New - The things that really annoy you

[sycophantia]

more confused by a greggs down the road from me that was closed unexpectedly for about a week. apparently a cockroach infestation. queues out the door when it reopened unnannounced.

It'll be the cleanest Gregg's in the country, for a while anyway.

Not to shatter the mirror on eating out or anything, but there are three kinds of food service establishment in the world.

1% have no roaches
5% have roaches and get caught
94% have roaches and nobody ever finds out

Maybe in your country....

Touché!

From experience, they're a complete nightmare. Think we had exterminators come through my first Starbucks four or five times for the little German bastard ones; never, ever, ever could we get rid of them completely. And we were a relatively clean Bux!

I spent a short time in pest control, it's best not to look too closely at your favourite eating places.

well, after reopening for 2 days with ridiculous queues, it has suddenly closed again without warning! Unforeseen issues apparently...

Another team "huddle" brings another crock of shit. Performance boards and KPI's that were rolled out in 2012 and then ditched in 2019 are being bought back...

Everything may well be cyclical but it's also total bollocks.

I do so love being a civil servant.

Hotel rooms that are just too hot.

It's hardly cold today (it was 14 when I left at 5am)...room set at 24. Fuck that off

Funny that, I’m the opposite and love them really warm. Dunno why, maybe it’s just the sense of a bit of luxury in the way stepping into a cold one would feel a bit grim.

Love a bit of warmth and decent quality hotel slipper too. A man of simple pleasures.

 

[Kenny]

Room would have been fine at 20 to be honest but 24 and blowing hot air about. Not having that.

 

[BillyDee]

It's when it's set too hot, you change it to something reasonable, but they keep changing it back.
Think of the penguins!

I would want about three jackets on and a steaming mug of tea. 24? brrrr

It's a hotel room, not a trip to the beach...its too hot.

Whacked the air con...a lovely 18 right now and cold air. Love it.

You shouldn't have your bedroom too warm either as it can disrupt your sleep. The body naturally drops a couple of degrees when asleep so too warm means you keep waking up.

That is what aircon is for

Opened a tub of Cadburys Heroes and there is one Wispa in there. Fucking ONE!

I've had at least 4 in the last 48 hours from my tub.

Hope that helps...

I've had to open a bottle of Peroni to get over the shock of it all.
