Inform the bitch in charge that people actually work from home in 2016.
The concept will floor her. Probably breastfed her kids till they were old enough to go to school.

It would be very hard to do pretty much any job I have had from home, not everyone is an office worker.

Yes, this!

Drives me nuts. Are these people so stupid and unaware of the disruption to the flow of pedestrians they are causing?! Or is it just plain selfishness.

On a similar theme, another bug bear are people handing out free newspapers etc in the middle of a busy place where people are walking. Couple of guys standing outside of Monument, right by the entrance, where there is already a restricted area due to building works. They just get engulfed by a sea of people and cause un necessary further blockages. Morons!

I had a couple of days in Chester and spent an evening in the 'Smokehouse', a US barbecue style restaurant.. alfresco, right on the river nice location etc, and the food was ok, beer marvelous and priced accordingly.. I ordered pulled pork & fries.
My meal arrived with the pork presented in a mess tin, the fries in a plant pot, a portion of slaw in a cup cake case with all 3 receptacles arriving on a plank of driftwood ..
Using any utensils with the mess tin produced a 'nails down a chalkboard' scraping effect which made for an uncomfortable experience. Service and staff were nice but please sort this ridiculousness out.

Yes, yes, YES!

Goes double for those ignorant selfish f*ckwits who, upon exiting from baggage reclaim and finding themselves in the airport arrivals hall, immediately stop plumb in the middle of the exit gangways while they decide whether they want to take a pee or get a coffee at Costa.

There's people from six other flights who want to get home stuck behind you, you SOBs! :veryangry

When they come back to you after a couple of minutes to ask if everything is okay with your meal, ask them for a plate whilst giving them a disgruntled look. And don't tip.

Is there anyone who actually thinks serving food this way is a good idea?

T*ssers who bring bikes (including folding bikes) on commuter trains during the rush hours………ride the f**king thing.

Best action I’ve seen against these t*ssers was in France. I saw a passenger dismantle someone’s bike with a Swiss army knife while the owner was sitting reading their paper. When they came to get off in Nice, their bike was in bits by the exit door.

Her latte sipping friends insist she returns to the workforce to start feeling good about herself again.
Long time friend of the family senior manager does old golfing buddy husband a favour and gives bitch a job, hiding bitch in a role completely unrelated to the bottom line.
A long time ago she stopped putting out for hubby and is going to make male folk in general pay for her persistant migraines and frequent insomnia.
A real delight to have around the place.
They just won't shut the f**k up about Lukey's toilet training and Teisha's offering to the tooth fairies. I'm trying to shed the effects of last nights 10 jars and bitch is moaning about a "synergy" issue within the department.
Needs pushing in front of oncoming traffic.

You're talking about the steps out of the Arthur W, yes?

Wow. Just wow.

Fvck. Right off.

This new fan-dangled idea with selling houses that state 'buyers fees apply' which ultimately means they want the buyer to pay for THEIR estate agent fees. F--k off comes to mind. No matter how much I liked a house would I pay someone else's fees purely from the moral side more than anything else. Or I would just add the fee on top of the offer price, and tell them so!

I don't buy a car on Autotrader and hear the fella say when I look at it "you can pay for my edvert which you saw the car in too son".

Talk about taking the piss!

Yes, a hotel just outside Trowbridge in Wiltshire that I won't name just in case they feel uppity. Just put the meal on a plate so I can eat it normally, you plonkers.

It's so true I do menus for a bar/restaurant who serve chips in 'mini chip frying baskets'. Everyone just empties the c*nts onto their plates. Pointless waste of money for them to buy all those things. Might seem like a 'fun' idea at the time but think about it. People want their grub on a plate.

That reminds me there was once a curry house in Norwood Road that served every dish from 'the cracks of their arses'. F*cking shithole.

An equally effective treatment is when they announce at the tube station that the train won't leave until the bike is removed.

Going anywhere in the concourses of that stand is a nightmare.
