What do you hate? You have the opportunity to put four/ five things you hate into room 101, to get rid of them forever (idea from George Orwell via the BBC ).
We can’t nominate disease, war, famine, poverty and hate. we’ll take those as read, OK?
My nominees are:
• Guys that hawk and spit noisily into the toilet. Yeuch!
• Technology obssessed people who always need the smallest, latest 3G wap-enabled all-singing all-dancing mobile phone. The sort of person who, as soon as they sit down/ stop walking take the damn thing out and look at it and pointlessly press buttons. And they’re always telling you how wonderful it is. I know someone that bought a £200 mobile because, they said, you could drop it off of a 1000-storey building onto concrete and it wouldn’t break. They’re afraid of heights :smack:
• Any dog smaller than a spaniel. I’ve seen rats bigger than some of these things that people believe merit a lead and to be called dogs.
• People who don’t wash their hands in public toilets. It’s bad enough that they’re carrying their own germs around, but they certainly don’t need to leave them on the door handles for me to pick up on my clean hands as I leave.
• Middle lane drivers. People that sit in the middle lane of the motorway and will not move. I’m poodling along the inside lane and I have to (a) undertake them (dangerous and illegal) or move all the way out to the offside lane, and all the way back. Get them off the roads!

[li]Jeffrey Archer[/li][li]‘Easy open’ fruit juice cartons[/li][li]Lunar conspiracists[/li][li]Inferior chocolate, in fact sub-standard foodstuffs generally[/li][li]1337[/li][/ul]
Any dog larger than a spaniel. I’ve seen horses smaller than some of the animals that city folks bring from their cramped little apartments out onto the crowded sidewalks and dare to call pets.

[li]People who use ski-poles, GPS, platypus drinking bags etc. etc. when going for a country stroll.[/li][li]‘Baby on Board’ signs in the rear windows of cars (just as well you told me - I was planning on driving you off the road).[/li][li]People wearing Celtic shirts to Irish international matches.[/li][li]Your man who does the weather on TV3 (Irish channel)[/li][li]Women who have sunglasses welded to their heads regardless of the conditions.

Company Christmas do’s (yeah bah humbug back at ya)
public transport in london - what’s the point of paying to stand with your nose in someone’s armpit or get coughed on or to just get crushed for 45 minutes ? There’s clubs around that cater for that sort of thing
Mangetout I’m with you on the Jeffrey Archer thing - he just doesn’t get this I broke the law thing…:smack:
• People who, when they don’t have a handkerchief or a tissue, blow their noses with neither, and it all just hangs, swaying, in front of them before finally landing on the floor.
• I don’t want all politicians in, only those who are dishonest, corrupt, power-seeking or lazy!
People who won’t move over and let us tailgaters pass.
Signs on the back of vehicles saying “Show Dogs. Do Not Tailgate”
(Are show dogs more worthy of protection than people? I have two show dogs, but I just don’t get this sign.)
Scumbags who are bloodsucking ticks such as,
my crybaby, ass-covering, anal-retentive manager,
and my evil monster ex-husband
Scumbags who are child molesters and abusers
Scumbags who scam old people out of their retirement funds
Scumbags who abuse animals
Oh wait? Is this stuff that deserves Room 101 or stuff that would be in your Room 101. Because people intraveneously injecting is only applicable to the latter. They don’t deserve it.
