So check this out, hubby and I are trying a new restaurant. It was actually pretty good. Shortly after our food arrives, hubby picks up his tea and when something fell off, I thought it was a drop of water from condensation. But since he's a crap magnet to the tenth power he knew it wasn't that simple. Hes looking all over the table and I see it- under the edge of his plate- a big ol nasty roach!!!!!!
Not a palmetto bug! And to me there is still a difference.
Anyway I put a napkin on it and smacked it with my hand.
I live in Florida and I understand there are bugs, so I calmly and quietly say to the waitress, "you guys have a problem". And showed her the half alive critter under the napkin. Her response was a shrug while saying, "I don't understand, we spray- but it seems like it gets worse after we spray".... WHAT!!!??? Not only was she not surprised, but admittedly this is a recurrent problem. I'm thinking it's time to switch bug companies!
You all just don't understand- I have no fear of bugs, not snakes frogs or spiders. But roaches disgust me!! And it's not all due to stereotype. They are not to often seen, not by me anyway, and when they are it's always in a questionable atmosphere.
I thought that stuff only happened on tv!! Ugh!!

+ 1000 I would insist to not pay for the meal and leave...forever. A fly is bad enough but roaches... NO, not when they are dropping off the plates and cups...eeeewwww TO THE MAX.

A two inch long flying cockroach is still a cockroach.
They really need to switch pest control companies. Bugs are a fact of life in Florida. Down here the bugs are bigger...stronger...faster and numerous. That said, I wouldn't eat at that place ever again. Roach infested restaurant's are not acceptable.

I don't get as grossed out by the palmettos. Maybe their wings hide their ugliness!!
But no we didn't pay for the food. That was their offer not our request.

I had a taco salad come with the extra fresh protein. They tried to bring me another salad. I'm like "excuse me, you don't really expect me to believe I got the only bug in your greens do you? I'll just have a drink and visit with my friends. They took it back but when they brought out the check they tried to charge for the taco salad, and not by accident. "We offered to replace the salad you didn't like sir" How friggin stupid can you get. I had been quiet and polite up to that point. As far as I know I am still banned from the Fiddlers three restaurant. I stood up and in a loud but not yelling voice said "So are you going to charge me extra for the bug in the salad or is it just regular price you expect me to pay". It was almost on cue everyone starts looking at their plates really close. I was asked to leave, no charge.

My older brothers were in Oklahoma running an oil field for some rich lawyers my sister in law worked for. They had to fly out for a meeting in Las Vegas over the weekend. When they got back they were still about half drunk. The younger of the two goes in to use the bathroom and the oldest starts eating a pizza they ordered Friday before flying out and hadn't had a chance to finish. He was already through two or three slices when the other came out of the bathroom. The older brother thought he was pretty slick until the younger on grabbed the last slice and asks "Who puts rice on a pizza". They flipped on a light and that slice and the one the older brother was working on had maggots on them. To this day the older brother wont eat pizza.
