    what about it if you were, the way I see it is its much easier for a fellow customer to pull them up on their behavior than the waitress who is told the customer is always right.

    That group sound like the type that would just tell you to fcuk off and mind your own business.

    Confronting them about their abysmal behaviour would have likely created an awkward situation for all involved and ruined the night for your own party as well as theirs. If I was there I'd have probably mentioned it to a manager as I was leaving just to ensure that they were aware of what the waitress had to put up with for the night.

    either that, or as you were leaving, politely walk past said table and tell them they were a complete pack of knobs, not stopping to allow a retort from them.

    TA that when you go to the toilets in work and the stink, I mean really stink but you go in anyway, and then when your coming out you meet someone on the way in and just know they will automatically blame you for the stink in there :(

    People who were vocal campaigners of lgbt equality coming up to the marriage referendum now making horrible comments about Caitlin Jenners mental state post - op.

    My TA is I'm scared of confrontation and can't call them out on how their attitude enrages me.

    Even worse if someone has left King Kong's finger in the bowl in one of the other traps that you haven't used :(

    To save valuable seconds, when I've finished using the urinal in work, I'll move towards the sink as I'm redoing my belt and zipping up my fly.

    Today I was completing this operation and stood in front of the sink just as someone else entered the toilets.

    I'm convinced it looked like I'd just taken a piss in the sink and felt a bizarre urge to explain to this person that I hadn't in fact pissed in the sink.

    The lady in the sandwich shop I frequent at lunchtime has an annoying habit of having to constantly open the lid of the panini maker ever few seconds to check on the panini.
    It's like a nervous condition.


    The end result is that the heat never build up to a sufficient degree (no pun intended) and the panini frequently emerges under-done.
    What's worse is that sometimes it can look ok, but when you get it back to the office, you realise that the cheese on the inside hasn't melted and sometimes is still at fridge temperature.
    It's disgusting when this happens - really disgusting!

    Sometimes I watch her constantly opening and closing the sandwich toaster lid and want to shout "Look, will you ever just leave the fcuking thing alone for a few minutes"

    I know I'd never be able to go back there if I did though.

    When someone says "ya gotta love (insert person/place/thing)" it irritates the life out of me and I don't know why :mad:

    I'm almost 19, customers at work constantly assuming I can't sell alcohol because, "you surely can't be 18 yet".
    Being asked was I preparing for my Junior Cert today (apparently I look that age).
    Customers constantly asking what class I'm in in school and if I plan on going to college.
    I'm in university FFS! :pac:

    to elaborate on your point, being patronised and undermined at work( and life in general) because of your age is a pain in the hole and a definite TA. ''ah sure you're only a kid, what would you know''? **** off

    It happens all the time. "Oh you must be new", or "can I speak with someone else" :confused:
    Since when does age define competency? I write for websites all the time, and since some of those articles are unpaid, nobody seems to care about my age. But in my paid job, yeah, only a clueless kid.. :rolleyes:
    And don't get me started about people not wanting me serving their kids due to my pink hair!!

    What's the story with people on Big Brother ruining their face with botox and surgery. The blonde one looks horrific and the Irish guy is completely frozen and he can't be more than about 28/29. Why like?

    Because I have anxiety problems and I could never do something like that. Not everyone is able to confront people they don't know.

    I used to feel that way. It gets easier every time you do it. Ninety nine times out of a hundred when you call a stranger to task on their obnoxious behaviour they get embarrassed and then cop on.

    That's annoying on so many levels.

    Enjoy it Lisa while you can. Soon, (relatively speaking) you will have to get used to being asked "can I help you to the car with that?"

    Ha ha yeah I feel ya, I get asked what I'm studying in college a couple of times a day and I'm 30+! Last time I remember getting asked for ID in a pub I was 26! lol Funny thing is I decided to go back to college to do a course this year as a mature student so I'll actually be able to answer their question for once.

    Men feeling the need to dress up as women and run in the mini marathon.

    Come on guys, get a life, it's not funny any more. Let the girls have their day out without you. You're not wacky you know.

    I don't know if they're trivial but I have a passionate hatred of mobile network providers, I don't trust a single word that comes out of rotten fcukin mouths!
