I think it's just airports in general.Quote:

I remember being fascinated by airports when I was a bairn, now they are just depressing run down shopping centres desperately trying to part you with your cash.
Yep as recent as 10 years ago I used to love the whole atmosphere of the airport, once the smell of aftershave and perfume hit you it was excitement all the way. Now it's queues, chaos and ridiculously overpriced food and drink. Or maybe I'm just old :greengrinQuote:

I liked airports until last year when I was in Glasgow airport waiting on my flight to Crete, ordered a full Scottish and it came without haggis? I queried this and the waitress wummin said they don’t do haggis in that cafe/pub/thing. How the **** can you call it a “full Scottish” then? Get ****ed Glasgow Airport. *******s.Quote:

The worst part for me is the massive perfume counters they insist on you walking through after security. The smell is usually overpowering. :rolleyes:
I used to hate flying, can now live with it. I hate how expensive everything is at the airport, and almost always pretty awful quality.Quote:

My pet peeve with flying is the scratchcards they try to sell you on a Ryanair flight. I don't mind them trying to sell overpriced drinks, I don't mind them trying to sell perfumes and aftershaves, but selling a gambling product to a bored and captive audience feels a bit unethical. I genuinely don't mind being treated like cattle if I'm going abroad for £25 return, but that always sticks in my craw a bit.
Made the mistake of flying out of Prestwick to Barcelona once. We were heading to Primavera festival, and my friend hadn't been abroad. Told him that once we were through security, it's good to sit with a pint and people watch. All sorts of interesting people going all sorts of places.Quote:

Ten or fifteen minutes later: "Sorry about that, here's your beef burger, sir".
Just ate the ****ing beef burger.
I think dogs have been discussed on here before. My wife was at a gig last night for work. Someone brought their dog into the gig (not a service dog). That’s just plain weird to me. It wasn’t a pub either. Proper venue.
The main act asked people not to talk through the performance as well yet there was a barking dog.
That’s shan as all **** to be fair but what do you expect from weegies? Learned my lesson within 6 months of moving through here, they’re generally useless [emoji6]Quote:

Dugs have ****ing legs, walk the thing ffs !!
Given buses only have 1 space for prams (and a space for wheelchairs) that would be interesting to see how the driver would deal with a second pram needing to access the bus.Quote:

Ive seen countless times the pram/wheelchair area full and someone standing at the bus stop in pissing rain and due to lack of spaces the bus driver has declined them, its a shame but I suppose theres nothing else that could be done due to lack of spaceQuote:

My pet peeve about dogs is more about the owners, not having them on a lead and saying "he's harmless" or something similar. I don't care, get yer manky dog off me. Another one is owners picking up the dog poo then just throwing the bag anywhere apart from a bin. If your going to the effort of picking it up then why just chuck it?
Was sitting on a bus a while ago when a pram got on, I was in one of the seats in the pram space but there was room for the pram and the laddie to sit next to me. She sat down next to me then her jakey boyfriend told me to move as I was in the pram seats and he was with the pram! Needless to say I told him to bolt, which he did after moaning and trying to give me the stare. 😂Quote:

Each to their own I guess. I'd vacate the seat even if it was just 1 parent with their pram and definitely would if both parents were together with the pram.Quote:

My Wife just orders online, park in the bay, fire in the code and a nice person brings it out, open the boot and fire it in, job done 😃
Me, nearly every day. Last thing I want is a pile of stuff with use by dates of tomorrow which will end up in the recycle.Quote:
