Just got back from a 10 day cruise in the Caribbean. One thing happened on the ship that I want to share.

I was in line to get a hotdog and fries from the grill up on deck by the pool. It is lunch time and very busy, the dogs are really good. I was third in line behind two other older men like me. Actually the ship only had older men like me. Anyway, the guy first in line got his 2 hot dog and fries plates from the guy behind the counter, and the asshole states loudly and with attitude, "cant these guys understand, I dont want fries!". He then tilts both plates and pushes the fries off the plates right on to the counter. The poor guy behind the counter just says "nooo", in a confused manner, like why did you do that look on his face. But, he cant and doesnt say a word to the asshole.

Now the help on the ship doesnt understand, they speak basic food serving english, thats it. They work hard and dont complain. Most are from third world countries. They all go out of there way to be nice even though they dont understand much. The asshole didnt have to do that. Now the server had to stop the line, and clean up the ******** mess.

The guy in front of me, and behind the asshole, turns and looks at me with a disgusted smirk on his face. So I say loudly,"some people just have to be an asshole". Loud enough for the asshole to hear as he was putting ketchup on his dogs. So I repeat even louder, "you dont have to be an asshole". I am sure he heard because I could see his back tighten up.

The asshole turns and says to me as he is walking away, "who asked you?". So I barked bark at him, "I am telling you!".

And that was it. Now I felt bad afterword because your not supposed to talk to others like that. But, he was an asshole.
 
Cruise ships are weird, odd entitled people sometimes...

On mine, you had to reserve for dinner. If you didn't, you had to wait for a spot. They made this CLEAR multiple times

This couple in their 70s, was constantly complaining about it, asked for a manager . Manager gave them FREE mixed drinks whole they waited. They kept complaining, saying they are filing a complaint

After 15 min, we get in together. They sit down, and complain to the waiter, he gets manager. Manager explains again. Bthey get his name and waiter ( who was super fast and nice)

They complained about the food all dinner, and put together a plan of who they are gonna report. It was sickining

As they are complaining about the roast, I said " mines great, whats wrong with yours?"

They sneered at me, and just said " it's terrible"


That was the first time I had ever experienced something like that, it was unbelievable, they were SO unhappy...

maybe the should of gotten off the ship if they didn’t like the food
 
Unfortunately there are a lot of people like that.
 
It sucks for sure. Some people aren't happy unless they're making everyone around them unhappy. Piss poor social skills if you ask me, too bad they didn't get that *** kicking when they were younger and deserved it. There used to be consequences when people behave improperly. The younger gen doesn't get this kind of tough love/education that a lot of us graybeards were exposed to when we were growing up.. Society is on a slippery slope I fear....

Sorry to hear about this, usually cruises are fun. I bet this put a damper on your day. The guy didn't have to be a dick about it, just tell them you don't want the fries that's it, simple. How does the guy behind the counter know that, he deals with hundreds of other people. Then to dump the fries on the counter like that, unbelievable. Like a little kid who don't want his veggies. Its like dude, you're on a cruise enjoy it for cry nah loud.
 
Sorry you had that encounter, but could have been worse!!

I’ve been on several cruises.
They can bring the asshole out in lots of people.
It’s as if, by paying to be on the ship, some folks deem themselves entitled to behave like ********.
 
Just don't eat them.

It's not like someone was holding a gun to his head making him eat them.

I always try to go out of my way to be nice to restaurant employees. It's a low paying physically demanding job.
 
its not just the older folks that are ********.
have you heard about the kids all headed down south for spring break??
their rationale is that they wont get sick and die because they are young.

i watched in disbelief as they interviewed some of the kids,who acted like spoiled brats.
meanwhile,they can all be carriers.........and they are all congregating in one place...??!!
and after spring break they will all be heading home...God save us from Stupidity....
 
Sounds like the asshole from New York back in '89 in Jamaica that yelled at the waiter, loud enough for the entire place to hear, "THIS ISN'T THE WAY THEY COOK MY STEAK IN NEW YORK". Waiter dumfounded, so I told the guy to go the hell back to New York then... and that's when the fight started! LOL
 
I always treat the wait staff as I would want to be treated. Talk with them, joke with them, have fun with them. Don’t particularly want my waiter to drop a deuce in my bangers and mash. Also, I always tip with cash. Waitresses around here tell me that that is very much appreciated.

National Guard should show up and arrest everyone of those snot noses and put all of them in quarantine. ******** need to be handled accordingly...IMO
 
I see it in Mexico all the time. Foreigners come in and act like THEY own the place.
I don’t see it happen so much in Canada, but all the time in Mexico.
And in Britain they just don’t put up with it.
Twice while waiting in line People simply walked to the front of the line, as if the rest of us in line didn’t exist. Both times feisty Brits tore them a new asshole. It was inspiring.
At the time, Britain was part of the EU. We (Canadians and Americans) are waiting in the customs line to enter the country. A bunch of Germans get to walk right in. In my loudest asshole voice I ask no one in particular “why is it that the folks who kicked *** in WWII have to wait in line while those who got their asses kicked don’t?”
I got a round of applause but my wife was mortified.

I’ve only been on one cruise and haven’t experienced that kind of behavior yet. But I hear that it exists particularly on cruises where all the food is included. These pigs ought to be dumped overboard in the middle of the night. I hope this entitled prick runs out of toilet paper!!

Surprising ..cause your icon is Jim Cornett (Wendy's....) Lol
 
I've come to the conclusion that 85% of all people are either an idiot, or an asshole.

There is a very special group who are both.
