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.

Asked For Extra Pepperoni
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.
Asked If I Could Buy One Single Munchkin For My Dog's Birthday (Who Loves The Drive-Thru) And They Blessed Her With All This. Glazed Munchkins, Bacon, And Whipped Cream!
Asked For Extra Cheese
Actually...there is. There's a pizza place in my town that all the waiters and waitresses will ask if you're nee if you order extra cheese, because no one orders extra cheese that's been there, because they put SO MUCH CHEESE on it to begin with. Like will literally choke you amounts if you aren't careful 😂 Best damn pizza I've ever had
Load More Replies...ah the games minimum-wage employees play.... anything to get an extra $ out of the tight-arsed boss' hands. haha
This is the perfect amount of cheese, and should be the new standard for all other pizza places to follow.
That looks like a regular pizza for me. Here in Argentina we make them very cheesy.
The last one was my dream pizza. But THIS is my SON'S dream pizza!
That's exactly what I've done when making extra cheesy pizzas for people! There's no such thing as too much cheese!
Assuming all that cheese is another a layer of meat that's the pizza of my dreams

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.
I Asked My Thai Place To Make It So Spicy Someone Would Get In Trouble ... They Gave Me This
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.

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.

Nailed It!!!
A new fad has emerged where people are saying "as many/much as legally allowed" or saying they are saying that to food employees. I think they are pleased as punch with themselves, and will proceed to throw extras away. I think it is not cute and wasteful and gluttonous and idiotic and unnecessary and...
The Dalai Lama walks into a Pizza Hut... CASHIER: What'll it be? DALAI LAMA: Make me one with everything.
If this post taught me anything it is that some people in the United States appear to have a strange obsession with sauce.
what I like about eating out in America is they give you what you want without going "but thats weird" Avocado sandwich with extra avocado? sure! esp before the avocado hype reached Europe, it was fantastic to just have extra avocado thrown on everything :-D
That reminds me; I’m American but was married to a Brit and lived in England. Christmas about 10 years ago, so def before avocado hype hit Europe and my mother in law tells us she decided to go exotic with the cheese platter and get a mango to go with the ubiquitous grapes, but she doesn’t get the hype, she thought it was gross. Brings out the platter with a freaking avocado in the middle. Apparently the fruit and veg guys had the wrong labels. I quite enjoyed the avocado with the Stilton and crackers....
Load More Replies...Meanwhile here in Croatia, you get only 3 drops /half piece/sometimes nothing of whatever extra you ask for.
Same in Aus or you would get charged for all the extra. I think because in the US servers rely on tips so are more than likely want to do what the customer wants (within reason) and giving a lot of extra food, samples etc is like a small f**k you to the boss that is paying the bare minimum wage.
Load More Replies...We had steak and shake this past Thursday and when we got there to pick up the order they asked if we wanted any ketchup. Since there were 3 of us I said, "yes, several please." I watched her scoop up a handful of packets. When we got home, we counted them and there were 23 packets. I won't need to buy ketchup for a while. ;) :D
All of these can only be explained in one of two ways: either someone is being a complete smart@ss, or they are being unbelievably stupid. In my experience of 'fast food' establishments, it is very likely to be the latter!
