Room 101
 

For a long time now I have had an ever-growing list of things which I would happily toss into Room 101 and so I thought I'd open the question up to Accyweb. Yesterday's shopping excursion reminded me of this one:

People who don't shunt their trollies properly into each other in the trolley bays, leaving some poor collection lad to tidy up the mess before they can be wheeled back to the store.

Re: Room 101
 

Ah but if the users tidied them up the collector would have nothing to do and then he'd be out of a job and one more unemployment statistic! :rolleyes:;)

Re: Room 101
 

My deposit in Room 101 would be junk mail, even though I'm registered not to receive it I still get loads

Re: Room 101
 

Defo shunt the idle knobs that leave trolleys in parking spaces, lazy idle sods.:(

Re: Room 101
 

The signs around the town centre that say No Alchohol Zone, waste of space !!

Re: Room 101
 

The signs on the motorway that say 'No street lights on midnight to 5am' I have difficulty reading them in the dark, and in any case, people can see that there's no lights on......and then there's the signs on the motorway that say - Junction 26 - 17miles, 17minutes.

Re: Room 101
 

I have so many things that I would consign to Room 10......people who pick up after their dog then hang the bag full of doo-doo on a tree branch. What's that all about?
I would like to load the stuff into a blunderbuss and shoot them with it.

People who put supermarket baskets back with the handles in the wrong position....so that you have to sort it before you can put your basket back.
Junk Mail..........Junk telephone calls.........charity muggers........people who use their mobile phones on public transport, and speak loudly for a full one hour journey.
People who put their feet on the seats of public transport - and when you point out the signs which ask them not to do this, they glare at you like you are in the wrong.
My list goes on and on.

Re: Room 101
 

Kids that play music out loud on buses.....get your headphones in you annoying little ..........

People who throw litter on the floor.....that really REALLY annoys me, i have been known to go upto people and rollock them about it, or shout very sarcastic comments at them so they get embarrased and usually pick up what they have dropped

Re: Room 101
 

good for you Shaz....we need more people like you!

Re: Room 101
 

Motorway signs which say fog ,just when you have driven through it.

Re: Room 101
 

People who don't acknowledge you when you give way.

Ignorant swine.

I have to agree with everyone of these Margaret.

Re: Room 101
 

Jerks who ignore signs indicating that the empty lane that they are driving in is coming to an end, passing patiently queuing motorists, then expecting to barge in when the like. As my old boss used to say, "it's like weeping through someone's letterbox then ringing the bell to ask how far it went."

Re: Room 101
 

?? Don't think you meant weeping!!:eek::rolleyes:

Re: Room 101
 

More like wazzing!

Re: Room 101
 

I seriously can't think of anything that makes me angry enough to send to room 101.

Studying Zen must be having some effect.

Alone - stress free - experiencing absolute calm :D

Re: Room 101
 

How infuriating that must be :D

Re: Room 101
 

Think yer telling porkies there!!!! What about Less?:hehetable

Re: Room 101
 

I find myself smiling spontaneously at the thought of him:)

Re: Room 101
 

I'm sure your study of Zen helped you through the trying times of the renovations/work on the building where you live.
I suppose it must be good to be able to divorce yourself from the external pressures of what is going on.
If I didn't need to go out and about, then maybe these things I have posted would not irritate me.....I wouldn't know about them....so couldn't care about them.

Re: Room 101
 

The idiots who drive at 50mph in the middle lane of the motorway for miles and miles and despite all the traffic behind, Will not move over to the correct lane.

Re: Room 101
 

Especially when your behind them in an HGV, on a Sunday morning with very little traffic about:mad:

Re: Room 101
 

There was a woman driver ( not that I am calling women drivers) in the middle lane on the M62 at 2 am one morning with no other vehicles in view driving at 45 mph . I over took her and moved back into the LH lane but still she carried on as if it was her right.

Re: Room 101
 

The Maxi's taxi drivers who sit outside my house at 10am blowing their horn to let my wife's carer know they are there.
Then they flick their cigarette butt out of the car window when the carer gets in the car.

Re: Room 101
 

People who don't say "thank you" when you hold a door open for them in shops, public buildings etc. When it happens, I usually say "that's quite alright, don't mention it" in a very loud voice.

Anyone that flys the Union flag upside down. (about half of Accy). It's unforgivable that government employees get it wrong. Maybe the flags should only be sold with instructions?

Re: Room 101
 

Oscar, there are a lot of people who do not know that there is right way and a wrong way about flying the Union Flag.....and maybe this is because we don't fly it enough.

Re: Room 101
 

Why don't you like those? They give you an idea what the traffic is like ahead of you.

Re: Room 101
 

Aah, technology attempts to civilise me but the like-minded see through the veneer of sophisistication anyway.

Re: Room 101
 

but of course! :)

Re: Room 101
 

Ditto

Re: Room 101
 

I find "Ignorant Pig" seems to embarrass em.;):D

Re: Room 101
 

I would like to throw my nephew in there.

Room 101 - YouTube

Re: Room 101
 

Fully in agreement Wyn, also politicians who say one thing and then do the opposite, and let's not forget the mobile phone users who obviously don't need a phone as they talk so loudly or people who block walkways while standing there gossiping.

Re: Room 101
 

people who moan on forums :P

Re: Room 101
 

People who moan about people moaning on forums-that's what they're for.

People who drive BMWs- they all seem to go mad when they're behind the wheel. No other car seems to do that.

People who stand in groups chatting in the middle of a narrow supermarket isle and give you a dirty look when you say 'Excuse me'.

Re: Room 101
 

There are many things i would like to throw into room 101, but after watching England France at Euro 2012 i would like to throw in Franc Ribery only because that would stop me killing the ugly pug faced, cheating, moaning,play acting french git.

Re: Room 101
 

Yeah, he must be the most hated Frenchman since Bonapart.

Re: Room 101
 

Oh and people who mock other peoples lack of geography skills:tongueout

Re: Room 101
 

Yeah, me too - put 'em in and throw away the key.....uh, hang on...!!!??

Re: Room 101
 

I would consign Euro 2012 to room 101......there has been nothing on our TV since it started...yesterday himself was watching the darts too......and the other day the french open. I am thoroughly fed up of it all......and this is before the blasted Olympics start.
I might just put the TV wizzer in room 101 and pray that himself can't find it.
I HATE SPORT what a waste of time, energy and money. Rant over!

Re: Room 101
 

hahaha. Oh well it got me some ++K


Oh here is another supermarket one...

People who crowd around the fresh chicken section in Morrisons on sunday afternoon; they seem to know it is about to get reduced. Chicken sells for quite a low price! And this room101 request is especially for the person that started filling their basket with the chicken(about 8 bags of it before my mate pushed in to grab some). Hey there is other people wanting very reduced price chicken Mr %^$%^#!!!!!

Re: Room 101
 

Hell Margaret take a deep breath annnnd relax:D

Re: Room 101
 

I think men who watch nothing but sports should be thrown into room 101 :)

For me its cricket. grr what a total boring sport, and it doesnt help that i do not understand it :eek:

Re: Room 101
 

and golf

Re: Room 101
 

If we're going down that road - tennis, golf and motor racing, in that order.

Re: Room 101
 

I like ladies tennis...!!!

Re: Room 101
 

You're beyond hope Steve!

Re: Room 101
 

I have taken a lot of deep breaths....but they come out as deep sighs.
I don't watch much TV anyway, but what has been on has irritated the bejasus out of me...especially as the man in my house seems to take it all so blooming seriously....like it is all life and death. For goodness sake - tell me does it really matter?

Re: Room 101
 

Don't forget DARTS....and SNOOKER....odious pursuits.

Re: Room 101
 

Oh yes....and we Wimbledon to look forward to(????) as well.......does anyone know of a cave where the TV reception is non-existent?

Re: Room 101
 

No - I don't mind those - in fact I can tolerate most other sports like foorball cricket and rugby. But people take tennis so seriously especially at Wimbledon, golf is just so long drawn out, and motor racing is so noisy, for a start, and there's far too much money involved. Please don't tell me that's true of most sports, I know, it just seems so much more in your face with the cars.

I wouldn't say I would watch any of the other sports for long, but darts is quite fun on a cold winter's evening at the start of the new year, and I have been known to watch Morecambe v Stanley on the odd occasion.

I haven't mentioned athletics and racing - have been to both dogs and horses and enjoyed them both, and athletics can be quite interesting if you watch a series of heats in any event. And I do enjoy catching the odd glimpse of things like rowing and gymnastics during the olympics - oh and the weightlifting! and the winter olympics too...

So I shall not be glued to the screen for the olympics but maybe it would be better to have the games on the other side of the world then there would only be a highlights package to watch rather than wall to wall coverage!

Re: Room 101
 

Seconded.

Re: Room 101
 

Yer both too soft, just bump em wi yer trolley,they soon move.

Re: Room 101
 

Or move up to them then fart

Re: Room 101
 

Well it is fine if you can break wind at will. I can't......I have to be in a toilet(yes, I know....it is my upbringing......ladies don't trump in public)

Re: Room 101
 

I was trying to think of a way of putting that Margaret...:pain30:

Re: Room 101
 

I had major surgery when I was 39....and this made me rather slow at moving around......I was getting up from the sofa(heading for the loo) and I inadvertently broke wind.....himself said it was the first time in 20 years of marriage that he had heard me do that. I was thoroughly embarassed - he said I was daft.

Re: Room 101
 

Words that sound funny when spoken out loud,
Chutney,
Burglars,
Couscous,
Hummus.

They have to be spoken out loud to appreciate that they sound funny.







Oh, and people who talk to themselves.

Re: Room 101
 

Moths
Camping and campers especially when they try to dress it up as 'glamping' - get a hotel room or stay at home and stop pretending it's fun sleeping on the ground outside, getting wet and filthy and sharing showers and toilets with complete strangers! Are they mad?
Ditto caravanners.
Ramblers in country pubs on Sunday lunchtimes taking over with damp clothes and muddy boots and equally muddy dogs on occasion, steaming the place up.
People who try to preach to poor mortals about healthy lifestyles (anti smoking, drinking, junk food pro mega exercise & marathon running) - have some fun and stop being so uptight or you'll have a heart attack!
Weeds and constantly growing grass in my garden!
Dust
Definitely the supermarket aisle blockers!
Bad manners and ignorant attitudes.
I could go on and on and on.........!

Re: Room 101
 

Drivers that do 40mph in a 60mph area and then continue to do 40mph when it changes to a 30mph area

People who let their dogs into their gardens and leave them barking

Re: Room 101
 

People who keep trotting out the same homilies over and over in the hope that one day someone will agree.

Or print it in the Observer.

Re: Room 101
 

That's a very good one!

Re: Room 101
 

There are some very mean-spirited folks around... what is wrong with people who like to go camping? have you ever thought that it may be the only type of break that some can afford - and is it doing you any harm? I have been camping since I was 11 and still doing it today 50 odd years later.

And as for wet ramblers - would you like to be denied access to a nice warm pub after you got caught in the rain doing a healthy hike? Many hostelries were originally set up to cater for weary travellers and it's good to see them still fulfilling this function today.

Re: Room 101
 

People who dont pick up after their dogs, giving all dog owners a bad name.

Re: Room 101
 

Godbotherers who come a-knocking on your door at 9am on a Sunday morning or who approach you in the street...they always get an abusive mouthful from me.

Re: Room 101
 

People who do pick up after their dogs and put it in a bag but because the bin is full drop it near the bin instead of taking it home. What a job for the poor devils who have to clear it all up!
Also, what happens if, in the dark, you step on a bag which has been well ripened in the sun?

Re: Room 101
 

The council need to empty the bins more often near us as they are always full by wednesday night and they dont get emptied till friday.

Re: Room 101
 

Oh yeh mean like councillors Ken.:rolleyes: Even those i wouldn't put in 101.

Re: Room 101
 

Parents who don't make their kids stand up for elderly people on the bus...that really pee's me off....or people who assume the spare seat next to them on the bus/train is for their shopping, you've not got a chance of using it for your bags when i'm on public transport....fools

Re: Room 101
 

I have a disability bus pass so i tend to sit on the front seats the other sat there was a guy sat there with his bags on the seat next to him, the bus was full so it was stand or make him shift them .............i made him shift them ........he moaned all the way from town about having to put his bags on the floor, when i got off at the medical center i said right you can put your bags back on the seat the look he gave me hehe.

Re: Room 101
 

I hate people that stand chatting right outside a shop door your trying to get out of

Re: Room 101
 

Arn't all women like that:confused::confused::confused::D

Re: Room 101
 

I alleviated that problem Wyn I now have an intercom system so I can abuse GodBotherers without getting out of my chair:D:D

Re: Room 101
 

If we're allowed to include inanimate objects as well as people I should just like to add... vacuum cleaners with push fit plastic hoses and tools that come apart as you are using them. Guess what I've been doing this afternoon?

And don't tell me to get a Dyson - I couldn't live with something that ugly even if I could afford one.

Re: Room 101
 

I can live with anything ugly as long as it does a good job(no fly comments please!)......you could always buy a reconditioned one.

Re: Room 101
 

No not even at a good price could I have something like that in my house - the moment I saw the first one, many years ago, I shuddered to think someone could design something so horrendous.

Re: Room 101
 

Well, I have one......it seems to do a better job than many of the other brands I have used over the years........and my current one is quite a few years old.......so it has been cost effective, given that I got it half price. It is shut under the stairs when not in use...so I don't care if it is ugly.

Re: Room 101
 

I agree that purple and orange are not appealing colours for an appliance.
I bought a new Dyson recently which is ALL WHITE.

Re: Room 101
 

Awww i love my Dyson, mine is purple and yellow, i'd be lost without it now, bought it off Accy flea market about 4/5 years ago, paid £25 (or maybe 20) for it, the only thing thats gone wrong on it in all the time i've had it has been the occasional belt, my own fault for hoovering up things i shouldn't....and it's still sucking just as good as it did when i first got it

Re: Room 101
 

It's not the colour so much Margaret - the first one that came out was grey and yellow, not too bad a combination. I can't put my finger on why I think they are so ugly, I just hate them irrationally I suppose. I really don't like being able to see all the muck they collect as well - sadly, an idea copied by many other manufacturers.

I think if the kid is young they should be sat down but then the parent should stand up

Recently I was in Florida and I gave my seat up for an older woman. She said You must be British an American would never do that. Having said that I had an England shirt on

Re: Room 101
 

Hell these Yanks don't miss a trick do they :D

Re: Room 101
 

Claytoner, if a person has a young child with them then they should put it on their knee, the child SHOULD be made to move, i was brought up to do that as was my son.....it's called teaching children good manners

Sitting on knee is acceptable I agree. To be honest I don't think anyone should stand on a bus it's quite dangerous really. You have to wear a seat belt in a car but can stand holding a bar on a bus

Re: Room 101
 

Sorry Susie, I'm not mean honestly! As for the camping I can understand families with children doing it, likewise caravanners. But people of my age who try to persuade me how wonderful and glamorous it is in the hope I might take it up myself - it's just not going to happen! I would say to them just do your camping and don't try to convert! And please Susie carry on enjoying your camping for as long as you want, even though I can't ever understand why you'd want to when you've a perfectly good home to live in!
Ramblers - no, I haven't really got anything against them either, apart from the fact that they and their equipment and wet clothing seems to take over and speaking from my own experience on several occasions they can be quite rude and bad mannered - I'm not even sure they realise it!

Re: Room 101
 

OK Anne, no need to apologise - I know you were just just letting off steam.
When I met my partner in the long hot summer of 76 we were on an archaeological dig and we lived in a tent for ten weeks. Then we used to go camping most summers but as we got older it was interspersed with nights in hotels - saving up for a few nights meant we could stay in some interesting places such as converted monasteries and grand houses in Spain. Now we have a motorhome which is just like a little house on wheels but doesn't need to be towed like a caravan. So it's not all roughing it!

Re: Room 101
 

The holidays in Spain sound wonderful and something I really want to do myself, I guess we'll just have to differ with regard to the camping and motor home stuff - I really need plumbing, en suites and electricity, just call me a snob!
(My children all reckon that the song 'You're So Vain' was written for me, I presume they're doing it light heartedly when they all burst into song!)

Re: Room 101
 

Also Susie, you sound like you've had a very interesting life to date!

Re: Room 101
 

My experiences of camping were all in Wet Wales, so it really put me off....but my parents loved it and had some wonderful rough and ready cheap holidays on Camp sites in Spain(this was in the late sixties - I was married so I didn't go with them). They could not afford any other type of holiday until much later. We went overland to Spain with them in 1980 and beleive me it was great fun...but we were in apartments...very basic apartments, but they were OK.
13 of us....I have never laughed so much in all my life.

Re: Room 101
 

Anne, you're about ten years younger than me so most probably brought up with more creature comforts. BUT in our motorhome we have electricity, running water and a loo and shower! Plus a full size cooker and a very comfy bed. We went to Italy in it three years ago for three weeks and it was great - actually we didn't do any cooking, ate in restaurants despite the built in cooker.

I started camping with the Girl Guides when I was eleven and I think if you start young you find it fun rather than tedious. And so you get into the habit.

Re: Room 101
 

Camping!!! Caravans/Tents etc, Theres some posh gits on here,:eek: Have slept on benches in graveyards, Shop Doorways, etc,etc, when young............Drink has much to answer for.:D Now i'm owd n soft,yeh can shove it were the sun don't shine.

Re: Room 101
 

I fell asleep on the bench at the side of Balti Stan in Clayton. The bench isn't there now :) yep alcohol has a lot to answer for
