Last night we joined our son, his fiancee and her mother at the menu tasting for the wedding reception. He and his fiancee have to choose 2 of the 4 different dishes we sampled for the 3 courses. The evening went well and most of it was delicious ( the pistachio creme brulee was just weird :P ). We stayed at the hotel overnight but the breakfast was a complete contrast to our experience the night before. We had to pre order the breakfast and I had chosen to have fruit, yogurt and toast. Covid was blamed for the reduced choice, fair enough, BUT although I knew the fruit would be an item of fruit I wasn't asked what I'd like. They brought an orange and refused to change it and then the yogurt they gave me was out of date!!! They brought me another but I still wasn't asked which flavour I wanted. Covid is getting used as an excuse for far too much sloppy service! :@ :@ :@

^Yeah, I won't order those little jam packets as they most probably put a jam I won't eat. I want order yogurt for same reason.

You'd think for the price of a room they'd swap it for you...
If fat means flavour then I'm ******* delicious!

I suppose you could lose it if it wasn't on your tool belt?

edit to add: I'd asked for a banana instead of the orange, maybe they'd run out but they didn't say that. They just said no. My husband was going to take it to eat it himself but I said no, they won't realise I really did not want an orange if he did that.

I think I had a moan about supermarket deliveries a while back, but here's another...

Not only is it ridiculously difficult to get a delivery slot at the moment, Tesco (and probably others) have upped the delivery charge from £1.00 (occasionally £1.50) to £4.00. :@

I must have another grumble about selfish runners. We were on a walk with my son and his fiancee at a beautiful spot that had stepping stones across a river. We waited for people to finish crossing from the other side then followed another couple across. I was going fairly slowly because I didn't want to fall in, my family were following me. I was over half way when this young woman came towards me quite fast and said "I must go!". Well, I thought maybe she urgently needed to reach a toilet or something so I turned round and started back. She said I didn't need to go back but there was
NO
way I was going to let a complete stranger try to push past on a small stepping stone. When I reached the bank she shot past saying she'd got another 20 miles to go...She was part of a group doing a long run and tbh her need to go past me wasn't urgent at all. I was extremely annoyed. Being part of a group run doesn't give you priority on a public path!!!

The city I live in hosts a Triathlon every year. Part of it is a 26 (?) mile bicycle run. Off season, when the weather is nice, a lot of the bikers come out to train. There's a small group of people living in the area who have a problem with the biking part of the Triathlon for various personal reasons. I'm not one of them.

We are also part of the original "Rails to Trails" program in this area. There's bike paths all over and all of them are paved.

I was driving down a street with narrow lanes that has several blind curves, which is part of the Triathlon. I was driving around one of those blind curves and almost hit a training biker who was riding in the middle of my lane. I followed for a few feet and he made no indication of moving over (he did not have ear buds in). I tooted my horn and he ignored me. I laid on the horn and he moved over.

I told him I almost hit him. He said, "Too bad you didn't." I suggested for him to ride towards the edge of the lane instead of the middle. He said, " I can ride my bike any place I want." The bike path was about 8 feet from the road and followed the exact curvature of the road. I told him to use the bike path. He said, "Bike paths aren't used in the Triathlon." Then he said, "Why are you people so hateful towards bikers?" I said, "Why do bikers like you ride in the middle of the lane on a blind curve so you can get hit?" I was tired of his insolence and drove off.

When people you know fall for gimmicky shit and you can't tell them it's gimmicky .-.

One of my fb friends was excited over these stupid acne sticker things. She showed me a photo of the morning after (she kept them on overnight) and was super grossed out over the white spots on the hydrocolloid patch and "look at how much it pulled out!"

Like....

Yeah. It didn't.

The way that works is it absorbs moisture. The more moisture, the whiter it is. You cannot physically pull anything from the breakout without puncturing it. Oh my god.

Why do people fall for gimmicky shit???? I understand wanting a magic fix for acne/spots but oh my god dude. No. This ain't it.
Arrr! Only th' Devil an' I know th' where'bouts o' me treasure, an' th' one o' us who lives th' longes' should take i' all.
