under the bar

QuotePolitical correctness gone mad.

Someone I know nipped into a coffee shop to grab a quick cup on the way to work.  He asked the girl behind the counter for a cup of black coffee.  The employee (who was black) asked him to rephrase it and said "Do you mind asking for a cup of coffee without milk?"

Thats some d**k with a chip on their shoulder.  I would have lost it.

I find that story pretty hard to believe unless the waitress was having a joke.

No, he said he was in a complete state of shock.  Even when he had left with his "coffee without milk" he started to think he maybe had said something to insult her.  Some people are just pr**ks.

Grilling sausages.   They curl up meaning you can't roll them a quarter turn to get them evenly cooked.    You get 2 quadrants fully cooked while then other 2 quadrants are still half raw.

Stab them on the inside curve.

Don't mention it.

 :D was actually thinking of other scenarios like that.  What happens if you want a black car how do you tell the salesman that without being PC?!  Maybe if you just point to it I would say.  Air on the side of caution.

Maybe he asked for a n***er coffee!  :o

People buying drinks in pubs with laser cards. Delays others getting their round in. Massive breach of pub etiquette imo.

thats not so bad when they do it the once but if they carry on doing it through out the day/night thats when it becomes tiresome. ffs go to the nearest cash machine or ask for cash back the first time at the bar.

People buying a paper in a shop with a laser/credit card is just as annoying..

People who believe that on the motorway, the left lane is for the slow drivers and the outside lane for the even slower driver  >:(

I could always use it, it was just that everything kept getting stuck on it!


Dont talk to me about dicks paying for a packet of chewing gum with a credit card!

Ignorant c***ts grind my gears. Going to work this morning and driving up this narrow road (only room for one lane of traffic) and there was this lorry stopped with the back opened up blocking the whole road. 
This **** started to wave his arms and scream obscenties (I could read his lips) as soon as he seen me! (He could at least wait until he gets to know me) and then he had to close up the back of the lorry, stopping every couple of seconds to shout in my direction before he drove off in a temper.  I wouldnt mind but at this stage there were two queues of traffic waiting to get around the the ****.  What did he think was going to happen when he blocked off the road?  ???
