Seems to happen in most restaurants these days.Fiiish said:Is it me or is it becoming significantly more difficult to leave a restaurant nowadays? Last three places I've been to, service is otherwise faultless except once you're finished your last course no one seems to come to see if you're done when clearly you want to pay and leave. And they seem to think this requires separate interactions.
"Are you finished?" Yes ie can we get the bill and pay
5 minutes later
"Can we get the bill"
5 minutes later
"Here's the bill" (walks off for no reason)
5 minutes later
"Oh you're paying by card?" Goes to get the card machine
5 minutes later you finally pay.
Why not just bring the card machine once the last course is finished and stop wasting everyone's time? If I'm not ready to pay I'll let you know. And they wonder why I tell them to take the service charge off.0 -
Just get up & walk out - they're soon be after you to pay.Fiiish said:Is it me or is it becoming significantly more difficult to leave a restaurant nowadays?

The trouble is the staff are often so comatose that I doubt they'd notice a table leaving without paying for at least half an hour and then I doubt if caught that excuse would wash with a copper.golfaddick said:

We have 2 driveway spaces and on Sunday someone dumped a 2 year old Merc there which means my partner can't park her car at our house.
I'd love to slash a tyre or deface it but for all I know it's a drug dealer's or stolen and someone has stashed it there. Either way it's shady and I'm thoroughly pissed off with it! I've just reported it to the council (it is taxed) but for all I know it could be weeks before they come. I f'n hate how selfish, thoughtless and self entitled 'people' like that are.3 -

Yeah, literally! So whilst I have been tempted to add some kind of bodily matter to it (eg cat poo on the bonnet) I don't really want some scum bag taking things further. Maybe I should call the police too and see if anyone has reported it as stolen.DaveMehmet said:

If it is on your drive then ignore all this private clamping bollox, put the window through, handbrake off and move it onto the road. If you find any cash in there, keep it and if you find drugs PM me.RedPanda said:We have 2 driveway spaces and on Sunday someone dumped a 2 year old Merc there which means my partner can't park her car at our house.

About 6 months ago a woman began parking in one of our 3 spaces in the drive. I live in a block of 3 flats; one neighbour knows nothing about the car, and the other flat has actually traded hands in the time this woman has been using the space. She's parked there around 8-7 everyday, other than Sundays, suggesting she's going to work somewhere nearby..
Her car is a bit beaten up (despite being relatively new), so I don't particularly trust her.. not to mention she's nearly ran me over twice in the past month. When she's reversing out there's no stopping her.
I initially thought "Nah, she's not going to be ballsy enough to pull in to someones drive to nick their parking spot".. I believe I'm now wrong.0 -

Same here. Completed my tax return just before xmas & logged on yesterday to pay my tax bill only to find the log-in details weren't being accepted, even though I only verified them last month. wtf ??? Not the first time this has happened. I think I might just do a Carillion & not pay.Macronate said:

My thoughts exactly. If its only 2 years old it must be worth quite a bit. I'd assume that its been stolen & then dumped. Take it for a joyride or use it until it is claimed.cafcdave123 said:

Yeah, they are indeed. At a 90 degree angle to the drive itself which runs along the side of the property.cafcdave123 said:

The motor on a drive would have been shifted too, don't worry about comebacks, that has been dumped.
Don't waste your time shitting on it, phone the old bill and they will take it away I promise you2 -
I hate business terminology at the best of times, but two phrases I’m hearing more and more recently that sicken me to the core
“I/we’re/we’ll keep our powder dry” and “getting my ducks in a row”

Guilty of using the powder one but to be fair the origin of the phrase does predate the modern office by a few centuries.cabbles said:I hate business terminology at the best of times, but two phrases I’m hearing more and more recently that sicken me to the core
