No, I haven't. But CDG topped the worst airport polls for many years. It is a chaotic, overcrowded mess with rude staff.

NYC airports also often top lists of worst airports in the world, not just for flyers but pilots as well. Flying into Newark (New Jersey) isn't much better either so there's no way to win.

This restaurant SUCKS. Don’t come here. On first walking in, despite the numerous empty tables they sat us with an old couple! Les inconnus! We had to ask to sit by ourselves. Apparently that’s the concept but I witnessed many people ask to be seated alone. Our waiter smells! Like poop! He’s chaotic and at one point just left the restaurant and didn’t come back for 10 minutes. And we were sat next to children and a woman with a booger in her nose. My steak had a hair. We never got water and the bill took hours to come! The only good thing was that they over served the wine. No salt nor pepper. And the whole place smelled like a barn. I want to give it a 0 but that’s not possible so I gave it a 1! Et pour les français… mais qu’est-ce que vous foutez dans ce resto? C’est pas de la vraie gastronomie française. Il y a pas du saveur, ni des épices pour améliorer la dégustation de l’alimentation immonde. Dégueulasse ! Et l’ambiance et chaotique et il faut s’installer à côté des inconnus. C’est quoi ce bordel?!

I make it a point to never enter any restaurant that has a sign outside , "mentioned in trip advisor, ranked number 1 on lonely planet", nor has a line to get in.

I’d have to be close to starvation before I’d even consider joining a queue for a table in a restaurant. Queues are for takeaway fish and chips and burgers.
