Left some shoes in to be fixed.
When do you need them he says to me.
I answer ' no panic. Whenever they are ready is fine'.
'Say tomorrow at this time?'he says.
Grand

Tomorrow at this time - sorry they are not ready yet.

Kettles in hotel bedrooms which smell of urine.

Ragnar Lothbrok · 11-07-2019 1:12pm

Rooms in hotels that are miles away from the smoking area.

Airports that don't have a smoking area in the departure lounge.

Public buildings that don't allow you to smoke even when you're outside in the grounds.

Sports stadiums like the Aviva, the Etihad, Pairc Uí Chaoimh and Dagenham & Redbridge stadium (!) that don't allow you to smoke anywhere within the stadium even though there's plenty of open air spaces that would suit.

Non-smokers who whinge about "smoke breaks" even though these are the same people that spend hours on personal calls or gossiping in the corridors.

Don't get me wrong here, I have always been 100% in favour of the smoking ban in the workplace and public buildings, but some of the restrictions are ridiculous.

I absolutely do not agree with fellow smokers congregating around the entrances of hospitals (or any other public place) but in all fairness, open air smoking in a secluded space isn't going to affect anyone apart from the smokers themselves.

I'm so TA'd now, that I'm going to go for a long, hard smoke (outside of course).

I have two voicemails but can’t listen to them until I set up my greeting, which I don’t want to do. Clearly there was a default one already there, hence the voicemail being left in the first place. So why not just let me listen and then create one after if I want to? Grumble.

Noisy fridges in hotel rooms..til be plugged out soon..gonna put a towel in it to soak up the moisture..

Noisy stuff generally in hotel rooms and lights shining that you can't turn off.
What do people be thinking when designing hotels rooms?

Constant noisy fan, check.
Red light on ceiling, check.
Bright blue light on TV in standby, check.
Loud fridge, check.
No socket anywhere near bed, check.
Bizzare, confusing light switches, check.

Are you me ??
Plugged out tv as it had a red light you'd see from space..
Having said that it was so beaufifully quiet, no outside noise, no noise from other guests, no cows bellowing, dogs barking, wind howling.
I guess after a couple of nights in a hostel anything would be heaven..

I know when I worked in hotels if you took the card key out of the light socket you'd deactivate the TV/Airconditioning.
Nothing to be done about the fridge tough or the red safety light.

Oh, and 14 pillows and cushions that have to be stacked in the corner in the hope that the covers don't get laundered anyway.

And the towels that they change despite you carefully hanging them on the rail.

Or when they clean your room and change your towels even though you asked them not to.

Towels often get used to wash the floor/shower/surfaces in the room.
Basically you've nothing else to wipe the floor with unless you use a fresh towel and you'd probably get in trouble for doing it.

Never use a glass/kettle/mug in a room. The same manky towels are used to clean everything.

Let me guess... Vodafone? I'm fuming with them. Four times in the space of three years did I have to set up my greeting from scratch, four times did the assure me it was just a glitch, that setting it up again would resolve the issue once and for all. Guess what? It's not working, for the fifth time. :mad:

I read somewhere on Boards that kettles have been removed from many hotels after it was discovered that people were using them to wash their underwear. Gross.

I got a travel kettle with works with all currents and bring it pretty much everywhere with me.

Left an overheated meeting on the pretence of doing some follow up work, colleague asks if I was having a hot flush, given I was sitting in a window and marooned faced a fair but wrong assumption.

She followed this up with lucky you, getting out of meeting and not needing contraception any more.

What the absolute f8ck !

the beer revolu · 11-07-2019 2:49pm

I know someone who while sharing a hotel room, after a load of drink, was caught short while companion was in the bathroom, so he pissed in the kettle.

Strangest part of the story is a that he admitted it! No one would ever know if I did that!

Bredabe · 11-07-2019 2:52pm

When I took my now job, I insisted that have a work from home clause as I have health issues that are exacerbated greatly by dry air/ many many airborne allergies and an all round dislike of working with ppl and noise.

So this afternoon and tonight I'll be based at home, brill, except that next door is painting and the crew are frantically gardening for the competition this week.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Apollinaris · 11-07-2019 3:01pm

I’m annoyed by all broadband providers in this country, all just a big cosy cartel with pretty much the same prices from all of them, the same boring limited time offers no matter where you switch. Extremely expensive service for something what they claim for example it’s a 100mbit/s it’s only really 5-10 if you are unlucky. I’m really sick of all of them.

Ragnar Lothbrok · 11-07-2019 3:03pm

So, if someone p!sses in the kettle, but the kettle is then emptied and filled again, then boiled, is the water clean enough to drink?

I'm not condoning kettle-pissing here, just wondering, as I've obviously used hotel kettles many times (though I will probably not be doing so in future).

It's quite a TA that I even have to ask this question. Who in God's name p!sses in a kettle? :mad::mad::mad:

I always boil the kettle, then throw out, then clean the cups again and boil back again.
I also never ever leave my toothbrush on the sink or in the cup, i put it in my toiletry bag. God knows what people would be doing with it.

Did people die of handkerchieferitis in the past?

castletownman · 11-07-2019 4:23pm

A visitor used our only toilet in work earlier. Paid no heed until about an hour after he left, only to discover he left a floater resting in the bowl. Eugh.

If it was a young lad I would write it off as immaturity, but he was a senior.

I've posted about it in here before, but I work in a large office and it never ceases to amaze me how grown adults leave the jacks behind them. To the point where signs had to be put up in each cubicle to instruct people to flush after every use. I'm on the verge of putting up a sign telling people not to p!ss all over the toilet seat

My TA for today is having a low phone battery, plugging it in, and coming back an house later to see that I hadn't connected it properly, so still have the low battery

Do you think every person who blows their nose has immediate access to hot water and soap ? Its not possible to be spotless and immaculate all the time
If we have healthy , challenged immune systems we should be able to handle someone not running to sterilise their hands every time they use a hanky

I was at college when it was ten years since 9/11. I mentioned it to a guy and he was nearly 21 at the time and he had no idea what it was.

von Smallhausen · 12-07-2019 10:14am

The Three ad with the All you can eat unlimited crap.
T&C's state a fair use policy of 60GB and can be limited.

"Three continuously monitors network performance to ensure that the service received by customers is not impacted through a minority of users placing high demand on network resources (e.g. large bandwidths over long periods). Should your data usage exceed 60GB in a billing cycle for Bill pay customers (a 28 day period for prepay customers) and your usage affect other network users, we reserve the right to limit the Service."

I know 60GB is a big chunk of data to go through, but it could easily be done.

I was in the middle seat of a 14 hour flight with a horrible cold like this. I asked the flight attendant was there any possibility of moving seats because I felt so bad for the people next to me, he wouldn't even entertain me. I tried.
