Things you hate III

Champagne socialists who go on about multi culturalism but don't actually have any friends that are nt white or posh , whilst all the working class people they secretly despise, have been mixing , befriending and breeding with first generation immigrants for years .

 

Bull imo. As soon as they locate a well to do Indian or Nigerian family they swam like flies around a poo and go over the top in trying to be friends with their new, token ethnic associate.

As in, "ooh we must get Dev and Nisha over for dinner and maybe invite the Adobossis from over the road. Let's not invite the Liebowitzes though, as I think they are probably Zionists."

Agree with that for sure.

 

Tripadivsor.... trying to find a hotel for holiday and every hotel is either:

1* DO NOT GO, WORST HOTEL EVER!

or

5* BEST HOTEL, DOESN'T GET BETTER THAN THIS!

Real pain in the arse.

 

Yup. It's basically a waste of space as no two people have the same standards and expectations.

 

That's why I always look at the 2 and 4 star ratings and look for more detailed descriptions. It's not perfect, it never can be with those types and fake reviews, but I find Tripadvisor a fairly useful tool.

 

"Ignore the bad reviews - this is the best hotel ever!"

"ignore all the positive reviews - this place stinks!"

People who don't understand how a ratings aggregator works.

 

I had to go somewhere quickly for work one time and the only hotel with availability had only terrible reviews of that nature. However, I did notice that it had just changed ownership. Had a great night there, very hospitable, room and food terrific.

 

I used it last weekend. All negative reviews were about the food. All positive reviews were about the staff and accommodation. Seeing as we weren't eating there, job was a good'un. No idea what the food was like but the stay was awesome.

I guess always look at what the negative reviews are for and if they are pedantic or don't match what you would complain about then all good.

 

Last year I stayed in a B&B near a prospective University for my daughter. The place was nice enough but the road noise all night was awful and I got no sleep. I didn't enter a review as I don't want to be the one to lose them bookings.
There was a camp site we used to use a lot when the kids were younger until we had a very bad experience there. I reviewed it honestly and they got the review removed.

It's all smoke and mirrors.

 

If you look at restaurants with the most number of reviews in Watford they seem to be skewed to Indian Sizzler and another place I can't remember. Watford has a number of restaurants and a lot of them are pretty good, yet Indian Sizzler seem to have about 4 times the number of reviews as others; a friend of mine went there and thought the place and food were distinctly average and wrote a 3 star review. The review was removed, yet on closer inspection nearly all of their reviews are for 4 or 5 stars and the majority from accounts where the review is their only Trip Adviser contribution; if Trip Adviser were to maintain their credibility they should not allow genuine reviews to be removed while allowing obvious fake ones to remain but of course that would be a mammoth task.

 

The catchphrase 'the mother of all...' used to describe something big.

This was first made popular by loveable scamp Saddam Hussein, who promised "the mother of all battles" when the Yanks invaded. Although they scoffed at the time, they must have loved it and they haven't shut up about it since.

Now we have the 'mother of all bombs' dropped by Trump and the Russians threatening to respond with the 'father of all bombs' which is even more powerful.

Then over the weekend there's been a CIA-organised coup attempt against Maduro in Venezuela through the means of the 'mother of all protests'.

We can't expect the boys with the red-framed spectacles in advertising land to have missed this catchphrase and no doubt they'll be using it to exhaustion over the coming months and years. Look forward to 'the mother of all pizzas', 'the mother of all investment opportunities' and 'the mother of all anything else they're trying to flog'.

I'm already bored of the stupid phrase.

 

Sounds like my morning constitutional.

 

Women on facebook who seem to think that prosecco is an elixir sent from god... and how "going out on a school evening" is so very rebellious & something only they do! You go hun!



and while i'm at it.. what is it with women and Sushi? Are they the only ones that eat it?

 

Anyone who draws attention to their drinking is a bell end.

 

Forum posts where "your" is incorrectly used instead of "you're". Might as well just write yaw it makes as much sense.

 

I think the catchall term is basic *****

Like naming themselves after a pub?

 

I take a lot of reviews I find online with a pinch of salt. If everything goes swimmingly and there are no problems, people don't tend to find the need to write a review most of the time. If things go **** up, the first thing they want to do is write a scathing review.

Banged to rights.

 

Yore spot on.

 

People who go to the World Snooker Championships and wear their football shirt.

 

Totally with you on that one, one of my pet hates. They should ban them.

 

I know that a few people on the first or second row may be able to show their shirts off on TV but I was at the Crucible yesterday and people near the back were too, I'd say there were at least 50 people wearing football shirts, most were Man U shirts, bit sad really. :sign6:

 

The recently popular flavour combination of white chocolate and raspberry.

White chocolate? With raspberries?

The dirty, dirty bastards.

 

Any white chocolate really, I find it too sickly sweet.

 

That's why you eat it with something mildly sharp like raspberry.

 

or ginja!

 

Selfie sticks....and people that take countless selfies in weird places whilst pouting like a fish

 

On a train, only other people's phones coming up when you phone searches for wifi. Keep your iphone to yourself 'Steve'.
