Mumble Report post Posted August 7, 2008 **Note - this thread is meant to be fun - it is not meant as an insult to anyone and none should be taken - after all, if Anne Robinson can put the Welsh in on national television, I doubt we can top that :lol:** I've been meaning to start this thread for ages, since I found repeats of Room 101 on Dave. So, based on the TV show, what would you put into Room 101 (i.e. what would you most like to banish forever). I'll start with some of mine: People who stop suddenly when walking on the pavement/in the shop in front of you, forcing you either to bump into them (cue a stare from them, even though they stopped ) or perform an SAS style dive to avoid them. Celery - it is not a food, at best it's useful (frayed) for cleaning drains. Egg sandwiches (or similar smelly foods) on buses/tubes/trains/close proximity to anyone.

pearl Report post Posted August 7, 2008 *rubs hands together with glee* ok, for starters: White Van Men, why oh why oh why is it compulsory for them to tailgate/overtake dangerously? Peeps who slow down when traffic lights on red, stop, leaving a cars length in front of them, then crawl gradually forwards for the next 3 mins Wasps. What is the point of wasps? Washing machines that go all smelly. Why does something that cleans things get dirty? Dust. If there wasnt any dust, I wouldnt have to ignore it. That'll do for now. I'll be back ...

Mumble Report post Posted August 7, 2008 Places of worship that charge an entrance fee :angry: - I would happily give a voluntary contribution but I feel really strongly that it fundamentally goes against the whole belief system that churches etc. represent, to allow only those who can pay (and often quite a lot too) in People who insist on using giant umbrellas on crowded pavements and gouging out several eyeballs in the process.

Flora Report post Posted August 7, 2008 Currants..... they are horrid, especially when you find an unexpected one in a scone. Hangovers, and the person who invented them. People who take pictures with their mobile phone when your not aware of it. Calories: they should be abolished, along with cholesterol, then we could eat anything we want Hangovers should go: then we could wash down all the calorie and colesterol free food with as much wine as we liked.

Mumble Report post Posted August 7, 2008 Stereo-systems for cars that play music to the neighbourhood ... and the surrounding neighbourhoods ... and possibly as far as Australia. Surely they are a safety issue as much as an annoyance, because the drivers won't be able to hear other drivers' horns, bicycle bells, emergency vehicles etc...
