Watch Out, Waiter!

My friend invited me and my family to eat brunch with her family at their country club. It was a really fancy buffet, so my parents said that we had to be on our best behavior. I took some pancakes, syrup, and what I thought was whipped cream. I spread so much of the “whipped cream” on my pancakes that they instantly turned white. I took a huge bite…and that’s when I found out it was not whipped cream but horseradish sauce! I spit it out so fast, it hit the waiter in the face as he was arriving with our drinks. Everyone started laughing—it was mortifying! We were not invited to that country club again!

Horse Radish...ewww

YUCK i dont like horse radish, its to icky! if you want my advice, then i would invite your family’s friends out for dinner, and show them that you can be neat, and polite, just make sure that you use the Correct condements, and you’ll show them that you are a polite girl.

Embarrasing but Hilarious!

That must have been like so embarrasing but at the same time that sounds SO funny! Maybe you should just look back and laugh at it right now! If that would have happened to me i would have either hid under the table or blamed it on someone at another table! Trust me things so much more embarrasing have happened to ME! YIkes! But don’t worry about it people make mistakes. You never know when something even more embarrasing can happen but still just be cool about it! Take my advice!

Omg. That was

Omg. That was embarresing!!!!! Something like that happened to me

Something...

Something like that happened 2 me. Well, I didn’t do the exact same thing u did but it was something embarressing at a counrty club. Well, my friend and I were going 2 this party at a country club, and the waiter was about my age. He was SUPER CUTE so of course I got this major crush on him. I was flashing smiles at him all day and he was smiling back, so I was like, “Yes! He likes me!” I was wearing this super-cute blue dress and I thought I looked really nice, so I was like, sure that nothing could go wrong. Then I was sitting down at the table we were eating at, and I was still smiling at the waiter. And I thought my chair was right underneath me, so I just sat down, not looking where I was sitting, still smiling at the waiter. But my chair was farther away from the table than I thought, so I hit the edge of it and slammed into the table, in front of EVERYONE…. including my crush!!

wow

well thats embarrassing, but i bet he likes you and thinks your funny.

Re: Wow

Thanks for replying to my comment! and Thanks for your encouragement! Just what I needed 2day! You’re really great, even though I don’t know you!

oooooooooo

thats 2 bad well @ least that didnt hapen 2 moi well c u l8r

Same but not exactly

One day when we were heading back to our house from an out of state trip we stopped at Perkins and i ordered some pancakes. i love whipped cream and a saw a little bucket full so i put it on my pancakes and i swiped it up with a fork and all of a sudden i realized it was butter everybody saw me doing “the incident” and burst into laughs including the waiter. Now every time i eat pancakes my family mocks me but i just laugh because if that wasn’t me i would be crying because i was laughing so hard.

och!

OMG thats embaresing trust me i would have done the same thang if i eat horseradish sause LOL LOL LOL trust me i have horses.i dont think they should not invite you back .

um… srry to burst ur

um… srry to burst ur bubble, but horseraddish sauce DOESNT come from horses!!!!!

~skyla~

i would never eat a horseraddish if it was made from a horse

i agree it is not made from a horse. i would never eat a horseraddish if it was made from a horse. Plus it would taste really odd and disusting. C U L8R Alligator

Wow!

       I am so sorry for you! I think those people should invite you back, it could have happened to anyone! Once i was making hot cocoa for me and coffee for my mom. I got them mixed up and put marshmellows in the coffee. ( My crush just happened to be there.) I completely hate coffee so when i took a sip of the " hot cocoa" I spit it out all over my crush ! And then , while I was trying to wipe it off the table , I fell out of my chair, and everyone started laughing at me . And you know what I did, I sat there and cryed!

Ick!

That must have been soooo embarassing,but the bright side is that everyone you saw there will never possibly see you again,and people sometimes forget stuff like that in a week or so.

That would be yuko

All i have to say is, i would spit into a napkin! that is so funny! : )Whoops! sorry

NOOOO Kidding

If that happened to me, I’d move to jupiter!! Atleast you have the guts to still live on earth!

Wow that must have been so gross! I’ve done that before. I was at a buffet, and I picked up a hot dog, and drowned it in “ketchup”, but when I took a bit out of it, I realized it was not ketchup, but HOT SAUCE!
