Mine weren't too serious: My fringed shawl caught on fire, once, when I reached across a lit candle for something. I also splattered a woman when I bit into a cherry tomato before my mouth was completely closed. I know mine are nothing compared to your stories. So, what happened with YOU?

When I owned my restaurant, a waitress once came back to me and said "it's raining in the basement" Turns out it was a sewer pipe that broke. Then there was the time I had two full prime ribs in the oven overnight in anticipation of a busy night the next night, but had forgotten to turn the oven ON. I tried to put another one in but the slices looked like raw liver. Power outages because the city decided to work on the lines right during rush hour, and scrambling to find all the candles.
Because of that, most stuff that goes wrong while dining out are all minor.

I had just sat down to a late afternoon meal with the San Francisco Earthquake hit in 1989. We ducked under the table and rode the wave, but when we got up the entire restaurant was in shambles.

I worked at a McDonald's drive-thru when I was 15. This lady came thru with a humongus order and I could hardly hear what she was saying because the intercom system sucked! I asked her to repeat her order like 5 times before I thought I had it right. Turns out I still didn't and she came back...came in....and complained big time! Although she did say I was really nice.

A tornado hit while we would have been starting out meal. Everyone was rushed into the kitchen, one girl was burned, and we went into the freezer. Unfortunately, the tornado decimated the whole town, including the restaurant.

I was in a Chinese place and a roach crawled up my leg and at another place the Pupu platter serving thing broke and spilled the liquid flames all over the table

I was at a fish fry in Arizona when my 5 year old son grabbed a waitress's bum, she turned around, and directly looked at me thinking it was me, and my ex mother, and father-in-law laughed their hind ends off, and I was embarrassed as all hell to say the least.
