    I was not sure where to put this Post, here or on the Humour page.:D Yesterday I was not sure if I was Frustrated or Stressed, so I invented this word for the occasion. I was let out in the Daylight hours on my own, I ventured to Lee Plaza, many of you will remember that I am usually only invited there when new ladies clothes stocks are available, Anyway, I wanted to have a look for something without hindrance from my lovely ladies. My monsters exam was cancelled (Paper failed to arrive, now there is a surprise) so I arranged to meet my monster at lunchtime, I got there about 11am and was way to early so I decided to have a coffee, Now I am normally parked at a table in the coffee shop and my coffee appears so I am a little unsure of the procedure. I go to the coffee preparation area and ask for an Irish Cream Coffee, There were quite a few tables spare, the lad serving writes it down and tells me I have to pay first, OK, out comes the 40p and I try to pay, he tells me no Sir, over there, pointing to the till by the exit. OH! I say OK, So as I turn to go to the Till, the bake shop area is now teaming with people as the new Batch of bread and Rolls has been turned out. The queue is now maybe 15 people long, (Being a Brit I am used to falling in line) 20 mins later I get to the till, I pay, get my OR and am told to return to the coffee prep area, Now full of People ordering, 7/8 Min's later I get to the lad and hand him the OR (Which he kept?) He asked where I will be sat, Ha Ha Ha :( When I turn around to see where I will go, It is totally packed, not a seat anywhere. he tells me just stand a while and he will see me above all the others anyway, 9 mins later, I get my coffee, My monster had arrived, found a place and asked If I would like to join her and her 3 classmates at THEIR table. So 45 mins 150p lighter (Monster & Mateys Goodies) I eventually get what I thought, would be a fairly simple midmorning COFFEE!

    so I was "FRUSTRESSED"

    Is this the norm for Lee Plaza Coffee area or am the unlucky man that never took notice before.:wink:

    JP, I thought we left all of that back in the previous country. Maybe not.
    Me (us) use a coffee shop (Bo's) that is never crowded because it is right across the street from the mall and a Jolly Bee's and 500 meters from a McDonalds.
    We usually Find Bo's 50% full or less.
    I think you need to look around for another coffee shop my friend. That kind of frustration we don't need.
    P.S. May I also use your new word if and when needed?

    haha ... I got a good laugh out of that.
    I could recommend you a morning coffee-place with free refill and endless wisdom with daily advices how others should live their lives . One week there and you are not frustessed but wisdomized. I might send you that secret spot as a PM :wink:

    Glad I made a few smile!

    @ Rhoody, as long as it is not the Foreigners Embassy, I will gladly give it a try:wink:

    @ Ron! Bo's is good, Sans Rival too, Our JollieB's don't do Coffee (we have 4) Dunkin Donuts is a like of mine (we have 2) BUT NEVER! at the McD's, the Foreigner Embassy here in DGTE. Lee Plaza is a Department Store, the coffee shop is within the on Site Bakery, Normally I would go to a normal (if that is the right word) Coffee Shop (we have a few good ones) But as I was meeting my daughter I was to a degree a captive Audience :o Any way, I will be a little more prepared next time I am allowed out on my own :D

    Have a Good Smile or laugh on me guys and Girls,


    Jack P.:smile::smile::smile:

    hey, let's go there together, walking in through one door, looking around, start laughing and walking out of the other door to have a coffee somewhere :D we just need to take care that the ambassador doesn't catch us and keep us trapped to listen to all his glory...

    well, we might not get wisdomized but nothing against a good laugh ...

    Sorry Jack had to laugh at your Frustressed situation. My only question is--- was the coffee a nervarator when you finally got to drink it?
