Waiters serving people with one hand behind their back.  Why?

Fear of giving away a penalty.

I have never flown anything other than standard class in my life. 

Then again I only do Easyjet, Ryanair and stuff. It gets you from A to B. At least it has so far. 

To be fair, Ryanair usually get you from A to C then bus you to B.

And no extra charge for carrying a reasonably sized cabin bag. The cost after addons is often about the same.

Tbf, I flew out with EasyJet very recently and it only cost me £20 extra to add on a large cabin bag (on top of the small one; collectively a check-in bags worth), with which comes extra leg space (a nice way of saying "you're paying extra to be responsible for the emergency exit row"), but still significantly cheaper than the alternative options with the non-budget airlines.

£20 very well spent too, at least when it involves anything over 2hrs in duration.

 

Eta: this was all because of the seed you planted in my head about Seville btw, cheers .  Ended up flying EasyJet from Edinburgh to Gibraltar (three nights in La Linea), and have gradually worked my way north via Cadiz (couple of nights there) and am on night 3 of 4 in Seville.  Barely a cloud in the sky the entire trip, except from one morning in Gibraltar, which comes with it being British territory I guess.

I used to like EasyJet but the cnuts cancelled my flight in May so they can feck off

So they can make a w@nker gesture at you without you knowing

The word "holibobs"

It wouldn't be unreasonable to give anyone caught saying it out loud the bamboo torture treatment.

See also "crimbo", usually heard emanating from the same women who go on about their "hubby".

I have to admit that I use 'wifey' quite often*, but find 'hubby' annoying.  This situation shall undoubtedly disgruntle others.  That said, I use wifey as a general term for any woman, not specifically one's wife. 

*I've been NE-ified

They hide the hand they use to catch sneezes, seminal fluid, bogies; the same hand they use to wipe down the plates before bringing them out.

And how do your neighbors and your actual wifey feel about this use?

Families/friends walking 4 abreast through a busy railway station isn't going to cause folk to get fucking annoyed with you.

Nowhere near as annoying as when the oblivious fuckers decide to stop dead.

See old wifeys at the entrance to any shop. All seem to think it's the ideal place to stand and chat shite.

In case anyone's feeling disgusted by that, don't panic - they've likely already sneezed or spunked directly on to your food anyway, so it doesn't matter.

Not restricted to old wifeys. The general population's complete lack of physical awareness is alarming.

They need to teach these things in school. Looking Around Before Moving Studies, Walking in Single File on Pavements Theory, Advanced Not Rushing Out of Shop Doorways 101, The Pair of You Are Massively Obese and, Between You and Your Trollies, You've Cordoned Off The Entire Aisle in the Supermarket While You Discuss That Bitch Karen on the PTA...erm...Tutorial.

Adults should have to go back to school and pass the exams before they're allowed out in public.

You'd think walking face-first into a lamppost would be all the lesson people would need, but apparently not.
