Things that annoy you most in bars / clubs..

[BrightonRed]

Anyone got any top pet hates?

Queueing to get in.
Arrogant, power-crazed bouncers.
People who walk up to the bar 10 minutes after you and don't have the common courtesy to pass the barmaid/man onto you.
Women who use the gents.
The unavoidable 'cigarette reek' of all your clothes after as little as 10mins in a bar.
Overkeen glass collectors who consider quarter of a pint 'finished'.
Bars that are happy to serve you a pint at 10:59, then try to chuck you out at 11:05 making it out like you're keeping all the staff there unnecesarily. :evil:

The puddles of piss in the toilet (eveywhere in some places)
Losing your mates
Queuing at the bar for ages
The fruit machines that swallow my money after the inevitable drunken gambling
Pretty much everything else you said Brighton Red, except the cigarette thing doesn't really bother me

[Simon Pieman]

Oh yeah the queuing for the cloakroom. That's why I don't wear a coat anymore

[BrightonRed]

The fruit machines that swallow my money after the inevitable drunken gambling

However, a nice win can make a night! buying everyone drinks - paying for everything in pound coins!

Is soton gonna get hit hard after your exams then SiPie?

[Simon Pieman]

Yeah baby, got loads planned as I haven't been out for quite a while. Got loads of nights out planned and pub crawls galore. Hope the money lasts long ebough though :s I won't be heading back to Swindon til end of June I don't think

What about you?

[BrightonRed]

I'm lookin forward to the nights out (assuming I survive the night after my last exam)!, gonna spend the rest of June in Brighton hopefully soaking up plenty of sunshine and drinkin plenty of lager . BBQs etc.

But I think most of all I'm looking forward to relaxing in the park / on the beach knowing I've got no more exams, essays or coursework ever!

Might visit a few friends around the country - the kinda things i've meant to do for the past four years but haven't got round to!

Then I might consider the reality of being unempoyed!  :shock:

[Simon Pieman]

Fair cop. What do you study? Good potential grade? I kinda wish I did an easy subject now  

[BrightonRed]

I started studying Maths & Computing, but dropped out after 6 months - I just couldn't get on with the people on the computing side of things and didn't think I could face tackling a full-on Maths degree so I swapped over to Business & Law.

I only averaged 56 in my second year (25%/75% split 2nd/3rd year) so getting a 2:1 was gonna be an uphill struggle but I got some good results first semester 89, 78, 67, 66, 60 so it was looking do-able, but I lost all motivation towards the end of the second semester.
I'm probably looking at a solid 2:2 but a 2:1's not out of the question!

As it happens I enjoyed the accountancy when I did it as part of the business course, should have given it a little more consideration!
How are you finding it?

[Simon Pieman]

Bloody hard this semester (2nd year). First semester was good a 73,65,61 and 56 (bloody law) but some really shitty subjects and workload this semester - and I've hardly been out. Next year looks difficult but do-able, so I'm quite hopeful of a good grade. Weighted 50/50 between years though so this semester could ruin a potential 2:1 but still ages to go!

Met some top people on my course though and really enjoying the social side of things so it more than makes up for the work  

[BrightonRed]

too true, too true.. it's gonna be a wrench to leave. I toyed with the idea of sticking round for another year but there are no jobs down here and that makes it unrealistic financially

customers

When there's group of women at the bar getting drinks, one by one.  That's why we invented the round you dozy bitches.

When you've been waiting at the bar for ages then some bird pushes in and gets served before you.

When you've been waiting ages at the bar but some blok, or woman, has been waiting longer and you tell the bar man to serve him or her first and they don't thank you.

[Kinky Tom]

When I worked at 'spoons for a few months during uni, patrons would argue with you that they were next when I knew damn well they weren't.  I was good at keeping track of who should have been next, apart from when my mates were at the bar

I also hated this one prick in particular up in Hull, he had the nerve to tell me I was being a dick because I wouldn't leave the bar completely unattended in order to change the Carling for him.  

I was on the bar on my own, while the manager was in the office busy doing something, why he couldn't just have a different lager is beyond me, well maybe not, considering he was a Scott, and Carling was the cheapest lager.

Getting kicked out by bouncers for being drunk! They sold me the drink in the first place

I will never EVER go to a pub/bar these days that has bouncers on the door, and certainly will not queue for the privilige of paying rip off extortionate prices FACT!

People who don't say, 'He's next' when it's obvious you were there first, don't deserve to live.

I went into a crowded pub in the City some years ago and as I went over and stood with the people I was drinking with, some geek turned round and said, 'Sorry mate, some one's standing there!'  I ignored them needless to say.  :evil:
