26 funny, rude and ridiculous shop names to brighten your day

26 funny, rude and ridiculous shop names that will brighten your day
Pepijn Schmitz/ Flickr<br />Lick-her Shop<br />Funny name for a liquor shop in Sydney.

Make a cuppa, grab a bickie, and prepare to have a good old lol.

Some companies take their business incredibly seriously, while others, well others just like to have a bit of a laugh.

And it’s those businesses, putting humour first, to whom we’d like to doff our communal cap today.

From clever puns, to the rude, crude and lost in translation, these shop names prove that the world of commerce doesn’t have to be dull.

Snoop dog’s pet grooming sideline? Please say it’s so…

Because nothing says ‘hire me to sand down your floor boards’ like a mass-murderer pun

Nothing gets you in the mood for a slap-up meal like the thought of someone p***ing on you (or maybe that’s just us)

Just no.

13 ways to camp at a coffee shop without pissing off your barista

rp_barista-scarlett-gif.gif

Campers are the bedbugs of the coffee shop world. It’s unclear where they came from, you can’t get rid of them, and they make baristas want to scratch out their eyeballs. But a coffee shop lives and dies by regulars, even if they’re glued to MacBooks for eight hours at a time and subsist mainly on house-coffee refills.

Students, freelancers, and hipsters simply need places to hang out, and that’s not going to change anytime soon. What CAN change is the etiquette you practice when turning a public place into your private office. Here’s how to do just that.

Tip!

Goes without saying, but if you’re going to make yourself at home, you’ve gotta pay rent.

Leave a tab open

It lets the barista know that you’ll be there for a while, but that you’re not planning on nursing that cortado for four hours. Also it keeps them from having to repeatedly run your credit card for $2.50.

Don’t ask the baristas to watch your computer

First, it makes them realize that you’ve been there long enough to load your bladder with free water. Second, it makes them feel responsible for you. Third, it makes you look like a paranoid nerd.


Keep an eye on occupancy

If customers are entering the shop, looking around for a seat like lost puppies, then walking out, you’re doing the shop a disservice by clinging to that four-top real estate like it’s Boardwalk for the same amount of time it takes to finish a game of Monopoly.

Be friendly with the baristas, but not too friendly

Your goal is to walk the line between anonymous and obnoxious. You want the baristas to be able to forget about you, but in a good way.

Don’t throw your stuff everywhere

Push the chairs in around you, but don’t throw your bag on the ground. If you must spread out papers, don’t make it look like an IRS cubicle.


Go outside for phone calls

No one wants to listen to your conversation, and since you have one finger in your other ear to drown out the background noise, you’re probably talking REALLY LOUD.

Don’t abuse refill policies

The barista doesn’t care that you’re squeezing a few quarters out of the shop with every refill, but they definitely hate that the policy is enabling your camping.

Wear real clothes

Slippers and sweatpants disrespect the idea that you’re in a public place. If you want to lounge around all day in a Snuggie, do it at home.
