New - The things that really annoy you

[lemonjelly]

Shitty pub in Bermondsey tonight. Pint of Pravha £7.50.

Barman waves the scanner thing at you and you tap and wander off to find a seat.

Sit down and get a notification on your phone of £8.62 spent.

Jesus Christ, 15% tip added.

Ok I’ll take the rap of full responsibility for not checking what I was tapping for but that’s fucking outrageous. It’s tantamount to a scam. The guy deliberately offered the machine up in a way that hid the screen and amount too.

Getting really pissed off with the ugly side of this tipping mullarkey.

We went on a works so last Xmas in brum centre & I had the same shock, only the morning after. Charge added to drinks and meals.
Not clearly displayed imo. The notice was on the back of the food menu (& all dishes were listed on the front). Didn't see it displayed for drinks at all.

That’s why you pay cash for drinks so they have to tell you the cost while you should be standing in range of the price list. And if they charge a tip you tell them to put the beer back and walk out.

I Agee, however...
Isn't the UK in general pretty much cashless nowadays?
I stopped at the holiday inn at the racecourse last year, after hours of flights and car rides, i made it to the hotel and the 1st thing I wanted was a cup of tea
Tried to pay cash, but they stated they were cashless and had to pay with the card..

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

A lot of places are but most pubs will still take cash.

The Lych Gate managed to charge me £143.80 for a pint last season. It was an honest mistake but they only refunded me £140. They deducted the price of the pint!

And chucked it in a carling glass for you too

Unpopular opinion but bloody cats, evil little pests, leave there shit everywhere over the garden then fuck off to do whatever they do all day.

No man this is a popular take.
Our neighbours behind us have a cat who thinks he rules the neighbourhood, walks across the garden fences at night dropping into each garden and shitting.
I messaged the owner and she seems quite nonchalant - "oh hes just looking for a friend"

I'm tempted to boot him back over the fence in future.

You know the saying "cats are dicks"? It's because cats are dicks.

Cats are great if your lazy / don't have much time but still want a pet.

Didnt mean to offend, Convince me they have a purpose?

Why I'm on one, fucking pampered dogs, with their spa's, little jackets, carried around or in a fucking pushchair wtf?
Let them be what they were meant to be!

 

[Sniffer]

Any of you cat lovers are welcome to come and clear the cat shite from my front garden. I have the pleasure of trying to plant and weed in amongst what they leave on there.

 

[ROVERT47]

Neighbours cats often shit in my garden bastards, I try and get them with my catapult, ain’t hit one yet, although I once got a rat that was hanging round the bird feeder, got him right in the guts, he jumped in the air just like the cartoons, still brings me a chuckle now.

Tongue totally in cheek. I love my lil cat kids but have definitely had experiences with cats who would have made me sworn off them for life (if an ill-advised romance hadn’t happened, anyway).

When I took my first vacation away from Maūi, I thought for sure he’d be grumpy with me when I came back. Instead, he jumped all over me and kneaded me for about an hour. He is not generally an affectionate guy (sensitive skin plays some part, I think).

The connection is definitely as real as any I had with my childhood dog Scout.

So are fish and they leave their crap in the owners living room for them to clean up?

Fishes don’t get you laid?

Aarhh fair enough cats have a purpose

You can't stroke a fish, well I guess you could but it wouldn't be very nice.

Fish are way more of a ballache with filters, water quality and all that nonsense.

I know what you're getting at though. My cat shits in the litter box and is fairly timid because she's a rescue. So she doesn't venture too far at all, never even seen her leave the garden.

My cat shits in the next door neighbour's garden.

It's karma for her dog barking for hours on end.

Is the dog barking at your cat?
