What cheeses me off

Nasty sore throat ruining your day?

Not to worry, strepsils to the rescue.

Model goes from clutching throat to - post strepsil - out laughing with family, friends and colleagues, and carrying on life as normal.

Wonderful? Amazing stuff.

No.

No no no, and no!!

If you are that sick… stay at home! Or wear a mask.

Just cause you got your strepsil doesn’t mean we all want to spend the next week sick!

😒
 
It is possible to withdraw unstaked funds but it is complicated and can take weeks.

Funds are not unstaked. The dopes want me to send them my debit card front and back with my signature.

I am assured that Unibet is secure like Optus, Telstra, Medibank, Latitude, +
Qantas etc.

Weird! With the TAB I just withdraw to BSB & Account - takes up to 60 to show up.

I know I am in Europe (when in Rome (ie currently Florence) and all that) but God I hate smoking vaping and lack of segregation in outdoor areas like pools and al fresco restaurants.
Cigars even
Disgusting lack of respect
I know what I will be putting in my feedback questionnaire (again)
Do like friend of mine who hates smokers, carry a small water pistol in your bag and squirt them. Although I had to talk her out of loading it up with lighter fluid.
 
WCMO : Hotel breakfast etiquette - or lack of should I say🤦‍♀️
Folk who get up, push their chairs back and leave them like that whilst they peruse the buffet
LOUD conversations
And today, trackie pants, UGG boots and slippers were the uniform of many.
Rant over

The chairs thing is very common, not just for surveying the buffet, but when they leave. Worse are the ones sitting behind you that push the chair out with full force... whack!

Surprised you didn't see a few pyjamas around the place, but maybe hotels do insist on some sorts of standards in the public areas of the property.

WCMO etiquette around hotel breakfast:
  • Tea/coffee station where you take a spoon or stirrer to finish off your tea/coffee... the used spoons or stirrers are discarded haphazardly all over the station, rather than in the designated bowl/container or bin.
  • A plate is left in front of a serving tray of hot food (e.g. scrambled eggs) for resting the serving spoon or tongs. Instead, some oaf leaves it in the serving tray / bowl. Not only churlish, but no one likes picking up a blazing hot serving spoon/ladle.
  • People who use the same serving utensil for more than one dish, when there are clearly separate serving utensils for each. Usually done by lazy or impatient gits.
  • People who don't pick up their toasted bakery items from the rotating toaster. I'm not talking about coming back from other parts of the buffet, I mean they don't pick them up.
  • People who change the setting on the rotating toaster.
 
  • Tea/coffee station where you take a spoon or stirrer to finish off your tea/coffee... the used spoons or stirrers are discarded haphazardly all over the station, rather than in the designated bowl/container or bin.
Should have mentioned: an extra minus 10 points to those idiots who throw used spoons or stirrers back into the containers or holders that have the clean ones.
