Today, my friend and I went to a really expensive restaurant. We got really bad service, so halfway through the meal we decided to dine-and-dash. Turns out I left my purse in the restaurant. With my I.D. and everything inside. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to eat out. When I sat down, I realized I forgot my straw. I took my purse with me, not wanting it to get stolen. Someone stole my food instead. FML
Today, I was on my first blind date. We went to a fancy restaurant in the middle in the city. After using the bathroom, I came back to an empty table. He stole my purse and left. FML
Today, some friends and I went to IHOP. We joked about not having enough money, and as it turns out we were $5 short. We put down what we had and left. Upon getting to the car, I realized I'd forgotten my phone, and had to go back. I made eye contact with our waitress, our money in her hand. FML
Today, I did a "dine and dash" and left my phone in the restaurant. The owner answered my phone call. FML

Today, I went out to eat with my friends. When the bill came, all three of them had "inconveniently" forgot their wallets at home. I ended up having to pay. It was a $178 check. FML

Today, I went to a restaurant with my friend, where my credit card got denied in front of everyone. The staff teased me and made me sit in the restaurant while my friend begged for money outside. FML
Today, I went out to eat with a friend. I was supposed to be paying, but when I tried to, there wasn't enough money in my bank account. She didn't have money with her either. FML

"Dine and dash" is not the appropriate response, ever. You can complain to the manager/owner, and you'll probably get the meal for free. They'll also know for future reference to improve the service. YDI for being a damn thief. This just makes it look like you are moochers.

Maybe you were looking for an excuse to not have to pay, and maybe even the servers sensed that you might pull something like that so didn't bother to give great service. Even if the service completely sucks, just give a 0% tip, or speak with the manager (they may try to make it up to you)

It is never okay to just walk out without paying your check, because that does not teach a lesson to your waiter or waitress. It just makes him or her think that you're cheap, inconsiderate, immature, and a thief. If you're not getting the quality of service you want, the correct response is to ask to speak to a manager so that he or she can rectify the situation. I hope the manager calls the police on you and your friend and that the police show up on your doorstep. It would serve you right. #14 - not leaving a tip doesn't rectify the situation, either. It just makes the waiter or waitress think you're either cheap or that you forgot. They don't think, "Gee, maybe I didn't get tipped because my service sucked". The appropriate response is to ALWAYS speak to a manager. If one is not available or nothing is done, send an e-mail, call, or speak to the owner/corporate/someone higher up.

Glad you stole a service and/or food. Look, if you don't like the service you can always complain to the manager about it being slow, didn't taste good, etc. They will do whatever is in their power to make you happy. However, just because you didn't like the service doesn't mean you skip out on the bill. Also, you said expensive restaurant, was the "bad" service due to it being slow and more of a relaxed, nonchalant atmosphere? I mean I've gone to some high end places and it took a while for bread to come out, waiter served wine very slowly and precisely, etc. If it was this type of service it may have been the point of the restaurant. You want quick, go to McDs. Oh and YDI
