Pet Peeves IV

Restaurants that don't distribute the tips equally between staff.

People who give you the answer they think you want to hear instead of being honest, causing far more annoyance /upset in the longer term.

That's why if I think my waiter\ess deserves a tip they get it in a handshake as I leave.

Same with me.

I think it's quite common amongst people who have worked/work in the industry and know what the gratuity system can be like.

A man after my own heart. There are a few basic clothing rules that men seem unable to grasp these days.

Shoes and belt should match
Bottom waistcoat button should be left undone
Tie and pocket square should never be the same design/pattern

Also a £120 suit well fitted (for a reasonavle fee from a good tailor) will look infinitely better than an off the shelf £300 suit.

Buttoning etiquette of a suit jacket is another one.

In pubs :

Getting a pint that has little air bubbles up and down the inside of the glass. It's a sign it hasn't been cleaned and dried properly.

Real ale that's chilled, draught or bottled. It's just wrong.

Filthy tables and bar tops.

Real ale that isn't cold enough. Should be between 11-13 degrees.

People who call chips and curry sauce "chips and curry"

People who call cheese on toast "roasted cheese"

Honestly, WTF are you on?

That's how I see it - as long as the nozzles are cleaned daily (which is usually the case otherwise te beer's crap. Far more risk from the towels used to dry/polish glasses IMO.

Exactly this. It's no more or less hygenic than drinking out a glass than hundreds of other people have drank from before you that sits and gathers dust overnight and between drinks.

If people here are worried about something as harmless as the nozzle being dipped in the pint then they'd have a heart attacking if they saw some of the things that happen out of their sight but as the saying goes' "what you don't know can't hurt".

As for the comment about its being a shoddy practice by poorly trained staff, you'll no doubt find that 99% of people working these jobs couldn't care less about what practice is good or bad and they just want to get through their 10-12 hour weekend shift on minimum wage as easily as possible so they can get their own beer money to keep them going while they study at Uni something that actually requires half a brain.

I wouldn't insert my kitchen tap into a glass if I was pouring someone a glass of water. My taps are cleaned daily.

I have also worked in a bar years ago where they would serve the slops from the drip trays .

No problem, just don't expect a roll as you know it.

I also worked in a bar a long time ago which used the same practice but it was not sharp practice nor was it a conscious attempt to ignore hygiene. The heavy and light beer fonts and drip trays were actually designed as integrated units which automatically recycled the overflow beer. Granted, it would be frowned upon nowadays and probably banned on health and safety grounds but it was the system in those days. If you want to hear about a really unhygienic and illegal practice, I knew a pub where employees were told to throw slops and even abandoned beer into buckets which, in the beer cellar, was strained through muslin sieves and recycled into barrels and canisters. Now, that's a lot more worrying and disgusting than issues with beer nozzles.

I think you've missed the point slightly,I am well aware of what constitutes good and bad hygiene practices and the ideal breeding grounds for bacteria. My point is there is absolutely no need to insert a dirty foreign object into the pint you are about to serve me.

[Jim44]

According to 'Wadsworth's perfect serve', some of the recommendations state that the nozzle should remain outwith the liquid at all times, which supports the argument of some. However I question whether the reason for that is more to do with the physics of pouring the pint rather than hygiene issues, because one 'perfect serve' technique requires the long nozzle to be suspended in the liquid at all times. - http://www.wadworthtraining.co.uk/pd...fect-Serve.pdf

I reserve my right to be peeved :

[#FromTheCapital]

Fireworks. I like watching the professional shows, but idiots who buy fireworks from a local corner shop and fire them in the middle of residential areas just for the sake of it get on my nerves. My dog is scared of them and it makes her nervous for ages... If we have her off the lead when out for walks, she'll try to run away home if she hears one. All just so a bunch of neds with nothing better can entertain themselves. It's only early October and they've already started 😫

I believe the blue blazer still uses that system, or at least they did 4 years ago. Supposedly not uncommon in traditional cask ale pubs.

Agree there's no need by the way but there were definitely people talking about the hygene aspect of it

[brianmc]

A real peeve of mine are the people who take the time to type a stupid question on an internet forum/Facebook, for instance "what time is kick off on Saturday?"....

Surely if they can manage to log in and type their daft question they're capable of using google to find out the answer for themselves??

At a gig and the crowd start chanting "here we, here we, here we f*****g go". I'm possibly just old and grumpy but find it utterly chavtastic.

My mate takes great delight in joining the chant just to annoy me 😒
