Haha, there was a bloke on the train yesterday - about 50 I reckon (IMHO that's not old, but I realise you may disagree, IA!). He was a real scruffy hippy type. He was standing up to get something from the luggage rack, and I was talking to him about his son. He tried really hard to look me in the eye when he was talking, but his eyes kept involuntarily drifting down to my cleavage, it was quite funny! :lol:

His son was called 'Shadrack' or something like that?! A bible name, I think. What a name, poor kid!


Poor sod ..isn't the the name of the scruffy dude from Emmerdale ??

Ah, yes, just looked it up, ewww he's not so easy on the eye, is he?! That's even worse then, ugh poor kid!

My nieces (aged 3 and 5) were having a pretend telephone call yesterday. One said 'Hello, I'm phoning up to sell you things.' The other one said 'I'm not interested, bye' and pretended to slam the phone down. :lol:

-Guests who do not appreciate the individual behind the front desk of a hotel, expressing their rudeness
-Guests who ask you a question and decide to fully explain every single detail of the question instead of letting me speak
-Glenn Beck
-The jackasses on news networks who sit at a round table, yelling and talking over each other with no respect at all
-Kathy Griffin
-Closed-minded people (i.e. those who judge purely on looks)


So basically...guests.

I have great sympathy with anyone who has to work with the general public on a daily basis. I'm with Marty Crane - people suck.


People DO suck. And I have sympathy for myself too :lol:

Acting is seriously what I want to do with my life. But since this is not always a promising career, I needed something to fall back on. Hopefully acting will end up being my future...I keep pushing for it.

Ok new one born this morning ...people who put their cups of tea NEXT to the coaster on the desk :evil: :roll: it will take 2 seconds to actually put it where it should be .

Actually thinkin of lining up several coasters on the desk colour them in luminous green with those marker pens ..rather like a runway for planes then praps the old bag in the office can get it onto the bloody thing using her bingo wings to guide he cuppa into land gr!

Get some red tape and make little arrows all over the desk, pointing to the coaster. A subtle hint. :D

I have been brought up to respect my elders, but when your waiting to get on a coach and the physically Push you out of the way sending my stuff flying to make sure they get on, when she was the last to arrive it kinda irritates me.

I was brought up exactly the same, but some of them are just downright rude!

Oh, yes, forget the idea I suggested, you should soooo do the superglue thing! You also need to hide and watch their reaction. It would be hilarious.

I know I have complained about them before but customers, I wish I could make a sign for the top of the counter that say "No you can't choose you get what you are given" but I don't think that counts as HOT service ;)

I can picture woggle with coaster fingers now!!

And Kat, I was chatting to my Sis at work the other day, and a woman came up to her and asked the difference between the apple and apple and custard pies.... Then asked her colleague if they could slice the reduced apple pie for her...

I dont think I have ever laughed so hard, and think it takes a lot not to be rude or laugh in their faces!

Reminds me of my colleague's tannoy announcement, which I'm sure I've shared with you guys before:

This is a chicken announcement. On our deli today, we have hot roast and barbecued customers reduced to just £1.50 each.
