Do you have any good and humorous chow line disaster stories?

I was just getting a corn muffin at the breakfast bar and as I'm waiting to get some butter, here's this slob in front of me dropping fruit juice into the butter and jelly into the cream cheese by using the same serving spatula for both instead of the right one. Of course they walk away and don't even acknowledge the mess they made. Had to call a service person myself to put a new thing of butter out - I don't particularly care for OJ in my butter. Any other good chow line lunacy or food bar FUBARs stories out there?

The mess hall at NAS Mayport FL had waiters when I was there. No joke. Waiters and bus boys. The AF mess hall above looks slightly exaggerated by my experience, slightly.

When I am overseas, in a combat post, I always think that is a bad idea to eat seafood, particularly if you are in a small FOB or COB. But lo and behold, my fellow soldiers "miss their seafood". Can tell you stories of how their rears got in a pickle, in the already full porta john, or almost filled up drums. LOL

In a Marine chow hall, every meal was a disaster. Funny how they can cook chicken a dozen different ways. If its baked, its raw in the center and everything else looks like a product of 1945 Hiroshima (and all ways taste like it)
I did a few weeks on mess duty. One time we got lettuce in. They came in big crates. HUGE heads of lettuce. They were so rotten they looked like the were covered in molasses. The mess NCO just said peal it back until you reach good product. Well, they were the size of base balls by time we did.

boot camp. one of my fellow recruits was so nervous that his stomach violently rejected the food that he had ingested...all the way across the table. We sat there in stunned silence having just been projectile vomited on & waiting for the hell that was sure to be unleashed upon him.
Imagine our relief when we heard the TI chuckle & walk up to the table. "Go wash off, Mt Vesuvius" was all he said as he tried so hard to suppress the laughter.

I am trying very hard to not imagine that same scenario occurring at a Marine boot camp chow hall circa 1975 --- I don't even want to think about how different the outcome would have been. ;-)

Yeah, it was the exact opposite of what we were expecting. We were expecting to have to clean the whole hall & a myriad of other hells.

what was so nervous about basic. I remember once during a training exercise here we are conducting with the army and the army had the MREs out and guess wat our first sergeant and our chief showed up with the Dominos. we're eating pizza and wings while the army was eating MREs.
