Where I go camping in Ontario I find roaches just about everywhere I set up camp. BLECH.

Anyway.

Here's a good one from just a couple days ago! I went out to dinner with a colleague from work the other night, and we decided to eat at Friendly's restaurant. I ordered a sort of steak stir fry served over rice. I took a few bites of it and decided it tasted very strongly of fish. I asked my dinner companion to taste it and tell me if she thought it tasted odd, and she agreed that it did. I'd never sent food back in my life, but quickly decided I could not stomach this odd tasting food. I continued picking around at my food until the server returned so that I could complain. As I did so I found an inch long piece of paper in my food. It turned out to be part of the paper wrapper that had surrounded the steak. Written on the piece of paper was the "use by" date, which was out dated! Blech!
