Re: I've had enough of........ new

Posted by: atila the gooner Today, 04:25PM



I've had enough of complaining about things or issues when I know full well that my complaining makes not a jot of difference, nor will it change things. What a rubbish way to approach the weekend.

==============================================================================


atila - for once we might be in agreement ;-)

I've got one.


You're at the bar for 5+ minutes, someone comes up next to you, and get served straight away, and doesn't point out that you were first.


I hate that so much, I always say if someone was there before me! I hate it even more when you've got some young dumb and full of cum bloke behind the bar who will just ignore you blatantly and serve all the women who come to the bar! Grrrr!!!


Another thing that annoys me is that I usually just stand there and keep waiting without saying anything. Once it p!ssed me off so much I kicked off about it, got served first, and almost had a punch up... It felt great!

I'm with you Keef. Bar etiquette was something about this country that made me so proud, and it's vanishing.

I understood if I was forced to meet a mate down an all bar one full of t0ssp0t lawyers waving ?50 notes in a bid to queue jump, down holborn or something, but these days it's spread out from there, even as far as the territories (herts, beds etc)

Completely agree with you, but I kick off if someone even steps in front of me in a bus queue too, standing at the bus stop and some tw@t comes and stands right in front of you like you're invisible! and doesn't even glance at the huge queue thats been waiting for the bus for the past 10 mins, it usually commences with "there is a queue you know, we're not all waiting here for the good of our health!" If they refuse to move, which is usually really rare in my circumstances, I just barge infront of them and make sure that I am in front of them, sod everyone else in the queue (usually huge rugby sized geezers) for not backing me or standing up to said tw@t!

Keef has submitted 3 things and all of them are top of my list


I would agree with LizzyGotDIzzy re: bus queues also except for the fact that in London most bus stops serve multiple routes - so there is never a single queue - just a bunch of people hoping theirs comes first. I used to try and queue but realised most of the people in front of me just back onto my toe when they realised it wasn't their bus


It's bad enough by Plough DiY but to b waiting at the southbound bus stop near the House of Fraser at Monument is MADNESS - and it's no fault of manners - just bad planning

1. England fans blaming the manager each time their team fails to get a decent result.


2. Local shops that just sell useless trinket things for filling homes with. Like comedy bread bins and coffee bean grinders


3. Indian call centres where whatever you ask them they still read from a script and fail to understand your problem.F***rs.


4. Little tw@ts in hoodies playing music on their mobiles on the bus. Get some f****ng headphones you twats.


5. Trendy acronyms : DKH, EDT, CPT, FHT etc. Boll0cks to them all.


6. Feeling like Clint Eastwood when I enter the CPT at the wrong time and the piano player stops playing/everyone stops talking. Drunk elderly black woman gives evil stare.


7. People talking about how lovely East Dulwich is. The park is lovely. The oysters are lovely. Use any other word but that.


8. Estate agents lying to me then pretending they havent I will meet you at heavens gate and watch you burn in the bowels of hell you parasites. That is if I havent tracked you down and gunned you down first.


9. Nigerian mini cab drivers adding ?2 onto the price quoted when I phoned then acting all suprised when I tell them.


10. Walworth road. On the bus. Depressing. I shut my eyes at Camberwell Green and only open them after Elephant and Castle.

People who put their feet on train seats..... seriously what's wrong with you?


The guy who gets on at East Dulwich train station with THE (sorry caps haters) loudest personal stereo, so loud I can stand 20 feet from him on the platform and still hear it. Is it a PA system or a personal stereo? Have some respect!


The day the last series of ER finished.


The gits who sit on my doorstep waiting for a bus, refuse to get off my doorstep then threaten me, then leave a pool of spit, they're half eaten burgers and a couple of fag ends just for good measure.


Bad spelling!


Oh and no-alcohol January! Why am I doing this to myself?

Women who wear high heels and can't walk in them. People who get to the front of the queue and THEN get their purses out, ditto with travelcards and Oyster cards. Tourists who stop in silly places to look at maps. People meandering down the middle of the pavement texting.
Good call on the bus queues - it always piques me when someone blatently, rather than simply ignorantly, pushes in front of others at the stop. However - if you want to renew your faith in human goodness and order, then go to Waterloo and look at the queues at the bus stops by the Imax roundabout: a heaving London station and everybody queues! Wow

    • So. Last night Royal Mail customer service kept me waiting a quarter of an hour with no indication of the wait time,  then closed the service down at 6.30pm. This morning I waited half an hour to speak to someone.   First they told me to make a claim via their website, then reluctantly agreed they could do it on the phone. They required both my and my daughter's name, addresses, postcodes and email addresses, plus my phone number. WHY? THEN they told me a CHEQUE for £9.85 would be sent to my address!!!!!! No compensation for everybody's wasted time, just the Special Delivery (hollow laugh) fee back. I did point out a) we weren't in the Stone Age and b) this cheque would probably either never arrive or be stuck for months in the local delivery office beneath mounds of other mail which never gets delivered. I felt very sorry for this guy. I hope he is well paid. What a terrible job to have. So now, assuming I ever get the cheque, I will have to queue up at the Post Office to pay it in. Having already queued up to post an item for a non existent service in the first place. GRRRRR. Can I be bothered to write to the CEO? No, probably not. I'll just get some bland standard letter back sent by some other poor person with a terrible job.
    • Thank you for the warning. There have been instances of vulnerable people targeted by scammers in this area, so we do need to be mindful of our neighbours.
    • Lots of very good places around Rye Lane. I'd say there are the long-standing great places like Levan, Mr Bao, Oi Spaghetti, Peckham Bazaar and (towards Bellenden Rd) Begging Bowl, Made of Dough, and Artusi.  And then the newer places that we've been enjoying include Janda Diner, Taquiza, Hausu, En Root, Messy Mary (currently at Copeland Social). We are spoilt for choice really! Depends what you're looking for - some of the above are cheap and cheerful, others much more fancy
    • Yep dangerous and worrying and plenty on here seem to either not grasp that or are perfectly ok with it - which is more worrying you think cancerian or any other reform voter will be any happier if reform win? Sure, just like Brexit they will laugh at the lib-tears but as reality hits, nothing but more anger and complaints   And as we see with Brexit and Trump, finding out too late doesn't solve anything
