Yes, Phil I know all about the naughty chair. BUT.........why does she get away with the stuff that she does? Why are we always the bad guys and she is not? How can she be allowed to humiliate people, make rude and obnixious and insensitive comments and not get in trouble for them. Why is she allowed to post incorrect and inaccurate information and get people's blood boiling?

LauraS told me that "she just doesn't understand why people post the way they do". BS............is all I have to say. It is very difficult to ignore her when she directs her comments in the way that she does. If she would just reread what she has typed before hitting the reply button...........maybe everyone could get along with her.

OK......... off my

I hear you Patti. Believe me, I hear you. I've tried to analyse why she's still there and I have trouble working it out too.

Sheila, I haven't been to Ayr or the Ayrshire coast, but I know the area around Edinburgh and also Perth/Blairgowrie and I love it up there. My friends live in Harbeson.

Phil,

I just noticed your location, that's priceless. Wonder what they would do if everyone on CC did that. Can you do that?

d

Phil, did you happen to catch this post of her's on a tipping thread?



"Actually I wish RCCL would just add it to the cruise fare & give us
all a break on more money onboard. Europeans do not tip but if it is add they
will."



The responses were not pretty.........and they were eventually deleted. I have them all in my special little file!!

I'd be willing to bet that she doesn't tip at all and further more if you go out with them you'd be the one picking up the tab.

You are welcome. I just couldn't help myself.

I just got off the phone with my DS and they got hammered last night and expect more tonight. They went into the bathroom with the baby because the tornado sirens were going off. I want to jump on a plane and bring her back here with me. My DIL is from Oklahoma so she's used to it but Steve never had to deal with it so it scares him some. And to think that woman would accuse those poor people of sending it too her. Patti if it weren't for the fact that you and LJ are there and other innocent people, I'd wish it on her. Enough of that. I won't lose my religion over her.

Patti, I missed that one about the tipping. Now that I would most certainly have posted to and let her have it. She's the High Priestess of the "Something for Nothing Brigade" so I'm surprised she bothers about what others do for tipping, what with her -0- bill at the end. She posted once that instead of paying for mixers she'd go down to the buffet and carry a tray of juices back to her cabin (you know, the home away from home 200 sq ft balcony 9201 AFT cabin. The one with the puke on the balcony) and put them in her fridge for her party of "friends" when they came round. I can just see her toddling up the stairs with a big grin on her face as she scores another FREEBIE. Jeeze!

Phil

You think she and Laura are related somehow


Maybe CCC has pictures of Laura doing wierd things !



I just thinking out loud here stop me anytime.

d

Just to show that I do talk about other things apart from you know who, I hope that those of you dealing with the weather stay safe. I've got some friends who live near Chicago and around them got hit pretty hard yesterday. Take it easy!

I used to work with a guy just like that I say used to cause they fired both him and his wife. I went out to lunch with them once. They complained about everything: the iced tea was to weak, the salsa was hot, the chips weren't hot enough, didn't get their food fast enough their goal where ever they went to eat was to get it for free or to at least get a discount. It was embarassing. It was the same guy who when we went for a team lunch: we had no sooner sat down said oh look who is here and you looked up and it was his wife he told her where we were going and told her to meet us there. It was shameless.

Phil.......just for you!!!!

She said.....

"Actually I wish RCCL would just add it to the cruise fare & give us
all a break on more money onboard. Europeans do not tip but if it is add they
will."

To which the replies were..........

"I always tip good service whether on a ship, in a restaurant, at a bar or a
hotel. I believe good service should always be rewarded. I think you are very
unfair to say that "Europeans do not tip." I do prepay my cruise tips
but always give more for good service."

"I think we in Europe should get an apology Macop"

To which she responded back with...

"That is RCCL as many there have stated that other countries from the USA do not tip such as the Europeans. So I am passing their quote."


To which more replied with.............

"I don't understand your response. What does 'passing their quote' mean?
You made an unfair statement, why don't you own up to it?"

"what you actually said is not a quote and I quote "Actually I wish
RCCL would just add it to the cruise fare & give us all a break on more
money onboard. Europeans do not tip but if it is add they will." "

"I think you should be ashamed of yourself being a retired policewoman as well, it is very ignorant and small minded and you should know better. In fact it makes me glad that I am not travelling with you on AOS Oct 12-26 2008"

"which countries are you including in your statement "Europeans do not tip"??? I am from the UK and last time I checked the UK is part of Europe,
I don't think you can generalise like that!! I think You will find that in
every country there are people who will tip and some that do not "

"We always pay our tips we have cruised a few times and and given extra for good service including the dining room bar steward. We have another cruise booked for October and have prepaid the gratuities (which gets paid on our final invoice, therefore being paid before we have even cruised, therefore making it easier to add extra where exceptional service has been given!!"

"Where is the apology MACOP???"

"As a Scotswoman living in the USA I am insulted that all we Europeans have just been painted with the same brush
by this poster. I agree with all the comments that have been made with regards to the insult."

"I think we have more chance of RCCL giving us a FREE cruise than MACOP giving a apology. I don't think she understands the meaning of the word SORRY "

"Also MACOP please continue to list your future cruises so that we know which ones to keep away from."

"What a demeaning, misguided piece of garbage. How dare you make such an inflammatory statement."


Quote: as many there have stated that other countries from
the USA do not tip such as the Europeans. So I am passing their quote.

"Does this make sense to any one? Obviously MACOP, your comprehension of the English language is about as good as your knowledge of the tipping habits of other nationalities." APOLOGY PLEASE."

[color:1330=red:1330]"MACOP....you have single handedly...or single mindedly managed to insult an entire continent...as well as the many lovely europeans who now call the US their home. Unfortunately we Americans are not always well thought and comments like yours don't help at all. Please refrain from insulting our fellow cruisers and read what you have written before you hit the Submit button."
