Grrrrr some people are just rude

[highlandjambo3]

An English couple just checked in to our guesthouse (Inverness), as polite as ever I said:

 

me….“so, are you having a bit of a holiday then?”

 

her….”yes….we couldn’t go anywhere special this year so decided to tour the highlands” 🤬🤬🤬🤬 are people just f**n deliberately rude.

 

 

Not the first time from our engerland folks…..last week another couple complained:

 

Didn’t see any wildlife….

No view due to the mist at the top of the Applecross peninsula….

Couldn't do a Jacobite cruise due to Loch Ness being (ever so slightly) choppy

not many food choices for celiac sufferers (at breakfast she couldn’t make her own “free from” toast in the toaster in case of cross contaminated crumbs)

 

There has been reams of them this year.  I believe it’s the same mob that when abroad are looking for “full English” breakfasts as they don’t eat foreign muck………….thankfully I’m making loads of WONGA though 😂

A guy I know has a guest house in argyll and an Italian woman demanded a refund because she couldn't see the loch that was in their online pictures.  It was foggy.  

Another German guy trire to blackmail him   Said to give him a tenner discount or he'll leave a bad review on trip adviser.  

I don't envy your job.

Reminds me of that documentary called, Attack of the Trip Advisors.

 

Would love to watch it again but cant find it anywhere.

Always an option. Manners cost nothing and the sense of entitlement of some people really is annoying.

 

I would put it in the small print on the breakfast menus.

I'm sorry, but I'm getting a vision of the old crabbit wifey who complained about not being able to see the sea view at Torquay during her stay at Fawlty Towers. It was too far away and she was short sighted.

We’ve an event on at my work just now where you get a pie and a pint as part of the ticket price and a woman today in the queue for pies loudly announced “it’s a shame the pies aren’t as nice as they used to be”. This was before she’d got her pie and tasted it. Or indeed knowing that the pies are from the same supplier.

You caused it.

 

Although 'you' means the whole tourist industry with your 'route 66' or highland challenge etc.

Nocturnal haggis spotting trips is the answer.  £25 a ticket.

On the last point cross contamination for coeliac sufferers can be pretty serious. A single crumb can cause quite a flare up depending on the sensitivity of the individual. Separate toasters and butter etc are recommended within the sufferer's home to minimise the risk. She sounds like an arse though.

Is saying the highlands isn’t somewhere special, offensive or even controversial?

 

I’m sure, your guest house is lovely and the highlands are beautiful but no idea why your getting offended. They just don’t see the higlands as special, fair enough.🤷🏻‍♂️

 

 

 

I would normally agree with this however seeing as how they're English then they probably were being offensive just by crossing the border. 😊

They are in Inverness and might've met some of the locals before checking in.  Give them a bit of leeway

I’ll be serving breakfast like this tomorrow…….

Had it today from a couple of arseholes tourists in the pub (edinburgh) Only up here cause they couldn’t get abroad. Moaning like **** about how expensive Edinburgh was. Like they didn’t research that aspect before they left. 
 

Explained the town centre is expensive but the same could be said about any capital city centre across the world. Arseholes.

Just one of those things.  Can't believe a political leader would come our with that about racist language.

I work in a city centre hotel bar. Personally, for a hotel bar in the centre of a European capital, it's absolutely reasonably priced. When I explained that to a couple of Weegies, one of them got pissed off at being reminded we were the capital. 

 

I also had a fat Yank earlier hand me a poly bag with, I kid you not, his shit stained undies in it, with a "Can you dispose of this for me?".

This. A UK resident not considering going on holiday elsewhere in the UK as 'special' is pretty normal, I would think.

I can still hear my modem trying to get me logged onto Compuserve in 1995.  I live with the memory of the desktop taking ten minutes to load a picture of Jo Guest. 

I'd be very disappointed if I was still an ignoramus after 25+ years of the internet.

[The Gorgie]

I like up north but as it's on our door step it doesn't feel special or like you are doing anything out the ordinary. Done the NC 500 twice and although great fun and amazing views, when it's not raining, I wouldn't call it a "special holiday".

Its a wee bit difficult to express how rude that statement came out………..I’m not suggesting there is anything special about where I live, probably because I live here but many people would call it special.  One thing I have learned in my travels round the globe…..if your in a shit hole, don’t tell the locals………….or of course if your a “runaway gub” sort of person then fill your boots.

Loved Inverness, great place. I lived and worked there for 2 years (2006/08), I would move back in a heartbeat.

Better. I worked in hospitality for many years when younger and whether he thought he was being humorous or is just plain rude is part and parcel of the gig. 

[highlandjambo3]

Anyway….they’ve now left to do the NC500……….I feel the NC500 will fail their expectations 😂

No knock on the door, “thanks for the hospitality etc…(or lack of it)”, no comments in the guest book, the keys were left in the room, room left like the Dingles front room, two bottles of drinking water provided by us, both open with a sip taken from each then left 🤬.  We provide instant coffee and fresh ground coffee in the rooms, fresh ground coffee pot spilled over the hospitality tray and wet coffee stains over the wall and kettle.  Breakfast table was left like a chimps tea party, 4 slices of toast (self made) left uneaten, jam/orange juice/coffee spilled on the table cloth 🤬🤬.  Tbh, it’s not really a new experience for me, just about 1 in 50 couples or so are like this so, I just roll with it…..just though I’d post to give you a flavour of how different people go about their business…….we’ve all probable met similar people.

 

Id never conduct myself in this manner, if I wasn’t hospitable I’d fail in the hospitality industry.
 

Anyway, I’m now firmly over myself, thanks for the dosh and later today……NEXT.
