You've probably heard about the phenomenon of malicious compliance, which may be intentional or purely accidental. The logic is simple: you follow the rules way too directly and you end up conforming to the request, but not its spirit. Almost always, it results in hilarious accidents and you can check them out in Bored Panda’s previous compilation.

But this time we are getting delicious, and correct me if I’m wrong, but if there's food involved, the absurdity level is likely to increase ten times. From asking for extra pepperoni and being served every single pepperoni in the world to mistyping 12-inch pizza and getting a solid 1-inch treat, these are the real incidents that could have happened to me and you.

"Be careful what you wish for" has never sounded so hangry!

It seems like there’s no big deal in going to a restaurant, sitting down, and ordering yourself a feast. But unfortunately, things can turn sour really fast and there are some rights you should know about that the waiter will likely not tell you.

First of all, food in restaurants should always be of a nice, decent (well, at least satisfactory) quality. Most importantly, it should be safe to eat and it should match the description on the menu. If you feel like your meal fails to meet the standards, you should first report the problem, and second, you are entitled to claim a refund.

Pizza Hut will do a pepperoni lover's with extra pepperoni and stack it even thicker than this - think three layers of pepperoni before you touch cheese. A year's worth of sodium in one sitting...

Second, if you feel like the quality of service is low, you should report it to the manager and refuse to pay the service charge. Again, remember that you should have a legit reason for doing so, and simply not liking your waiter doesn’t qualify as one.

And third, any establishment which is licensed—and which serves alcohol—has to give free tap water. Meanwhile, restaurants that are not licensed to sell alcohol may even charge you for this, since it’s considered a part of service.

as a barista (makes coffee)... this is both hilarious, and ludicrous. Either your barista doesn't know their job, or are torturing you.... or maybe they're trying to be nice, so you can combine them when you want...? Regardless, this is funny.

When I worked at a Chinese restaurant 22 years ago, we had a customer whose order was always so spicy that it made the owner (who was also the head chef) evacuate the cooking area. He'd then throw on a *mask and goggles* and add the amount of chili sauce the customer wanted while cooking. The steam and smoke made us cough, and we weren't even *in* the kitchen. --- I don't think the customer had any taste buds left.

Yes, yes, that's awesome and funny but I can't stop thinking about how much garbage is produced by those very little sauce packets. Restaurants really should think about a new way of selling them.

Fun fact: Standard Japanese does not differentiate between singular and plural, so 'egg' and 'eggs' are no different.

On a side note, they are no longer serving their cheesy zesty potatoes or any cube potatoes for that matter anymore. That was literally my only reason for ever eating there. Thank you for reading my rant, I feel slightly better now. Please enjoy the rest of your day.
