plain romaine lettuce, and lemon water. Sorry, gourmet chef!
