ice skating
i work at an ice rink as a steward/skate hire and many things the general public do really piss me off.

grown adults not knowing their own shoe size

laughing when they forget to hand me their shoes

taking one look at the skates and asking for a different size without trying them on

complaining that they dont look nice

not tying their laces and then wandering why they keep falling over

people who think they can skate when they clearly cant

people who skate fast but cant stop

people who continue to brek rules after i have told them to stop doing something

small children getting in the way and skating the wrong way

parents of said small children complaining that the good skaters are going to fast and scaring/knockin people over

people who deliberatley put holes in the ice which i then have to fill in

chavs who think they are hard when they are about 5 feet tall

chavs turning up drunk expecting to be allowed on the ice

apart from all these i actually like my job
