It was late at night and my parents were driving to a pizza place. We not only had a reservation with the place, but had also already ordered in advance. I asked if either of them had ever eaten at there - they had not.

Alongside our pizza was a giant fried potato in the place of regular fries. We received notice that the place was closing for the night soon and that we were going to be charged for every minute we overstayed. I started stuffing my face with food and slurped down the coffee pudding in an attempt to finish it all before being charged extra.
