‘What is the pettiest reason you refuse to eat at a restaurant again?’ – 23 people holding a permanent grudge

Whether you’ve gone out to eat or you’re ordering a takeaway, paying for dinner is incredibly expensive these day and it’s reasonable to expect a good service. But there’s reasonable, and then there’s excessively picky.

‘The waiter brought my water with no ice after I specifically asked for ice. I know, I know. But then when I politely asked again, he brought it back with exactly ONE ice cube floating in there like it was mocking me.

I’ve driven past that place probably 200 times since and every single time I think about that lone ice cube. It’s been four years. I am not a reasonable person about this.’

‘Local pizza place would not take an order two hours in advance. Ordered take out of 5 pizzas. Went in, not ready, they asked me to come back in an hour. Again, not ready, told them to cancel it. They were pissed at me. I nearly lost it but then just smiled and left. Nothing like a house full of people waiting on food. Anyway, they’re dead to us.’
