Public house annoyances

Lando Griffin · 12-10-2012 02:52PM #1

I am going to the pub tonight for a few to watch the big match in full HD and am fearful that I may later on in the night have to use the gents toilet.
You see last weekend I was there I had to go and discovered that there was no locking device on the door.
Since I had to go and it medically proven that yu should not hold on, I sat sweeting nervously foot at door at the thought that some one might barge in.
Luckily nobody did.
I was so embarresed I couldn't tell the bar maid ( early 20s and quite the looker ) that there was no lock on the door.

What annoys you most about our public houses?

Drunk people.

JohnMarston · 12-10-2012 02:53PM

The prices

Banjaxed82 · 12-10-2012 02:53PM

You talking about having a ****e or a piss?

seamus · 12-10-2012 02:53PM

People who refuse to share the toilet.

jester77 · 12-10-2012 02:54PM

Take a dump before you leave the house or are you going on guinness/curry marathon where you will have to take multiple dumps through the night?

CardBordWindow · 12-10-2012 02:54PM

People who don't alert the staff of maintenance issues.

A number 2 and quite the effort reaching for the door and keeping position right on target.

Barely secured...

...never mind

JohnMarston · 12-10-2012 03:11PM

Making as much noise as possible during your time in the toilet generally wards people from trying the door

When they've no bacon fries....

They are just amazing, the smiths ones.

Having a big screen with football on it and everyone glued to it

and the smell of farts

bodhrandude · 12-10-2012 03:40PM

Having a great big screen above your head playing the footie while your playing in a trad session.

JohnMarston · 12-10-2012 03:40PM

It also annoys me when i go to a pub and its so loud i have to yell at the people with me, or to the bartender, to get a drink.

Nothing beats a pub with a real fireplace though

Bring back smoking in pubs, people smell minging. Especially drunks.

MaroonAndGreen · 12-10-2012 03:43PM

Hate being left waiting at the bar, but I know too its not easy for the staff when there is a big crowd so im not really complaining :P

Shryke · 12-10-2012 03:45PM

Definitely the prices. Lots of great places but obscene prices. 20 euro on 4 pints. That's horrific. I paid 5.55 for a pint bottle in the Quays in Galway today. Lovely spot terrible prices.

I seen a guy clear a pub one night. He must have been on the Guinness for a few days, it was like the place was on fire, people tripping over each other to get out and the smelly feck just stood at the bar smiling and ordering

podgemonster · 12-10-2012 03:46PM

People who clumsily back into you and spill your drink and then don't even acknowledge your presence or apoligise.

I used to be a barman, and we had an issue like that in one of the toilets, though we never bothered to get it fixed, didn't see the point really, since in the 7 years I worked there, nobody ever tried to steal a shite

Moaners

People giving out about the banks, government, the prices of pints, people farting, no lock on the jacks

lucylu · 12-10-2012 03:54PM

Beer bottles that are not chilled
badly poured pints
warm wet glasses
the demise of the beermat
TVs on every wall showing poxy golf

MadsL · 12-10-2012 04:02PM

Lack of decent beer.

Me:What have you on draught?
Barman: We've pish, pish, pish and pish. And Bulmers and a foreign pish in bottles. :mad:

Meanwhile in a US Bar...7 Hand-crafted micro-brews on draft, another 30 in bottles.

westendgirlie · 12-10-2012 04:02PM

I could never do a number 2 anywhere but at home.

OP, do your business before you leave home tonight!
