    My aunt's basically taken over organising it now and we're doing it next weekend instead. Glad it's not my problem now.

    Gonna take my parents out myself tomorrow.

    Yeah, I suggested it (and then we all go out the following weekend) myself to melt cousin before but she was away next weekend. My aunt seemed okay with it, said she'll take the melt 9 year old with her if her ma's away.

    The set menu was £40 for 3 courses with no 2 course option which seemed to piss a load of people off. I didn't think it was that bad.

    Those two/three course options are a load of cock anyway. Sitting eating your garlic mushrooms while a load of miserable cunts watch you waiting on their main. If one asks you what they’re like (ie: let me taste) then it’s time to flip the table over and walk out.

    Please cancel your attendance for next weekend the evening before. Get your parents to do so as well for bonus points.

    This is a very good point. Our Christmas do was a choice of two or three, and people are getting starters or puddings, and the place nearly had a meltdown over it.

    "We could share a starter / dessert" is the worst sentence in the English Language. The Germans probably have a witty name for it. Cuntensprakën.

    Sharing food in restaurants is just an appalling idea all around. I hate it to the core of my very soul.

    The wife (not used to that yet) and I quite often get two starters with the intention of sharing them both.

    People asking for sharing once food has arrived that wasn't pre-agreed can launch themselves off a bridge .

    £40 for 3 courses is absolutely fine. We’ve become accustomed to paying peanuts for food for too long. I’ve worked in a restaurant so my view might be biased but if you’re getting great food, don’t be surprised that you should pay for it.

    The whole eating out / possibly the whole hospitality industry is predicated on paying the staff (waiters, chefs, washers up) absolutely fuck all, so it does grind my gears when people moan about the prices of things.

    People are cheapskates, always have been always will be. I personally am happy to pay top dollar for quality food but most people aren't. I remember going to Miller and Carter after lockdown and some chav lad was complaining about paying £25 for a rib eye steak with all the sides and sauce - I thought that was cheap!

    I've noticed places either making things slightly too expensive or cutting corners since the virus ended last year, so hospitality has clearly been operating on the margins for a while. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot more of it died this year.

    You give a business owner less staff to pay and the hungry cunts will try and do more and more with less. Most restaurants are a shambles now, haven’t had to leave a tip in a good while.

    They live in Barrow everything is local by default. I'd rather use a company with no recommendation from mutual friends so if there is an issue there's no awkwardness. Would never go for mate's rates tradesmen again.

    Still needing to book a slot at the tip even though COVID doesn't exist anymore. I live right on the edge of the council area and it's a million times easier to go to the much bigger and better tip in the adjacent town but I can't do that now.

    The lack of sockets in hotel rooms.

    I'm in a large double room in a "business & spa hotel" in Poland and in the room there appears to only be 3 sockets total. 2 are by the TV (the TV is plugged in and there is a lamp, kettle and mini fridge all unplugged beside the socket) and the other is in the far corner of the room by the window.

    Not a single socket beside the bed.

    It's especially painful when driving on the German autobahns.

    You go from creaming it at 120mph to having to slow down quickly to 60 because some cunt has decided to pull out.

    ParkingEye. They tried to fine my wife for parking at the hospital she works. She goes to hospital security who cancel the fine and now three months later she’s just had a debt collector letter demanding £140.

    She’s even been on the ParkingEye website to check the original fine and it even says cancelled on there.

    I might have told this story before but 600 years ago when I still lived in Coventry there was an old fella who used to do this and go round the big roundabouts and whatever, but added to this on each side of his scooter he had a placard prophesising the apocalypse and on a sort of pole/antenna thing at the back he had mounted a mask of Frankenstei's monster on one side and a cartoon Satan mask on the other.

    Some chancing fuckers tried to fine me the other day for parking in their shitty overpriced car park and paying for it. Unreal.

    I paid on an app in town once and came back to a ticket. Luckily the bloke was still in the car park so I asked him what he was playing at. Apparently their app wasn't working properly so he was told to ticket anyone without a physical ticket to be safe.

    No mate. You stop issuing tickets until you can confirm someone hasn't paid. Shower of cunts these companies.

    My brother got a parking fine from some privately-run car park, and he just refused to pay it and told them to sue him, which they obviously aren't going to do for sixty quid or whatever it was since they have no other means of enforcing it. Try that.

    Alot of them do enforce it. You'd be amazed how many £100 parking fines end up with Bailiffs at the door for 10 times the amount.

    Some Vrbo host for a boat I stayed on in March has gone through HM Courts & Tribunals Service to claim £400 off me. Half of if is bollocks and he's a posho rat so I think I'll just ignore it. I'm not sure they have jurisdiction but it'll be annoying if I get arrested on the way to Glastonbury.

    I got fined for having my feet on the seats on a Merseyrail train once, shortly after the transport police literally read me my rights. I hasten to add it was the standard rows of 2 seats facing the same direction, and my feet were just on the back of the ones in front of me, rather than having my feet where people actually sit. Deffo deserved it though as the old ticket inspector had warned me already, and I thought I'd found a genius loophole by putting them on a metal bit between them rather than on the fabric. I genuinely wasn't doing it to deliberately disrespect the old fella, but if anything that makes it worse as it was just pure stupidity. I was 19 though, so when you consider how stupid I am now as a 30 year old, it's not exactly surprising.
