Today, my 45-year-old child of a mother made such a dramatic scene over finding a hair in her food that the initially apologetic owners ended up kicking my family out. FML

Barred for life

Today, I went to my favorite restaurant with my mother. The food took a little longer than usual to arrive and my mom threw a fit, complete with kicking and screaming, in the middle of the restaurant. My mom and I are both banned for life. FML

The scene

Today, I found a curly hair in my fries at a restaurant. It was disgusting, so I screamed at my waiter. To my surprise, they kicked me out of the restaurant for, "making a scene". They wouldn’t even replace my fries. When did the customer stop being right? FML

Drama alert!

Today, one of the human-shaped piles of shit my restaurant serves found a hair in her food. Normally, these fuckwits piss and moan and demand free food, but this sack of filth turned out to be such a drama queen that she puked all over the table and cried so hard she needed an ambulance. FML

Today, I work at a food joint as a chef, and a customer found a long strand of hair in her food. The manager blamed me, even though I'm bald. FML

Child labor

By great parenting pal - 11/08/2020 02:01

Today, I was dining out with friends. I saw a mom instructing her young child to go to empty tables and take whatever cash had been left. I discreetly told the manager. He confronted the woman and pointed right at me. As she was being thrown out, she tossed a very heavy mug at my head. It hit me. FML

Today, working at a fast food restaurant, I saw a woman in her late thirties pull out some hair and put it in her food, then threaten to sue me and the restaurant. She also told me no one would believe me, a teenager, when I told her I saw her put it there. FML

Fussy eater

By germaphobe - 19/08/2021 20:59 - United States

Today, my kids and I went to have dinner with a coworker. After everyone ate, the kids went to play while I helped clear the dishes. To my horror, instead of individually wrapping the kids leftovers, she scraped all the uneaten food back into the main pots. I wanted to puke on the spot. FML

I still don't understand why people go so crazy over a stray hair in their food. Hair gets on everything. It's hardly the pandemic apocalyptic plague of epic proportions people make it out to be. It's probably the least deadly thing on your plate. Unless it's short and curly and the entire kitchen staff is bald. Then you are entitled to flip your shit.

I'm happy to see sane people on this thread. News flash: it is seriously not a big deal if hair gets in your food (unless, like #7 mentioned above, it's a pube....). Guess what? We all have hair. It's hard to control. Shit happens. As long as I'm not a restaurant that I'm specifically paying for the experience (high-end restaurant), I don't care. It won't ruin my meal. It's still delicious.

And as far as hygiene goes, as far as I know, it is close to impossible to catch a disease from a hair.

It's gross though. I don't want to eat someone else's hair. Take precautions so it doesn't happen, but if it does, remake the dish. It's dumb to continuously complain, but the restaurant should remake it

Damn. As someone who works with the public and has seen these kinds of reactions I'm sorry OP. I hope it's not too difficult living with her.

People will only apologize so much before they stop caring

Sorry to hear that, OP. I used to work in the service industry and there are two types of people: that type, and the type who realize that accidents happen. Good luck in future eating endeavors.

Perspective! Thank you! After someone has done everything reasonable to fix the situation, why do some people have to keep making a scene? What further benefit is there?
