That's customs. They stopped me once and serached through my bags. Was just on a flight from Amsterdam.....but it was only a connecting flight. As soon as they heard that I didn't leave the airport in Amsterdam they packed my bag back up for me.
Well, that's who it was then. I am still so angry tbh. They picked on my OH simply because she is Brazilian. We'd already gone through passport control and I know he just pounced on her because of her skin colour. He practically ran after her shouting, "sorry where are you from!?" and when she told him Brazil, he said, "Ok and have you anything in the bag you shouldn't? Where are you going?" - what a racist ásshole. He had no authority to do a Visa cheque on her as she'd already passed through immigration (and answerd their 20 questions). He ignored me of course, because I'm white. I'm f.ucking livid. I wanted to confront him but OH just wanted to leave

In my experience (lots of travel, lots of airport hassle!), it's better just to let them get thier gratification from the small bit of power they have. Then walk away knowing you are not the d*ck in the situation.0 -

When you cross your legs so that you can put on a pair of boots. Cross right leg over left so you can put right boot on. Pick up boot. It's the left one
Militant bítches at check in gates insisting that you have your hand luggage tagged and dumped in with cargo. No. F.uck. Off.
For anyone who encounters this problem in future, a simple smile and nod followed by an angelic "of course" works fine...followed by a swift, discrete removal of said tag when you are out of sight

My hair is super long, as far down as my belly button, probably longer when it's straightened. I'm going to have to get it cut soon as it's getting a bit thin.
I'm dreading it. I hate going to the
hairdressers. I just get so nervous. I don't know why. I'm the same with doctor's appointments. Also, I hate having to watch my hair be swept away.
I wanted to donate my hair but I don't think it's in good enough condition now and I have noticed a good few grey hairs (I'm only 27!) . I'll have to get my hair done for an event next month. I always feel so cold when my hair is cut as well
. At least I'll cut down on my shower time! 0 -

Guy on the plane yesterday in the row behind, with his entire progeny and harem spread across two rows. He actually put an arm on a chair on each side of the aisle to block people from going down the aisle until his group had cleared. Why would we have anyway? We were a row in front and exiting via the back door
And then, he said to the guy in the row behind him (and who, therefore should have been exiting before him anyway), "you go on ahead there mate" - The other guy was so thankful. I would have been like, "yeah right, I f.ucking will and I don't need your permission either becauseI am going anyway". What a big ársey f.ucking neanderthal. There is something about people on planes..... They're like bus w.ankers on speed or something. Is it the cabin pressure that reduces the collective IQ? Then there's the constant stream of people up and down to use the toilet. It's a two hour flight Can you not go two hours without a wee? Are you three? Jumping up as soon as the plane lands, while it is still moving. Why? You're just going to be standing there like f.ucktards until we've come to a complete stop.
Oh God...I need a holiday to recover from my holiday...0 -

And on the hotel front....
"We need a deposit for your room which we will refund on checkout" - um....nope. This is a five star hotel...do they treat all their guests like that? More or less implying that we will run up mini bar tab or burn the bed linen before we leave. So, I gave him a maxed out card on purpose. His poor little face fell when it was declined.
"This card has been declined"
"Oh. Well that's your problem"
"You don't have sufficient funds to pay a deposit"
"Well maybe if you'd told me about this when I booked I could have ensured I had sufficient funds"
"This is standard practive in some hotels"
"Oh and is it standard practice to not tell your guests about it until they arrive?"
"Well I see you booked through an agency...maybe they didn't do their job properly"
"Well they managed to debit the funds from my account straight away"
"Well, we need a deposit"
"Well I can't give you one"

Hands over keys
... Runs upstairs to raid minibar and burn the bed linen :P0 -

Absolutely. It's like the worst bits of bus travel multiplied and you can't get away from them.
Another of my personal favourites is the announcement asking people not to block the aisles and get into the seat, as quickly as possible.
There is always at least one, usually more, who puts their case in the locker, then carefully removes their jacket and tenderly places it with the case, as though they are in some kind of parallel universe, and are oblivious to the fact that they are blocking the bloody aisle, and there are actually other people who are trying to board the plane too.0 -

The last time I was going through airport security, two guys were ahead of me, one guy saw that the other had done all the required stuff, taken off jacket and so on, all the stuff common sense would tell you, you have to do, even if there weren't announcements about it.
The second guy still had to be told to take off his jacket etc etc.
Another guy was completely amazed at the liquid restrictions...eh, what, plastic bag, oh...
Jeez, I'm getting wound up, typing this. 0 -

Worse is when there is a big queue to get thru the security check and someone comes thru saying they are late for their flight - would it be ok to jump the queue?
Sure- if you are late - no problem.
Then they proceed to have argument with the security folks about jackets/shoes/liquids/earings/watches/weather delaying everybody even more. 0 -

TA, expensive things being made from crappy materials. So, this morning I opened the fridge to take the milk out of the fridge we only bought last Summer, the damn shelf fell out, hit my foot, bounced and the side smashed, so now I'm gonna have to replace it. Last week I noticed that the molded wall bracket of the really expensive shower we bought about 4 months ago is cracked and will have to be replaced. What the fcuk is it with companies using substandard parts.:mad: I get that it saves them a small amount in costs but ultimately it costs them my business, since I will never buy any other product from them ever again. 0

Pumpkinseeds, I began reading that as being the milk that you only bought last Summer! Imagine! Rancid central!0 -

This. I've had about enough of being made a fcukan eejit off by smartarse accountants and Morkeshing types, endlessly dreaming up ways of taking astronomical amounts of my hard-earned for a load of monkey-metal shíte. :mad:0 -

I don't believe her. I swear everyone spends their time watching everyone else. Every time you raise your eyes up from the plate there are people watching. When you go to fill your plate, people are judging you for how much you eat. And as for those sanctimonious bástards with their fruit and hot water. Come off it! Free bacon and eggs and little things made from potato!!!!! :P
The worst thing is staying at one of these half-decent "Business" chain hotels that has its own gym, and you're with some wanker colleague who's obsessed about his arse or his elbow or the toxins in his spleen or some bastarding thing. You're just tucking into a Full Irish with extra steak and he'll come out with something like "Oh, you'll have to do an hour in the gym later with me to de-toxify after that lot!!" "Oh yeah. I de-toxified your fcukan sister the other night, the durty yoke. And just for that I'm having another plate of bacon. Fcuk you!!" 0 -

Reminded me of a few years ago, myself and a friend got one those free month membership trial things for a local gym, we went along just to use the pool/sauna, but we had to have a gym "induction" by a skinny twelve year old, which went "This is a bike, you cycle it" and "This a weight, you push it up and down" and so on, took all of ten mins. On our way to the pool area, via the dressing room, there are about twelve hairy men in various states of undress and a guy I kind of know says ( for all to hear) "Jaysus, you did'nt last long" my equally loud retort was "Fcuksake, does your wife tell you everything"
He has not spoken to me since:(0 -

Women do something like that with things like tools. "What are they? Why are there three of them, aren't they all the same?? Sure you only need one wrench, they take up a lot of space!!"
"Woman, one is a ratchet-handle, one is a ratchet-spanner and the third is a torque-wrench. They are all important members of the Hierarchy of Tools. Remember when you attacked the top of that nice metal lantern thing you like so much, with a Vise-Grip? And made a complete billocks of it, and it had to be replaced?"
"Yes??"
"You have no idea how much that kind of thing annoys me!" 0 -
