Anyone who enjoys cooking has probably thought about what it might be like to run a high-end kitchen. And let's be honest – more than a few of us have pretended we were the latest Food Network Star. In actuality, however, the journey to becoming a chef demands immense amounts of time and effort. And the struggles aren't over once someone completes that journey either. In fact, they have only just begun. Being eternally short-staffed... Hearing printer noises in their sleep... Running a restaurant takes a toll. So to make things lighter for themselves (and to give us a better understanding of what they have to go through), chefs are creating memes that perfectly sum up their job. Continue scrolling and check out this selection that's been compiled for you by Bored Panda!

    You don't even have to be a chef to relate! Who needs an expensive fan for filming when you have this!

    True !! Worked in a very good but remote hotel in Cornwall once before mobile phones came on the scene, got cut off by snow, no customers for 3 days, then we had a (booked) party of 6 vets turn up in their 4x4's for their annual get together !! Only me and the Head Chef on site, got them fed and watered, they finally left at 4 in the morning as pissed as parrots !!!

    When I was younger my Dad left a pen in one of his work shirts and accidentally put it into the wash with my teddy bear: I was inconsolable until he came out of the wash again clean again (the bear, not my father)

    Oh man I grabbed a biscuit pan with my thumb hooked on top and a rag covering my fingers. This &#$@ girl took it out of oven and handed it straight to me when I was walking by to get something else. She just turned and shoved it in my hand kinda. The whole inside bottom part of my thumb was one huge bubble. Got off work a few days because it was nasty and had to stay bandaged on my main hand. People don't want you putting plates of food in front of them with a bandaid or finger condom touching plates or drinks.

    Yup, I once worked for a week with a broken wrist (in plaster) because we were short staffed and busy !! Not as bad a friend of mine though, he came to work with concussion, got sent off to the hospital where an X Ray determined that he had a hairline skull fracture.

    Working in a movie theatre snack bar, these were actually put away every night for mopping, and I was expected to bring them back out on my opening shifts five days a week; Guess who invested in his own boxes of disposable gloves on day one

    Now that I think about it, when I was a waitress the chefs were kinda stuck up. Like they were better because they can make eggs professionally.

    I hate when cooks turn stuff off early, because customers inevitably come in late. And then the cooks yell at servers because they put an order in. But you can’t tell customers “no” because then managers yell at servers too. Servers: damned if you do, or damned if you don’t.
