Unsuccessful Surprise

Over the weekend a group of my friends tried pulling off a surprise dinner for my friend Kait for her birthday.  It was the most unsuccessful thing that I have ever been a part of.  The evening began with all of us meeting up at a sushi restaurant downtown call Shari Sushi, come to find out the reservation for 20 people was not saved in their system and they had no records of it occurring…that was the first problem of the evening.  A few of us started calling around the other restaurants in the area and ended up at Kait’s second favorite restaurant Hawkers, they said that the wait would be about an hour for 20 people; which was expected on a Friday night for such a large group last minute.  Well Kait should up, she acted surprised, come to find out, she had already found out about the surprise…After waiting to sit for over an hour and a half we started complaining to the host and trying to find out why the wait was taking so long when they told us it would only be an hour, and they were seating people at empty tables…two hours went by and nothing.  After we wasted two and a half hours waiting, and fighting with the host at Hawkers we called around again to different places in the area and found a restaurant that would accommodate such a large group last minute.  Once we got there, half of the group went to one restaurant and the other half went to the correct restaurant, this confusion caused the one group to leave the correct restaurant and go to this run down hole in the wall mess of a restaurant.  After hours of frustration and hunger, four different groups of people split off and went to different restaurants.  The moral of this story is, this is what happens when 20 friends try to surprise one person, something is bound to go wrong.
