Annoying in that when I got there the place was 95% empty, but they insisted on seating ALL the subsequent arrivals in 1 small area by the door, leaving 2/3rd of the tables empty at the other end, so getting out was a pain,especially as the next 2 tables were occupied by very large ladies.

Probably put you all in one area to make it easier to serve you.

An ex of mine used to work in a place like this (height of council I know). They stick you all in one area so cleaning is easier at the end of the shift, as you might imagine, joe public are the scummiest dirty s in the world and the mess they make is incredible.

Fairy Nuff. Thats a reason I wasnt aware of, and given my toddler's love of making an ever expanding ring of food around her, a good one....although unlike many I DO actually try & clear the worst of the devastation up

I can't read 400 pages but has anyone yet mentioned peoples behaviour around baggage carousels.

I mean, the fact that people stand right next to it rather than standing back 3 or 4 feet from where :

a) they will get a better view of the bags coming and

b) they can step forward and retrieve their bags more easily

....and don't get me started on kids /wives joining in / getting in the way..

Today's pet peeve? Estate agents who can't update their rightmove listings to say that something has either sold or is under offer STC. Why have I wasted my time when it's fking sold?

The worst part is that they seem to think it's *my* fault for not psychically connecting to their paperwork to find out before I ring.

I have been looking for a property in a specific area so keep an eye on Rightmove to see what's occuring.
There's one local agent who has a few properties listed,one of which is a renovation job.
If you look on Google streetview you can see all the progress the builder has made, re render new roof, paved driveway new windows etc, none of which appear on the Rightmove listing.

That's life at the baggage carousel. Mayhem.

I’m sure I put it in many pages back.

They should have a set of trap doors inside the line that leads to a deep pit with spikes at the bottom.

Just before the bags start coming out - the trap doors should open and send these fking morons to their deaths.

I guarantee after a few weeks of this - the world would be a much better place.

You forgot the special class of moron that parks their trolley right up against the carousel.

I'm remarkably clumsy around baggage carousels, once I've lifted 20+ kilos of holdall off the belt it's surprisingly uncontrollable, hitting people in the shins and smacking small children on the back of the head.

Sounds like a good plan to me. Thinking about it, most of the things I've put on this thread relate to airports :-D

So it's not all bad, then.

Be interested to know if Crappita also run the vetting process for the Prison service / MOJ?

I had to turn a role down as it took 2 months for the vetting to come through and my son has waited longer than this for his prison office vetting to come through, how long do they expect people to wait????

i had to take another job as has my son although he can quickly move into the role once its all sorted but it is bordering on embarrassing for whomever is running this.

genuine piss boiling shambles

Sitting waiting for her indoors (on a rare adventure/treat outdoors) to get her nails done. If that wasn't bad enough there's a couple of lasses who've brought five kids with them, highlight is a boy named Dakota.
Little Dakota is learning to walk and play with chemicals while Mum and Grandma talk over the place to each other about Sandra deliberately spotting whilst on or maybe not on her period.

What happened to my life.

The c**ts who smashed the window on my sister's BF's car last night and attempted to steal it - fortunately a couple of their neighbours chased them off.

Builders.

I gave them:

A) accurate ‘to scale’ architects plans.
B) a 1:1 scale replica of the thing they need to build that they can take direct measurements off.
C) the thing that need to fit on top of their construction.

..........and it still comes out wrong.....and is apparently my fault.

When someone composes an interesting, informative, and well put together post about something that interests you, and you’re avidly reading it, then the poster spoils it by typing something like, “right of passage”, instead of rite of passage, or says he caught some “flack”, instead of flak.
Sure it’s simple to work out what they meant, but just when you were seeing the poster as a world champion at expressing his/her opinion in a precise manner, it’s mildly annoying.
And no, I’m not infallible, I’ve been known to rush, and put ect instead of etc, and touch the wrong key and put st instead of at.

Frank, the 'Pedantic' thread is to be found elsewhere on PH.

You should have sacked the builders on day one, put C on top of B and gone for a nice sit down.

I walk into a caff and there's one free table. I'm standing at the counter ordering my egg and chips and a couple walk in. The chap joins the queue and the woman goes and sits at the free table. I'm seething inside! Get off my fecking table you queue jumping bh!

This also annoys the hell out of me

The solution to this problem is to put some of your own items down on the table so that if anyone does try that trick you can point out that you are already sitting there. A newspaper or coat/bag will suffice, even a set of cutlery would do.

This is not a solution to the problem.

If you don't have a tray with food that is paid for and ready to eat I would argue that you cannot claim a table. Those that do call it 'strategic seating' I call it ******* with an added**

The word moron.

Used far too often on these threads to describe someone who merely has a different opinion.

Troll is used on PH as a similar insult.

Or similar to 'Airplane', when the passengers appear on the carousel to be 'claimed' by their baggage.
