Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

Just sat on hold to HMRC for half an hour, to be told that it had come through to the wrong department ("not sure what's happened") and they couldn't transfer me so I had to hang up and start again 🤬

Sitting in a pub and having lovely cold pints brought to you without moving an inch is tremendous. No waiting at the bar for the p***k in front of you to order 8 cocktails, no groups of wee fannies all paying for a WKD separately, just beautiful hops brought straight to your table with no hassle. A strange thing to be against, IMHO.

I use the app to order from the table I am sitting at any time I am in Weatherspoons. Saves so much time and hassle.

The barcode apps are good if the service is quick, which is usually is in Wetherspoons. I hate the places who offer table service but then let you sit for 10 or 15 minutes before coming over to take an order.

On two separate occasions we've been in the Malmaison Dundee bar (not our choice) with a group of friends and it took them half an hour to bring our drinks over.

Can adults go to Nandos? I thought it was for teenagers 

Its fine if you are wearing white trainers and grey cotton shorts.

And look a bit cheeky.

And chew with your gob wide open like a chimpanzee.

I can't go in then. No way I'll pass as cheeky. Shame because my table manners are terrible.

Another good thing about the Weatherspoons app is you can buy your mate a drink if you find out the Spoons they are in and the table number. Done this a few times to get them a drink for their birthday.

Did you know JD Wetherspoon doesn’t exist, but Tim Martin just made up the name.

JD comes from JD Boss Hogg in Dukes of Hazzard and Wetherspoon is the surname of a teacher he hated who was tee total.

Apparently the teacher said he’d never do anything with his life.

Needless to say, TM had the last laugh 🤭 🍺

Phoned the doctor one hour ago, and was number 11 in the queue.

Now I am number 4. 

Life just ebbing away while I wait. 

Sounds like you need an ambulance, m9.

Not sure what the queue's like for them just now.

Not even phoning for myself, but my kid. 

I've been number 4 in the queue for about half an hour now. Either they're on a tea break or some coffin dodger is tying up the line with a long list of ailments and complaints.
