Fly in your Soup?

About the worst thing that I have ever had in my meal at a restuarant that shouldn't have been there, would be just a plain old hair. I was talking to a friend of mine and he told me a story about when he was a prep cook.
Apparantly he had a band-aid on his finger and sometime while he was preping the salads the bandaid disappeared. He said he started looking for it but knew exactly what was going on when he heard some lady causing a comotion out in the eating area and sure enough she found a bloody bandaid in her salad. Got me thinking, maybe a few people on GB have a horror story or two about what they found in their food. ??

    Why do people flip out, scream, holler, whatever...when they find a hair in their food at a restaurant, but if the same thing happens at home, they usually just take the hair, push it to an empty spot on the plate, or put in the garbage and carry on like nothing happened...

    Is there a diff between your hair or your spouses hair to that of a complete stranger?...
    I am not saying a hair in food or anything else is okay, what I am asking is why the diff?...why make such a fuss in public but at home you just toss it?..

    Not something I found in the food, but I was in the restroom at a fast food place. A guy in the company uniform was there using the urinal. He finished and headed straight for the door. I said, "Hey, aren't you going to wash you hands?" His response: "There's a sink in the kitchen." I probably should have said something to the manager but I didn't. It put me off of that fast food place, even in other locations for awhile, but then I thought, it likely happens a lot in restuarants everywhere.

    What if there were no hypothetical questions?

    For some people, raising a fuss because they find a hair (or ?) in their food, is so they can get the meal for free. When paying good money for a meal, do you expect good clean food, or do you accept having hairs, flies, cockroaches in it?

    Not in my food, but I had a cockroach crawl out of the planter, and run across the table once. [xx(]

    For me,I just pull hair out of the food and I keep eating. No big deal.
    Tha bloody bandaid would be a different story.
    And your exactly right. The show isn't that something was found in the meal, but the show is the big performance by the person who finds it. Funny stuff
