40 Times People Didn’t Expect To Get Exactly What They Asked For
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!

Ordered An Espresso Shot Over Ice This Morning
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 The Guy Taking My Order For, “As Much Fire Sauce As You Can Give Me Without Losing Your Job.” Turns Out That’s 243 Packets. I Love You Taco Bell, And Promise Not To Ask For Anymore Sauce For A While
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.
“Can I Have Avocado On The Side?”
Asked For A Side Of Onions. Wasn't Disappointed
“Can I Get Extra Egg?” In Tokyo, Japan
Fun fact: Standard Japanese does not differentiate between singular and plural, so 'egg' and 'eggs' are no different.
Neither did the customer differentiate. On a side note, I was working as a breakfast chef at a cafe and the other chef had the idea to give three eggs as a standard serve to try and boost sales. The craziness of trying to poach 30+ eggs at a time aside, a guy comes in and orders a standard breakfast (w/ 3 eggs, chorizo, 2 bacon rashers, tomato, mushrooms, spinach and toast) and asks for 10 extra eggs. Clean plate returned. Dunno how he did it. More than three and my body revolts.

I can never get the eggs I cook to look like that. I tried following guides and videos, still the yolk is fully cooked. If someone could give me advice on what worked for them, I would really appreciate it.
First take eggs out of the fridge and let them get to room temperature. Cook water. Wait until its hot. Put eggs in. Small eggs must cook for about 5 minutes or less, medium eggs for about 6 minutes, large eggs for 7 minutes. When the time is up, put them straight into cold water.

honestly those ramen eggs are delicious I would not have a problem with that except I wouldn't want them to get in trouble for giving me 5 1/2 eggs when they usually give you 1

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...

I heard it as "Buddhist monk asks hot dog vendor "Make me one with everything." Hands the vendor $20, then says "Where's my change?" Vendor says "Ah, my son, change comes from within."
If this post taught me anything it is that some people in the United States appear to have a strange obsession with sauce.
It's true. We have a thing for condiments.
I'm sitting here at work, getting hungrier and hungrier...
I cant help but think about all the food waste. These employees would not be doing this if they knew it was coming out of their own paycheck.
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....
Brittania Kelli lol
These are all cool and all but as a cook this is like a waste of food and I hope those people got charged extra for all that. Businesses can survive if you're giving s*** away for free all the time
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 fuck you to the boss that is paying the bare minimum wage.
They actually get LESS than minimum wage... and are taxed on the tips! It's beyond awful! Please remember to tip your servers well in USA!
This is so gross.
Were you that lucky on that day if they gave you that much amount of food, they are in the good mood or they just want to makes you gain weight
Ordered two soft shelled tacos from Taco Bell with 12 fire sauces packets. I got 12 tacos instead and no sauce. I was so happy

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
Asked for extra cherries at a restaurant once, got a whole bowl of them (they were delicious)
I could feel my arteries stay clogging looking through these photos.
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!
