Behodar:
I've heard stories from people so used to sauces etc. where they've gone to "proper" restaurants and then complained because the food is "plain".

Ah, autocondimenters. They'll pour salt and pepper onto anything you set in front of them before they've even tasted it.

Eva888: As bad as what tasted like an entire lemon squeezed on my pork schnitzel by the chef. Totally ruined the meal from first bite. Had ordered it many times before and it came plain.

Where was this? There are very few places that do schnitzel properly.

(This is probably the same complaint that Japanese people make about McSushi, French people make about croissandwiches, etc).

Pub meal in Miramar, Wellington. We go there for the schnitzel which was always fantastic before the lemon incident. I did suggest to the waiter that not everyone likes lemon and they could put it on the side so optional, plus it wasn’t stated in the menu. Hopefully this has stopped but next time will remind them when ordering.

Ah, pub schnitzel. If you're ever in Auckland, try Der Metz.

[Two more pages of schnitzel snob text deleted].

They also give you the option to eat your body weight in pork, labelled as "Pork hock" on the menu for some reason.

And that is despite the fact that the word "pritty" does not exist has been pointed out a number of times.

Ya have to suck it up. I’ve come to terms with it and smile with recognition when I see it. The comments are always so thoughtful and helpful so it’s now become their signature.

The ridiculous number of web sites where you have to use Google to figure out how to sign out from them. Not sure how much of it is dark patterns and how much is just developer stupidity.

Websites where you try and update your password from an old one and it won't let you continue because the old password doesn't meet the new minimum criteria.

Ummm, that's why I'm trying to change it?

Any meal served with things not mentioned in the menu.

My most common instance being scrambled eggs served with chives. I detest chives and imo no member of the onion family has a place in scrambled egg. Ever.

If the menu said “scrambled eggs with chives” then I’d ask for no chives. Absent that information, I now have to enquire every time I order scrambled eggs on the off chance that the chef has signed a pact with Satan to adulterate my breakfast!

The local kebab shop is like that. There's a list of sauces, e.g. hummus, yoghurt, mayo, etc. They ask which sauces you want. "Yoghurt and mayo please". It arrives with yoghurt, mayo and hummus.

Are you still having that problem? I just don't order scrambled eggs to save the hassle. Akin to coating good food with sesame seeds. Ruins it.

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.
