Genuinely had an amazing holiday but need to vent about a few small niggles. I really don't know if I'm being unreasonable about any of these.
AIBU to feel a bit sick about how much food is wasted at buffets? We were half-board so had a morning and evening buffet. Each time, i saw adults and children alike walking back to their tables with several filled plates and then half of it was left on the table and taken away by the waiting staff when the people got up to go and get something else. Why? It certainly wasn't an issue that food may run out - nothing was ever allowed to look half empty before the chefs refilled the counters. Why not just take a small amount of something - particularly if it's a new food you're wanting to try/don't know if you like - then go back up for more if you want it?
AIBU to think 'personal space' is not a concept adopted by most people? We left a decent space (enough room to fit another adult) between us and the people in front while queuing up for things. Whereas the people behind us were pressed right against us. Whenever I moved even an inch, they moved right with me! Why?
AIBU to be annoyed at people who think they can jump queues to be with their family/friends near the front? I don't mind so much if it's one person holding a space for a few friends and definitely don't mind if it's one part of a couple while the other leaves the line to take a child to the toilet etc. What annoyed me was when it was maybe a group of three or four near the front and another group of three or tried to squeeze by a long queue to get to them. Why do they all need to queue together? (theme park). Particularly when the ride only permits 2/3 people to sit together at a time. And if they were so insistent on riding together, why didn't the group near the front fall back to queue with the ones nearer the end of the line?
AIBU to think the price of drinks in theme parks is disgusting? What other choice do you have though? It was 3.60 euro for a small bottle of juice/water. You weren't allowed to take your own in (these were removed at bag check before entering) but could take an empty water bottle. The queue for the water fountains was always about 20 minutes and the water was very warm. The only way to get a nice, cold drink in the 35 degree heat was to buy it in there at their extortionate prices.
That's it (I think!). As i said, we loved our holidays. If not for these tiny issues, it would have been perfect!
