Actor Justin Long didn't make many friends when he was working as a waiter - because he deliberately messed up the orders.

The Jeepers Creepers star admits he would give diners the wrong food so it would be sent back for him to eat. He says, "I was terrible. I would forget orders, I would talk too much with people, I would like socialise at the tables and I would neglect other tables.

"The cooks all hated me. I would intentionally mess up orders because I knew they would send it back and I would get to eat it. I would be like 'You said 'can I have more bread?' I thought you said 'can I have a lobster?' I'm sorry, I'll just take that back.' And I'd have a nice lobster dinner. I had to manipulate the system."

And Long admits he wasn't surprised to learn the head chef gave him a derogatory Italian nickname, adding, "I had no idea what it meant for months, but I thought it was a term of endearment. It turned out it means something like f**k face." (LJ/WNWCKO/IG)
