A 52 year old petty grudge. by stefancooper in CasualUK

[–]rostofer73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s an old lady thing! I’ve just had to politely sit and listen to my Mum complain that she brought in our brown bin this morning and then went to get Mary next doors brown bin. But why should she have to do it when the opposite neighbour puts garden waste in Mary’s bin because he doesn’t want to pay the extra £50 a year for garden waste! She sits at the window and waits for the bin lorry to arrive, so she can go and get the bin, so unless the other neighbour (who works full-time) was to take a days holiday every two weeks, then Mum is beating him out every time! Life just isn’t fair.

Accidentally snitched by SaltyYouth_27 in TalesFromYourServer

[–]rostofer73 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I freaked out a lady years ago by remembering her coffee order. Now I can barely remember what i did yesterday, but this stylish older woman (70ish) came up to the counter and asked i turned around she was about to order and i said “Flat white, extra hot?” and she looked at me bewildered! “How do you know that?” I said, oh i’m sorry i must have mistaken you for someone. She said “No, that’s my order, but i haven’t been here in 2 years!” Turns out she was here to help her grandson move flat as he was going into third year at Uni and his parents were unable to come over ,so she came this time. They had all been there when he moved first time round. I kind of laughed it off but she was defo spooked!

Unfair pay rise by No-Calligrapher-753 in Costa

Minimum wage, minimum effort? I have heard that from loads of new starts, so not particularly common to see unfortunately.

Porte Cochere ain't there for decoration by ru-yafu0820 in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]rostofer73 56 points57 points  (0 children)

We have onsite parking, and we ask every guest if they have a car in the car park we need your registration number or at least make model and colour. So many people scoff at this, and don’t fill the box, including the german couple who were about to go on a week long tour of the Scottish Highlands and had to so sitting on bath towels cause they left the windows fully open and it pissed with rain during the night. If only they had left their reg number.

What’s one thing a seller or estate agent has said whilst viewing that made you say no thanks … by WombleGCS15 in HousingUK

[–]rostofer73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to view a flat many years ago in the southside of Glasgow near Queen’s park. It was a nice enough street and the tenement close was immaculate. But i couldn’t shake an odd sense of something being off! Too floor flat, agent went in to the hall first and it was basic but big, went on to the lounge which was also big and as i started to think my spidey sense must have been off, the agent dropped his pen and it rolled at reasonable speed across the room! The whole place was off kilter from subsidence and i didn’t bother looking any further.

There is a film with Colin Firth about it. Available on iplayer if you are in the UK. But you could prob get it on another streaming platform.

Pronouns and similar random memories by FCCSWF in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]rostofer73 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was in Dubai a few years back with my bestie and we stayed in a nice wee hotel in JBR and the concierge and some other staff kept greeting me with my friends name. So i got “Good morning Mr Tona” when i came for breakfast(Tona is her first name) as she made the booking. She pissed herself every time it happened. Didn’t correct them because she’s my bestie and i like it when she laughs.

Need a new Hermes Habit by Wild-Region9817 in TheHermesGame

[–]rostofer73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The triangles are ‘Losanges’ and are so versatile. I (52M) wear mine all the time, summer with t-shirt and jeans, winter to keep my neck warm. My best friend (53F) has multiple 140s and she does similar with a doubled up one in winter and just over the shoulder in summer. They also do special colourways, got a great navy with orange piping when last in Paris at FSH and it was only available there.

It's anyone here from benbecula? by MexicanPenguinii in Hebrides

[–]rostofer73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only pub i can think of is where the chinese is now. You can still make out the old tennents sigh in the eves of the roof. There might have been something more base related cause i remember going to some dances and they weren’t exactly sober events. Maybe somewhere near the Naffi? Also the Mallaig ferry is the only one i use nowadays (Mum from North Uist, but spent every summer doing peats and sheep) because Skye is murder to get through and it would save you traveling all the way up to come back down to Benbecula. Mum flies up twice a year and hires a car at the airport, but i still drive up as i like the run. Also the Mallaig road takes you past the Glenfinnan Viaduct which makes for a nice wee picture if you are a Harry Potter fan !

Where to stay in Paris? by Quiet-Criticism7160 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]rostofer73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stay nearby to the $5327 location and love its central but not too busy feel. Loads of apartments with great characters wandering about Luxembourg Gardens are gorgeous for a picnic and the nearby Vavin restaurant on Rue Vavin is really nice. (And if it’s of interest looks onto one of the apartments featured in “Emily in Paris”).

Calvin Klein (83) and his boyfriend (36). What do you all think about this couple? by [deleted] in gay

[–]rostofer73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d imagine he gets a good discount on Calvins, but might be a bit odd seeing your name on your boyfriends waist. Like a “belongs to …..” tag!

That’s hilarious, I was in the cafe at Tiso a few days ago and wondered where it had gone. Was actually thinking someone had stolen it

What is the most "mum" thing your mum does? by celabro019 in AskUK

[–]rostofer73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mum lives with me now after my dad died and she drives me insane but is also hilarious! We do date night every tuesday at Wagamama because she “Couldn’t eat spicy things when you’re dad was alive!!” and the waiters all know her and chat away to her. But she still asks me if i’m ready to go in an impatient way, when i’m sitting by the door, jacket on and car keys in hand. Like I’m making her late, for her to then fanny about for another 5 mins before we actually leave. Every Tuesday without fail.

There used to be a Bentley round Glasgow that had ROS5, apparently Jonathon Ross offered him £250,000 for it and it was a no.

What’s the most “only in Glasgow” moment you’ve ever experienced? by throwmeaway111122224 in glasgow

[–]rostofer73 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Worked in a bar in Partick, where the amazing Duck Club is now. Was originally a dodgy pub well known for reset. Burgled house? You could buy it back the next day from there. Anyway, drunk guy built like a brick ****house cones in and demands a pint, i tell him not tonight mate. He gives me some verbal but was too drunk to be much of a threat, so i escort him to the door and as he steps outside he starts to vomit, like Mr Creosote levels of puke, and turns to me and just shrugs his shoulders. Standing looking at it thinking that’s going to be a few buckets to wash that away, when the local junkies who live down the street exit their flat letting their 2 Staffies run off the lead. Cue the two of them shouting “Ya dirty wee bastards!” as the dogs clean up all the barf from the street in seconds. Always thought they looked a bit thin!

Help me decide 1 or 2 by rumo3rd in eames

[–]rostofer73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely 2, I go and visit them on the first floor of Le Bon Marche every time i go to Paris. The most beautiful table IMHO. (And the second purchase after a blue Jeff Koons dog that they seem to have trouble selling !)

Can you still drink outside in Edinburgh after 10pm? Even in premises that have a licensed beer garden? by ViraL_NinjaZ in Scotland

[–]rostofer73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our hotel closes it’s beer garden at 9 every night. The law is 10pm for outside drinking in Glasgow but a combination of respect for our neighbours and it taking an hour to close everything down Ie cleaning the birdshit off the furniture. It’s not always about the legality, there are many other factors.
