Today's "What Gets My Goat" - NO POLITICS!

[darrsi]

:agree

When I relocated from Newbury to Kettering I took a stop-gap job in a busy village pub, and because I am "of a larger build" than most people that the landlord and landlady used to insist that that I evict the trouble makers (mostly pissed up farm workers). What used to annoy me is that it soon became a game to these idiots and more and more I was constantly "escorting" people out through the fire exit using their heads to open the doors. What pissed me off that the landlord knowing that i would sort the problem started to get really aggressive with the troublemakers and when they kicked off he would be nowhere to be seen only to pop up again like Mr Ben's shopkeeper once the problem had been dealt with.

I got sick of it and when I started demanding that they get a doorman or at least increase my wages to cover what I was having to deal with, I was laid off.... funny that. Last I heard the pub had got so rough and the landlord could not cope and had given up the tenancy. But I really don't get why people go to pubs purely to start trouble as it ruins everyone's evening.

I've found over the years that it's rarely people who go for just a few beers that mainly start trouble, but the ones who are bugled up to the eyeballs on the devil's dandruff, and then also mix it with booze.
I've seen many a placid man, and woman, turn into complete and utter wankers when they're off their heads.
The even more annoying thing is that they don't even appreciate the fact that they're being complete arseholes either.

It pisses me off as well when I read newspaper articles about people in court that have done heinous crimes but it's always alcohol that gets blamed because it's an easy excuse, but there's hardly ever any mention of drug using.
The criminal liars tend to keep that one as quiet as possible in court to paint a rosier profile of the accused.  :rolleyes
