Other people's lives

Does anyone else ever wonder about someone else in their life that they know nothing about but would be rude to ask? // ...........// I'm intrigued about why our barmaid is a barmaid as I don't think it's what she's used to.

[Greenleaves]

Maybe she just likes the social aspect, she might be asking why a lady on her own goes in a pub....if your that intrigued, just ask

[Guest]

I think you should ask and tell her 'she is too posh to work in a pub!' If that doesn't make her laugh and tell you nothing will, but I certainly can't see her taking offence after that line

[bramble]

Maybe she's lonely and likes the company.
Maybe she fell on hard times and needs thr money.
Perhaps if you get talking to her more often you might find the reason.

[Thelma Sanders]

Perhaps she's paying off her credit card

[veggiechicken]

Maybe she's behind the bar wondering why a lady goes to a pub alone and what she is tapping away on her phone! Maybe she thinks you're too posh for that sort of thing

[bearded bloke]

Sorry I don't understand the point of this If you've got a question for someone, ask that person, supposition by others is about as ineffective assumption by others.

[bearded bloke]

she lived on the local sink estate.

Is that a place where peeps do their washing up after every meal/snack ??

You've got piles you can get ointment for that now you know (fairy liquid or some-such)

Sounds rude to me as you're basically saying that nobody with any class would work in a pub when it's a perfectly reasonable job.

^^^^does it not work both sides of the bar? Its only a question. I got asked a lot worse when I was a barmaid

[skeggijon]

Maybe she's an undercover MI5 agent collecting vital information from the witty intelligent conversation in the bar?

Just cos you got asked stuff doesn't mean it wasn't rude and both of these scenarios are people saying stuff to bar staff so basically the same thing. Suppose it's a bit like the old adage that you learn a lot about somebody by the way they treat the waiter (or whatever) if they look down on them and don't treat them with respect then basically they're a rubbish person.

Just found out the meaning of sink estate, what a derogatory term !
