From funny customer meal requests to the list of unacceptable kitchen music, these chefs are sharing the wackiest antics going on in the back of house. On the subreddit r/KitchenConfidential, chefs, dish washers, and other back of house restaurant workers gather to share memes and talk about their workplaces. We've gathered some of the funniest and most popular posts so you can get a peek into the daily life of a chef.

My favorite of these memes and photos is the guy who ordered 150 pounds of fish, and got…one LARGE fish! These kinds of miscommunication must happen all the time, but perhaps not quite with a fish that giant.

Next up, at this restaurant, a grumpy dude tried to roast the waiter for serving him scallops with a fragment of a fish scale on it, only to have the entire restaurant turn against him and support the waiter.

How did they manage to place a complex order 16 minutes after close?
