Pub annoyances #835 onwards
People saving seats for non-existant friends who never seem intent on turning up
Your own friends arriving and deciding that you should move to another table over the other side of the pub just as you are happily settled where you weere in the first place
tables marked 'reserved' but not taken up, or reserved early for people not due for hours later
Glass collectors who think if the glass is half full it’s completely empty and try to take it away (succeeding if you blink)
People crowding round the bar though with no desire for service, obstructing those who want to actually buy stuff
People who mew that the music in a pub is too loud even when the strains of John Denver’s Leaving On A Jet Plane are barely audible at all
People who seem more concerned about a pub’s loos than the quality of the beer and service.
Bar staff who serve food then pop over every two minutes to ask condescendingly if you are happy with it, as if hoping and checking you haven’t noticed the mistake chef made with it yet
Pubs where they bring food then expect you to go and ferret out your own cutlery from a table hidden under a stairwell at the other end of the pub
Pub food that comes with little sasches of sauce, salt, pepper etc, rather than in decent bottles or jars
Someone who won’t go to a pub you hope to visit because they once served him a crap pint there about thirty years before
Pubs where some annoying, drunken and even blatantly obviously out of control threatening buffoon is ignored by the bar staff despite numerous complaints by the customers
Pubs claiming to be running a beer festival, which means one more cask ale than usual for a few weeks (which has usually run out when you arrive) and usually a list of beers their other branches ‘might’ be selling if you are willing to travel 60 miles plus to take a chance on finding out.
Pubs offering money off vouchers for your next pint which are just designed to confuse the bar staff who haven’t seen one before and have no idea to make note of the reduced transaction in the till.
