Must be a London thing I guess - high furniture is a regular feature in London micropubs.

Currently out of the country and only online intermittently. Will update the index to include these annoyances from the other side of the counter when I can.

Do you want a #900a " People who complain about excess gravy when obviously there's no such thing"?

PUB ANNOYANCES INDEX

#1 No mild available. (Post #12)
#1a No real ale. (#36)
#1b John Smith’s (or some other totally unsuitable alternative) offered as a substitute for mild. (#92&417)
#1c...

Not me - but there again I can't remember ever ordering a pint and a half in said chain. Did your boyfriend pull them up on it; if so what was the response? Or did you just have to force yourself to...

Bumped.

Interesting to get the perspective from the other side of the counter. But I do get the feeling that they have forgotten that it is the customer who is paying their wages and (for example) might be...

#910. Weak Tea! This one's by proxy as I've never personally experienced this particular annoyance. Mrs R and a couple of friends order tea; a big pot of tea is produced; comes out as weak as...

Essentially already covered up at #1b, but index now amended to embrace any unsuitable alternative.

Excess Gravy! Have you ever been in a pub where what would otherwise be nice crispy chips are drowned in gravy turning them into a soggy mess? And worse still is the gravy thrown all over the flaky...

Bumped

In at #805. And by "ask" you surely mean "can I get", thus also committing a #655.

Fits nicely at #100 I think.

Thanks very much for both of the compliments - but I still look up to Old Boots in the GOG stakes!

#880 - Grated cheese in sandwiches. For some reason a lot of pubs use grated cheese in their cheese sandwiches, thus forcing you to try and keep the sandwich horizental as you eat it, because if you...

Bumped.

Oh yes. It's right at the top at 1a.

All annoyances now included on the index.

Re #665 - does anyone remember Widescreen, from Another Place, who only ever commented on TV picture quality, with aspect ratios being his major concern?

Now added to the list as #661, along with those also identified by Quinno and Nick.

The thread about the “10 most annoying things” has got me thinking about the “Pub Annoyances” thread, and it looks as if we might be in danger of repeating the whole sorry story of the things about...

That goes way beyond being just an annoyance!

Scotland will win the World Cup before I cough up three quid for wasabi peas. And what are wasabi peas? sound a bit Japanese to me.

I just can't let an opportunity pass to add my voice to those who detest those chunky solid high tables and chairs. Goodness knows why anyone furnishing a pub thinks that they are a more comfortable...

I'm with you there, but I think this a whole society issue rather than specifically a pub issue. I read something today about something called a "nonversation". This seems to be when one party is...

OK, time to redress the balance a bit and for someone to have something good to say about Americans. I really believe that the sort of stereotypical loud and brash Americans mentioned in this thread...
