Or people who can't properly que at caravan park on site bars and you end up with about 30 people stood one behind the other like there in a frigging taxi rank

Cocktails are the worst! Youre waiting for a bottle and some hen party in front of you is getting 10 stupid cocktails that take about an hour a piece to make!

Couldn't be doing with drinking somewhere like that, sounds like a right sausage fest! Much better with some delightful young ladies to converse with, even if you have to queue behind them at the bar!

I always think these places should have a separate 'express bar' where they just serve drinks, properly, as in pouring pints and opening bottles, then those who want to can actually get a drink.
If you want a drink which involves making a smoothie out of several different kinds of fruit, or lightly distressed mint leaves in a massive glass full of crushed ice, then you have to wait.

Poorly laid out bars where you can't get near it for fuds who insist on sitting at it.
i saw one on a football day out where you went in one end at a barrier system and snaked your way around to the drink end at the other.
no pub monkeys sitting a the end of that bar

Not a lot seriously irks me. Perhaps that's an age thing. One foot in the grave.
Of course I could cite single events but even then I'd be hard pressed to remember when I was last so ticked off that I had a go at anyone individual.
