The Awards for "Most Rude", "Most Ill-Mannered" or "Most Likely to be labelled a Slob" go to.......(drum roll please)...
2) The lady that walked out of the toilet cubicle and didnt wash her hands before leaving. On behalf of all guests, we appreciate your concern for cleanliness onboard. 3) The family that may want to invest in some evening classes on "How to use a knife & fork". Why not drag your kids (aged around 8 & 13) out of the dark ages and get them to use some cutlery whilst eating a main meal. Just a thought..... Also you might want to teach your son to close his mouth when he chews to avoid spitting food all over the place! Not a pleasant sight for those sitting at nearby tables. Getting your kids to sit on a chair properly might be a start too! In fact Mrs Wife, you might want to teach all this to your husband as well! 4) The man who got into the packed lift with his wife & kids and thought that we all wanted to be shoved up against his topless sweaty torso as we headed up to dinner. Really appreciate that.....thanks again. 5) Drunken woman in the Two Poets....really appreciate listening to your repetoire of "F" words in full voice whilst we were having a beer. A think the elderly couple who left quickly would also like to thank you for that! Appreciate you enhancing our experience of the Pub! 6) For all the people that I held doors open for, let on the lift before me even though we were first, stood back on the stairways for and let down gangways first....really appreciate the absence of that simple word of "thank you" that must have escaped your vocabulary. Its a simple word which you will find in most languages....any language will do. Next time you lose something you might want to look for your manners at the same time. I'm sure they're lying around somewhere albeit a bit rusty! 7) Special acknowledgement goes to the two female adults that didnt acknowledge with a thank you the young boy who stood back politely to let you down the stairs on the pool deck. Good job with encouraging the younger generation with their manners! 8) I mustn't forget all the people who had holidays much more important than mine and proved the point by jumping the queue for events too numerous to mention. I owe you an apology as I had forgotten that you obviously get preferential treatment just for turning up later than the rest of us. Hats off to you for your manners & patience! It was a pleasure to travel with you. 9) Lest I forget...thanks for all you passengers that really left a good impression about the British. Rather than hold your knife up to an Officer, stare at him and grunt out "Change it"....how about looking into some classes on manners? When did throwing your weight about to all and sundry become a deck sport? 10) To the lady seated in front of us in the Metropolis Theatre at the American Drifters show. May I suggest that if you want to have a conversation with your mother in a loud voice, that you take your sorry a**e elsewhere on ship. Its a big ship, over 100, 000 tonnes...go and find some tonnage elsewhere to discuss your day! That's it ladies & gentlemen for tonights awards. A big round of applause for all our winners! |
