<\/p>\nFrank had always prided himself on his sneaky tactics to get freebies, but his luck ran out at a high-end restaurant. What began as a simple meal turned into a public spectacle when karma finally caught up with him, teaching him a lesson he never saw coming.<\/p>\n
My father-in-law, Frank, has always been one of those people who never miss an opportunity to scam others for their own benefit.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve witnessed him do that multiple times, but I never thought I\u2019d see the day when his tricks would backfire so spectacularly, leaving him red-faced and scrambling for an exit.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve known Frank for about nine years now. I first met him when Ethan and I started dating, and Ethan introduced us over dinner at a restaurant. That was the first time I saw Frank trying to scam a restaurant.<\/p>\n
The waiters served our food, and we began eating. I ordered pasta, Ethan got a sandwich, and Frank ordered a bowl of rice with sesame chicken.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe chicken is so delicious!\u201d Frank said, enjoying his meal.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, even this sandwich tastes great,\u201d Ethan added.<\/p>\n
I thought Frank was just appreciating the restaurant\u2019s food and service. But no. Frank had something else in mind, and what he did next caught me completely off guard.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet me show you how to get more of the same meal for free!\u201d he said before calling a waiter over to our table.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow can I help you, sir?\u201d the waiter asked politely.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThis chicken tastes awful!\u201d Frank said angrily, shaking his head in disapproval. \u201cI can\u2019t believe you\u2019re serving such tasteless meals. The flavor is bland, and it\u2019s not even properly cooked.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so sorry, sir,\u201d the waiter apologized. \u201cI\u2019ll get a replacement right away.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHurry up!\u201d Frank snapped. \u201cI don\u2019t have time to waste here. You better return with something that\u2019s properly cooked!\u201d<\/p>\n
The waiter looked panicked, apologizing as if he was at fault. He took away the half-eaten meal that Frank pretended to dislike, promising to return in five minutes.<\/p>\n
Once the waiter left, Frank flashed us an evil smile like he had pulled off something impressive.<\/p>\n
At that point, I wanted to ask Frank why he lied to get another meal for free. It wasn\u2019t like he didn\u2019t have money, or he was dying of hunger.<\/p>\n
What he did was so cheap, but I believed I was not in a position to make him realize how wrong he was.<\/p>\n
Later that night, I asked Ethan why his father did that.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s always been like this,\u201d Ethan sighed. \u201cHe thinks it\u2019s funny and he never listens when we tell him it\u2019s wrong. We\u2019ve tried a million times, trust me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut didn\u2019t you see how hurt that waiter was? He really thought your dad didn\u2019t like the food,\u201d I protested. \u201cThis is so wrong, Ethan. So unfair.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ethan told me to let it go, and since we were just starting our relationship, I figured it wasn\u2019t worth arguing over.<\/p>\n
I could\u2019ve pressed Ethan to understand how wrong Frank\u2019s actions were, but I didn\u2019t want something so minor to strain our relationship.<\/p>\n
However, looking back, I wish I had told Ethan to put an end to his dad\u2019s habit.<\/p>\n
The following year, Ethan and I tied the knot, and since then, I\u2019ve been a witness to how cheap Frank is. I\u2019ve watched in horror as he pulled stunts to get free food, free services in hotels, and free ANYTHING, ANYWHERE!<\/p>\n
During the first year of our marriage, I tried explaining to Ethan how wrong his father\u2019s behavior was, but it led to a big argument. Ethan kept saying he had no control over Frank, while I insisted he at least talk to his dad about it.<\/p>\n
That night, I decided to stop meddling in Frank\u2019s business because it was useless. Little did I know, karma was about to step in and teach Frank a lesson he\u2019d never forget.<\/p>\n
It all started when Frank called Ethan last weekend.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a new restaurant near my workplace,\u201d he said. \u201cI was wondering if you and Bella could join me. I\u2019ve heard the food\u2019s quite expensive so I just wanna see if it\u2019s worth the money.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSure, Dad,\u201d Ethan replied. \u201cWe\u2019ll be there.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
