Default response from the parents was either to smile like dippit words removed or shove a smartphone/tablet into the little monsters fat hands to subdue them.

Chicken Korma, Lasagne, Soup - Just some of the things people have ended up wiping off themselves or their kids due to their little brats running around and running straight into the waiting staff's legs over the years. Only once in my memory were they particularly bolshy about it. (there's always one!) And yes, it was a pleasure politely informing them I wouldn't be doing their dry-cleaning... I don't ever recall any of them asking if the waitresses were ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate the protection kids and their parents get in these situations. If I started running round a pub or restaurant shouting and ruining everyone's meal I'd get rightly thrown out. But kids don't know any better so everyone just lets them get on with it and lets their parents get way with it even though the little words removed are ruining everyone else's day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 31, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 31, 2019 People on planes who when they stand up use the seat in front to pull themselves up, unaware that the person in front can feel that! Just stand up like a normal person. You don't need a rope lift to get off your sofa do you? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only do it if the person in front is a seat-back rocket polisher, then it's fair game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often wonder if there is some unknown prize I don't know about for the first person to stand up and open the overhead compartment once the plane has landed and the seat belt lights gone off ... they haven't even opened the doors yet , and even when they do there are 24 rows of people in front of you , you aint going anywhere so sit down and chill for a few more minutes Edited April 1, 2019 by tonyh29 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also take great pleasure in, once people have started to actually get off and aisle is clear, standing up and stepping into the aisle, barging in front of the people who have been stood up for ages and taking my sweet time getting my bag down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post chrisp65 Posted April 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2019 Watching a programme about child brides in America, girls of 15 marrying men in their 20's. They've interviewed a girl in a roadside diner in the Rockies. I'm really angry, the sign on the door that said Open was illuminated red. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We flew on a 747-400 which was bloody massive and sat near the back. It meant that whilst I was in no mad rush to get off we were already about 600th in line to go through security (and that’s before any other flights arriving at the same time). It Took ages (Gatwick). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
