No. 352 I am a bit Victor Meldrewish but this particular one drives me nuts. We went out for dinner the other night. I ordered steak with a Diane sauce and chips. Lo and behold it turns up on a block of wood. Half the sauce promptly runs off into the gully cut into the edge. As soon as you move one part of the meal with your fork another part drops off the side. And then there's the chips. As per the current fad they arrive sitting in their own pot. There's absolutely no room to empty them on to my slab of wood so I have to eat them out of the pot. Which means I have to salt them about four times as only the top layer ever gets the salt. Then, finally, the block goes back with my knife cuts in it in addition to hundreds if others all with food ingrained in them. You can't tell me that's easy to properly clean. Bloody faddishness for serving food on owt bar a plate drives me crazy!
People handing appointment letters to receptionists still in their envelopes without speaking. It's arrogance, rudeness and laziness rolled into one.
People buying stuff at the till whilst still on there phone's, whilst the till person is waiting for them to finish to tell them what the cost is. They are probably thinking you uneducated, ill mannered, rude little lovely person
Oh yes. With you all the way. I have that many Pet hates, i set up a Facebook Group for the sole purpose of having a rant. It’s quite cathartic, even though there’s only me and my sister in the group! Here’s a selection though: Shop assistants carrying on their conversation whilst people wait in line. Stupid basket presentation things for chips Endless namechecks by contestants on radio. Nobody cares. “ My bad “ Chef types who look at you as if you’ve killed a child because you’ve asked for your steak medium to well done. Anyone who uses the words “hun” “famalam” “hubster” “holibobs” Noisy eating. People who insist on taking the first car park space they see in a multi story, even though there are loads of spaces further on. So the line of cars has to wait whilst selfish driver manoeuvres. People who have lost “house cats” . They want to go out and roam. Only you have decided it’s a house cat. Triple cooked chips. Jazz - just please stop going on and on. Intolerance.
Oh. and people who dont say thankyou when you have held a door open for them, it happened to me the other day at school, I waited for a group of parents to come through the gate at school with there kids ( they were late) not one said thanks until i made sure i thanked them personally after they had walked through and reminded them they have kids and need to set standards.
Oh and people who say " respect your elders" Noooooo, respect everybody until they give you a reason not too, just because someone is old it doesn't mean they are a good person just as it doesn't mean a young lad drinking stella on a street corner is necessarily a bad person
