Re: Pet Peeves?
Don't get too smug....my father in law was carded by a bouncer in New Orleans at the ripe old age of 66!
I, however, got in on the basis of "my good fellow, I'm British, we don't 'do' ID's". I thought he accepted the explanation quite well, but wife later suggested an alternative scenario in which I somehow look older than my FiL

What kind of place were you entering in New Orleans that required a bouncer... ?! :P

Re: Pet Peeves?
I was with my inlaws....it wasn't going to be anything too dodgy
Especially as it was the first time I met them, and my MiL-to-be lectured me all the way on the drive over about how the bars were all dens of iniquity that blew drugs through the A/c to get people high. I thought it sounded great, but apparently I missed the point
.
So my first trip down Bourbon St was walking down the middle of the street, and I wasn't allowed to deviate from the center stripe!! I must have sounded like a 4 year old in the candy store, whining to my wife-to-be "please, just one bar" and her replying through clenched teeth "not now - we'll come back later once they're asleep"
Oh, and it was the Irish place that claims to be the origin of the Hurricane...and we were only allowed in there because it has a beer garden where the drugs can't get you..

Re: Pet Peeves?
Dresses which have their care/washing instructions half way up the inside seam.
What kind of dick biscuit thought that was a good idea?
I'm looking at you, New York & Company.
Spending ages sticking my head in the missus dress just to see if it's machine dry-able is not fun or pretty.
Oh and people who say "I watched..."....no, it's "I saw", learn to speak or stop watching things.
It really is a sentence that makes me want to punch you in the throat.
