after the third time, and I wasn't trying to be difficult, I simply asked if they could
This would have made the “I’ll have what she’s having” scene in When Harry Met Sally a lot longer, but even more intriguing!

terracore's stories about bad luck here are legendary. The thing aboiut them is that have all been perfectly believable!

terracore is the guy you see walking under a ladder and then tripping over the black cat in front of him resulting in him smashing a mirror.
It's true my luck seems to run in one direction. It's a bit of a running joke among people who know me especially if there is any dining out. There is always a 90% chance that either they don't have what I try to order, I receive the wrong thing, or there is something seriously wrong with it beyond being bland (for example, food that is supposed to be hot, being frozen in the middle).
I remember one poor waiter coming back to the table after we ordered and was embarrassed to tell me that they were out of whatever it was ( I have long forgotten) so I ordered something else, and a few minutes later, came back even more embarrassed that they were ALSO out of that. Well you probably know where this is headed, after the third time, and I wasn't trying to be difficult, I simply asked if they could tell me what they DO have, instead of me playing menu-whack-a-mole. With 100% confidence he told me that he had already spoke with the kitchen and they were absolutely sure that with the exception of the three things I tried to order, they definitely could make anything else on the menu.
Wrong! Bland and wrong!
Just like the cheese shop.
