It happens to the best of us – you give your order to the waiter and they later bring you the wrong food. Then you realize that your order was clearly misunderstood by the waiter. Having the wrong plate served to your table can be frustrating, especially when you’re really starving. But sometimes, orders that are misheard or taken too literally are just too funny not to laugh at.
Everyone has experienced not getting what they ordered. Have you ever asked to add pickles into your burger and was shocked to see pecans (nuts) in between the buns? Or have you ever asked for a coffee with cream just to have a cup of coffee and a cup of whipped cream served to you separately? How badly has your order been misheard or taken too literally?
Misunderstood Food Orders That Are Too Funny Not To Laugh At
Well, waiters and baristas make mistakes sometimes because no one is perfect. So, a good rule of thumb is to say your orders very clearly and be specific. If you need to tell the waiter to mix the coffee and creamer to make coffee with cream then do so. But if you love surprises then you might enjoy being served with these little mistakes from time to time.
Here are some hilarious examples of wrong orders preserved for everyone to enjoy. Bon appetit!
