MargieH 7,594 Posted July 21, 2022 Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 @radfordred yes I agree. How can meat melt in your mouth! A lot of those cooking programmes amuse me anyway when they serve those teeny little portions of carefully arranged food accompanied with a carefully drizzled sauce/ gravy? Seems a bit pretentious to me but I’m sure others will disagree (and that’s OK ) 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,380 Posted July 21, 2022 Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 Entirely agree, and by the time they've done messing about with it. I would imagine it's only lukewarm at the table. It always grates on me when they say jus, it's gravy you.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

woody 549 Posted July 21, 2022 Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 Been told I am the same, but given the number of years I have been in training it is good to have qualified. Apart from that , where would this website be without us grumpies? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,269 Posted July 21, 2022 Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 Went into Boots for my prescription last week. There was a woman in front of me who clearly wanted something they didn't have. She kept explaining why she needed it NOW! Every sentence was punctuated by that guaranteed to get up my nose phrase: Know wot I mean? Ten minutes while the on duty pharmacist goes to check the storeroom for required item, during which time this irritating female tells the same story to anyone within earshot, punctuated at nauseatingly regular intervals by: Know wot (glottal stop) I mean? By this time, there is a massive queue behind me. The chap behind me was walking with the aid of callipers. I was sorely tempted to grab one and wrap it round her neck. Sometimes, my patience just runs out. Know wot I mean? 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Relax Ben, just go with the flow and enjoy the right to grumble in queues, shout at the telly whilst telling everyone with earshot how it was different back in the day, and you pay your taxes,and know your rights etc. People will either indulge you or ignore you, some may simply smile and say “ah bless”... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

trogg 2,002 Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 Ben at last I have found something I am better at than you. I will meet you for a coffee and give you instructions and advice on how to be grumpy. First lesson remember you are at the age where it is compulsory to be grumpy, you have no choice, you will be grumpy, you have been there and done that and have the T shirt so you know better than them. What you have to bear in mind is that you must be happy whilst being grumpy with others , you must not under any circumstances let them know that you are happy and enjoy being grumpy, it makes life even more enjoyable. We may not be able to do what we used to do , but with a little effort we can become highly qualified "Grumpiers" , not everyone can achieve that standard. So keep smiling , that confuses them, and dont forget those feet are made for dancing. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Every sentence was punctuated by that guaranteed to get up my nose phrase: The kind of person who will post complaints on every web forum she can find, moaning about the staff who are useless. That's why I don't pay too much attention to those review sites. People who complain about service in shops are usually the ones who are at fault. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MRS B 490 Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 I worked in customer services for a local council for a year. I actually loved dealing with complaints and it was always a challenge to turn the complaint round for a positive outcome. Some people do think that punctuating their speech with bad language helps their cause and disregard the fact that you are actually trying to help them. Interesting times. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
