Well its 4 am on the 1st of November and thats me given up cigs for officially 48 hours! Ive went 2 weeks without a fag a few times but this is the first time ive done 2 days in a while....hopefully it won't all collapse horribly this time when i have a drink like it usually does. anyway going too sleep...thats another guaranteed 8 hours!

ive been workin in bars long enough (i should really do something with my life) that certain things have turned from observations...to slight annoyance...to mild aggravation...to just despising whoever commited the offence.

heres my list of things that piss me off in bars (which will probably grow as time passes and i become even more jaded and cynical than i am now)

1. People that leave their empty glasses at their tables when they leave or come to the bar for more drink (its not hard to bring them with you), also i find that these people are generally the ones who get annoyed when you have to leave the bar to collect glasses bacause people aren't returning them.

2. People that order their round a drink at a time as if i can't possibly remember more than 3 drinks at once, this is even more annoying when they choose to order guinness as the last drink and then they satnd there wondering why they have to wait for like 2 minutes for it to settle...twats

3. People who stand at the bar for ages trying to get your attention to serve them and then when you finally get to them there like "er, a blue wkd and er...mike, what you want?..er oh yeah a stella and er..etc"

4. People (usually the same as above) that order their drinks, get their drinks and then decide to actually fish their money out from their purse/back pocket/handbag/manbag as if its a suprise that they had to pay!

5. when the bars busy people that wave in your face or click their fingers to try and get your attention, then when you serve the person who was there before them next they're all like "eh, it was me next" as if clickin your fingers in my face constitutes some sort of unspoken contract"

6. People that when the round is say £11.56 say " i'll give you £10 cash" ha fuckin ha it wasnt funny the 1st time i heard it and it sure aint funny the 12th time tonight

7. People that refuse to leave after they have had their 15 minutes last orders and 15 mins drinkin up time, "aye im just finishin it pal" your obviously not cos thats what you said 20 minutes ago, your not getting a lock-in your fat, ugly and you smell bad now piss off!

8. Sometimes when your busy and you run out of glasses so someone keeps serving and the other quickly gets some glasses done and all you can hear is "you serving mate?" or "2 vodka cokes mate" if you brought your glasses back to the bar the problem wouldnt arise in the first place!

9. when serving someone says "2 pints of tennants when your ready pal" as if they are the 1st person to say it and it somehow means they can magically jump to the front of the line

people + bevvy = twats
