    Almost every bastard journey we have taken in the past two weeks - be it by air, train or coach - being delayed or disrupted in one way or another.

    Also being in a Greene King pub on Friday evening where they had run out of IPA!

    Asking for sauce at a restaurant, only for it to come once you've basically finished your meal.

    The waiter had to double check whether it was Cawley or Nixon.

    I asked the waitress for some sauce a couple of weeks ago “well, I’ve got some nice melons if you fancy some of those” she replied

    Being sold a live stream for tonight's match, that doesn't work on the device (phone) that I bought it on. To make matters worse, the audio subscription that I have didn't work either.

    Heston gets the hump when you ask for Daddies on your foie gras, with oak smoked samphire on a bed of wilted arabian grown lambs lettuce...

    When a player takes a rubbish penalty but the keeper goes the wrong way and the commentator says, “brilliant penalty” or words to that effect.

    I completely disagree and you’re out of order for saying it 😉

    Also when they say the taker missed the penalty when in fact the penalty was saved.

    Also a player crosses the ball but no one is in the box. Great cross they say but what's the point if no one is on the end of it.

    Except when yours is backed by facts, and theirs is made up in their head (or more likely something they have read/heard eleswhere).  ;)

    When a bus stop is closed due to a diversion, and the sign tells you to catch the bus at another stop. Then when the bus arrives at the other stop the driver doesn't open the door and just drives off.

    Hired a pedalo in Majorca yesterday and not only did I nearly break my bleeding neck climbing the ladder to the slide, I only lasted half an hour before I got seasick. Left my wife and daughter on the beach and went back to the hotel to chuck my guts up.

    Shouldn't laugh... Hired one myself last year with a slide on it. Climbed to the top and I'm a fat bastard so made it very top heavy. Whole thing tipped about like a punch ball, wife and kids screaming in genuine fear. That went down well

    Lloyds Bank - Started up a business account a while back. The business only actually started trading at the start of August so started looking at getting access to the account online. Even though I started the account, the account is in my name and I have the card and pin number to it; they want me to print and fill out a form and post it to them, to give myself access to online bankng. Can totally see going to this hassle if I wanted an accountant or a.n.other to have access, but the person who actually opened it?

    As much as I laughed at your misfortune I actually sympathise with you.  Id get seasick on a damp lawn. It has to be one of life’s worst things it can chuck at you.

    I think what generally annoys me about puking on boats is when I tell my Mrs that the only thing that stops it is staring at the horizon and not reading a book, only for her to read a book then be sick and somehow blaming me. Not that it was a great journey - a catamaran in Croatia. They aren't the most stable of boats, and this crossing was rough. Didn't help that we had a one year old strapped into her buggy rocked to sleep until she puked herself. That set my wife off honking. Had.to hold baby on my chest as the boat dipped and a chain reaction of puking took over the boat. I had to be a vomit sponge for daughter for the rest of the trip. Turned up at the fancy hotel we'd booked topless in only a pair of pukey shorts. 

    Didn't shit myself I suppose.

    My Mrs on a whale watching trip from Darling harbour Sydney, whales were spotted and with only about 10 people on the boat we could not get an good viewing spot when right on cue Mrs B starts to throw up. Caught between the devil and a hard place (whales are my thing) I’m hovering not knowing where my loyalties should lie between my lady of 25 years or the chance of a lifetime to see these beautiful creatures, seeing my dilemma one of the crew came over and seeing that as my cue I shot up the stairs in time to see a humpback leap from the sea. No time for a photo but we could see more whales on the surface and were told one had dived so we could expect another breech (technically term for jump) I ran down the stairs excitedly to tell my wife she needs to come see this just in time to see her head disappear into a bucket for the umpteenth time with a now amplified vomit echoing around the boat, as I turned to climb the stairs to wait the magic moment I distinctly remember mouthing the words “oh do f*** off” in time to see these magnificent creatures playing in the ocean. 
    As the boat reached the calmer waters (not that it was rough) my Mrs appeared on deck with a crew member who said I could have her back now, just in time to see the opera house, as we moored at Darling harbour we passed a  shop with the biggest chocolate cakes in the window. 
    Don’t you ******* dare she said with a look that every man would understand, 🤷‍♂️

    Boarding aircraft - if they call Zone 2 to board why do umpteen fuckwits in Zone 3 get up and start queuing &/or forming an alternative ghost queue?

    i would flat out  refuse boarding to anyone who tries to board or even gets up out of their seat if their zone is not called

    (apologies if this is only a North American thing)
