People who think its ok to tie their dog up outside the pub on a freezing cold day whilst they have lunch :mad::mad::mad:

Watched someone let their dog piss all the restaurant floor of the expensive 'dog friendly' hotel I was staying in early January.

As I was eating, needless to say I was less than impressed.

Calling a football team after the manager.
Frank Lampard’s Everton.
Wayne Rooney’s Derby.
Steve Gerrard's Aston Villa.

A few years back it was Bruce's Villa.
Then it became Steve Bruce's Newcastle United.
Next up, I hear it might even be Steve Bruce's West Bromwich Albion.

Strange how I never heard the likes of Moyes's Manchester United.

Instructions that are either missing steps or not clear.

Changing a freezer door from left to to right hand today (have done it on freezers).

No saying which bolt hole to use and finally worked out it was the one so covered in paint that it could barely be seen
Took me a while to work out the top would not go back on because there was a very small plastic fascia that had to be moved for one side to the other no mention in the manual.
Had to take it apart again but because the mention of moving the door stop on the bottom the door was totally unclear.

Probably because everybody thought it was still Fergie’s United!

MrsA teaches a tech subject at a local comp. Kids are required by the exam board to photograph their GCSE and A-Level projects as they progress. The school has no cameras for them to use. The kids all own camera phones but are forbidden from removing them from their bags during the school day - no discretion or exceptions.
So MrsA has to either photograph each kid's work and email it to them individually or let them borrow our digital camera.

How are these kids going to learn about discretion, common sense and rational decision making.

My golf club emailed out about this year’s Christmas party (first one since 2019) and half an hour later emailed to say it was sold out.

When they ask for subs payment.. can you send a note saying ‘yes’ and then mail in 30 mins and say ‘sorry had to pay the utility bill’..

If the kids are forbidden to remove them from their bags can Mrs A take the phon efrom their bag and take the pic. Alternatively explain that for the project the kids need to take a pic.

She tried explaining it to management. No phones out of bags. No exceptions. It's bizarre what they prioritise.

Had a boat-ful of random irritations today .. but I'll stick to just the one ... Babies in restaurants.

Five minutes after we arrived, a group of people with babies in tow came in and sat two tables away. Babies promptly mewled, bawled and screeched, almost uninterrupted, for next hour & half ... And parents constantly going ooh, shush, there there shush, ooh ahh , shush for the same duration is just as irritating.

The bottom of the range VW T-CROSS I have been given as a loan car after my car was rear ended and is now getting repaired. Cheap tacky plastic everywhere.

I'm with you on that one and I'll throw in very young kids in pubs after 7.00pm. Usually bored out of their heads so whining or so full of sugar they are running around all over the place being loud and a nuisance. There are several Wetherspoons that this is a massive issue and so to be avoided. Unfortunately other pubs are becoming the same
