Maximise profits by paying staff nothing or as little as they can get away with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it stinks a bit more when it's FIFA or something similar as they have volunteers working alongside highly paid staff and use expensive celebrities to endorse it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what kind of pissed me off to start with they brought in Martin Compston at presumably huge cost but want volunteers to manage the crowd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 The plane has just rolled up to the gate and we’ve all heard the wee ‘ding’ to confirm this. I’m in the aisle seat reading my book and the woman in the middle seat has just asked me, quite rudely, to get up and let her out. Why? There isn’t even room to stand and nobody’s going to move for a good 10 minutes. Where the f**k are you going to go? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 That’s me pretty much every time I get on a plane I tbh. In my head at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 What did she do?I let her out and sat back down again. Because there wasn’t really any room for her in the already crowded aisle, she kept trying to back into the space where I was sitting. Only to be met by my bony elbow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'd been stuck in the middle seat for a long flight I'd be in a foul mood too, especially next to some c**t with bony elbows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 No, for the most part I like to think of myself as a courteous passenger. Middle seat gets both arm rests and all that. Doesn’t mean I want someone’s arse in my face though. At least, not in public. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) Adverts on sports fields. Specifically the big ones painted at an angle which shows up ‘properly’ on TV. This weekend, Sky showed my Sea Eagles at the Rabbitohs in the NRL. The stadium had been used for a State of Origin game, so not only was the playing field liberally adorned with large ‘regular season’ painted adverts, but the remnants of the origin adverts were there too. Similarly, the cricket world cup final between England and the actual winners, New Zealand.... How shall I put this? Oh, got it... get them to fcuk* * the adverts that is, not the England cricket team, or the fcukwit umpires.... nah, they can get to fcuk too.
