I'm probably in the minority but getting your hair cut at the barbers and having to make small talk. Just cut my hair in silence please

Apparently if you fill some old pop bottles with water and place them in different parts of your garden it stops the cats coming in.

Anything for the weekend sir?
In all fairness they're like therapists for those in need.
I'm usually so knackered it's like a massage that sends me to sleep.

You should try it in a different country.
The first time I went for a haircut in the USA, I was asked about the form and players of a sport I knew nothing about.
The best response is "sorry, I only follow cricket" - which leaves them with a perplexed look.
Dentists can be just as bad for small talk. But the worst thing is when you are asked a question and your mouth is full of dental implements.
And the answer to any question has to be "ah ink oh".

My dentist takes the opportunity to lecture me on all the things I can and can't do after I leave the surgery: "No alcohol for three days". Yeah right, as if that's ever going to happen!

people who overtake you while walking only to immediately turn the corner in front of you, forcing you to stop
Yes I will try to trip you up if you do it again!

Have you considered a career as an English teacher?

No. The only thing that would attract me to teaching is the notional holiday allowance.

When you are really, really exhausted and decide to take a nap and you set the alarm clock for 2 hours later, you lie down and are just drifting off when the phone rings. You answer it in case yoiur daughter has been in a car accident (it happened once before). Turns out it's your ex-wife calling. You immediately say "I'm exhausted and was just about to take a nap", She responds "this will just be quick", then keeps you on the phone for 45 minutes listening to all her life's woes, despite me saying about six times "I really must get back to my nap". Then when it's finally over, you have to put the alarm clock forward one hour to compensate for lost nap time.

Cunts on social media every other Saturday explaining why they're not going to St.Andrews.
No one is intersted you boring cunts.
Whatever it is you're doing instead, go and bore the people you're doing it with you tedious fucks.

I'm just back from a week in New York and have a plethora of grievances with the people and the city.
First off, it's an absolute fucking rip off. $8-10 for a beer and the best part is that they serve pints in 400ml measures so you're getting double screwed. That's just the tip of the iceberg though. Restaurants / cafes etc charge ludicrous amounts and once you add in tips and tax the bill is enough to make you cry. We stopped at one place and got one medium pizza and two beers which came to $55.
In a cafe they added in 20% gratuity onto the bill and had the cheek to leave space for an additional tip.
The whole place is only fit for the rich and tourists with cash to burn.
Then there's the constant beggars and scam artists to deal with on a daily basis plus the dead eyed unfriendly locals and unrelenting humidity and smell of piss.
It does have it's upsides. The comedy clubs are amazing and the views are truly breathtaking but don't think I'll ever go back. I much prefer laid back European places like Krakow.

You picked the wrong place to go in the USA.
Even the wrong place in New York state.
There are many, many great places in the USA.
New York City is highly atypical of the US as a whole.
Just like London is atypical of the UK or Paris is atypical of France.

I don't really get the love affair with New York, or any similar city like London. Too busy, noisy, dirty and expensive. Only tend to visit those places if I'm going for an event and then its in and out.
Stay in New Jersey now when I go over. Way cheaper and some nice little towns. Transport network is great, you can get in to Grand Central from a lot of places cheaply and quickly so no real reason to hang around in NY itself.

Yeah it's so expensive now coupled with the Tory wankers deliberately devaluing the £. It has symmetry with its cross Atlantic mate London. It's basically an extreme microcosm of the western world, no coincidence it's a 'financial centre'

I'd spoken with a few people who lauded New York and said it was the best place in the world and my girlfriend was mad to get over so I gladly agreed.
As soon as I got off the bus in midtown I knew it wasn't going to be all it was cracked up to be. Black bin bags were piled high outside every restaurant or shop. Aggressive looking people loitering around and massive amounts of people everywhere. Then I went into a shop to buy a bottle of water and was charged $4...
Nearly every bar in Manhatten was some faux Irish bar called O'(insert Irish name) that was run by Mexicans and they were mostly deserted too. We walked around Manhatten looking for decent bars and they were hard to come by.
Times Square was awful. A massive neon shit hole filled with gawping tourists and scam artists. I was called racist four times for failing to buy blank CDs off "rappers"
We also went to see the Yankees not realising the stadium is slap bang in middle of the hood. It made Hillfields look like a Utopian dream.
I think I'll try the US again but stay away from the big cities.

got to be honest, I love the place and fortunately didn't come across any of the issues you did..
I'll probably never go again as there's a lot more places to see but I've said if I do I'll stay in Brooklyn rather than Manhattan.

Yep, exactly the same type of experience I encountered.
I was so glad when I flew on to Denver, which I absolutely adored. Nicer people, cleaner air, better atmosphere, more laid back.

So you didn't expect New York City to have massive amounts of people?
NYC is great for museums, art galleries and theatre, none of which it sounds like you are into.
Go 25 miles north into Westchester County or a bit further into Putnam County.
There you'll find leafy suburbs, far less people, plenty of interesting things to see and do do and cheaper beer.
Or go out to New Jersey, Long Island or Connecticut all easily reachable by train from NYC.

I expected to see a lot of people but New York is massively over populated. To the point where it's uncomfortable. Queues everywhere for everything.
I went to a show on Broadway and to a few museums. It was nothing you couldn't get in any major city.
I'm not sure why you're giving me retroactive advice on where to go on the outskirts of New York but thanks anyway. Once my time machine works I'll put it to good use.

Since you critised New York City (actually just Manhattan since that appears to be all you visited), I was merely pointing out it does have attractions that many people enjoy.
Not for your benefit, but for the benefit of others who might be discouraged by your negative criticisms.
You have obviously already made up your mind it's not for you, and I tend to agree.

It doesn't appear that way at all as I clearly stated in a previous post that I visited Yankee Stadium which is in the Bronx. If you're going to act the prick and make assumptions about my character then please make sure you don't make yourself look like an ill informed fool.

I have been to Manhattan, and i quite enjoyed it, but i was there with a work colleague so we just did the majority of cheap to-do's and walked a long way. It's one of those places you have to go to, but i much prefer Washington DC. Seattle's cool too, and i enjoyed the experience of being in Madison, WI (my first trip to US).
