Farking scumbag Ryanair.

Got a place on the Mallorca 312 this year, and having left it late to book flights last year, got in early last October. They're the only carrier that goes out to Palma from Glasgow or Edinburgh at a time that works. My brother in law is now coming along for a wee holiday and as cycling company for a few days, and Ryanair now selling the exact same flight for £200 less.

They have a price guarantee policy whereby they will refund the difference if you can find the same flight cheaper elsewhere. Just not from Ryanair. Grrrrr

Don't get me wrong, I get it - if I buy a suite from DFS at £1,500 and they then put it in their sale a few weeks later at £500, I don't expect to be refunded the difference. However the budget airlines play the 'buy early, get the cheapest seats' card, and I've been stung before by hanging off until nearer the date.

Very frustrating. That's £200 worth of beer & pizza missed at Tolos.... or a couple of day's hire of a Dogma F8 Di2

People who put their name as the title of their TripAdvisor review, just why?

Sheaths.

TripAdvisor reviews from people who just want to complain (yep I work for a hotel company and some of the reviews are somewhat different to the internal questionnaires completed!)

I love it when they review a stay or visit from 10-11 months ago. How can that be valid? If you are pissed off, complain at the time, don't wait nearly a year.

People who can't put gym equipment back where it belongs

People who can't piss or shit straight in a public toilet, or have the decency to even attempt to wipe up after themselves

People who can't lift their own tray and put it in the pile after they've gone through security at an airport.

People who can't read simple instructions at airport security about what you can and can't take through in hand luggage and what combination of shoes, belts, jackets and accessories that must be removed.

People...

That last bit really does my head in, it's as if it's some amazing suprise.

Admittedly I tend to have pretty much everything in a plastic bag in advance.

However, these fuckwits at Security really do my head in, even when queueing for passport check for 20 mins, they get to the front then start looking for passport(s).. arrhhh.


Oh and a new one to add,

People that overtake you and then turn right at next junction 100 feet ahead, so you basically end up sitting behind them waiting for the dickheads to turn...

People who do 70+ in 50mph roadworks with average speed cameras. Do they know something I don't about the cameras, or are they just stupid and get regular points/fines? I put it in cruise at 50 and I am usually the slowest thing on the road. Grrrr!!!!

There's a stretch of the A1 I drive every day with average speed cameras. The other day I watched a boy racer floor it between cameras and then slam the brakes on at every camera.

One, he obviously wasn't paying attention at school they day they did averages and two, he's going to have a shock come through the door in a few weeks!

Being let down by people saying they'll do something and then not.

If you don't intend to ever do something just say so, it'll make life easier for everyone.
