Room 101

joanlawson

What 3 things would you put in Room 101 :?: ( apart from arthritis, which is already in there )

These are mine:

1. People who stand chatting in supermarkets. They block the aisles with their trolleys, and force you to say, ''Excuse me'' to get them to move out of the way. They always stand right next to the thing you want and seem oblivious to other people.

2. Snobs, name-droppers, and people who think they are superior to others because of their wealth and/or education.

3. Backhanded compliments
eg. someone looking at a painting I've just done said, ''That's very good...... is it your original work, or did you copy it?''
Or '' I like your new cardigan. It looks so cosy''
''I like your house...it's so lived-in''.

Misscreant

Mine would be....

1. Sheffied council. Guess where I live.

2. People talking on mobile phones oblivious to all other people.

3. smug people who have no pain despite being the same sort of age as me.

4. The fact that we can only choose three things.

frogmorton

Oh Joan.....l am a supermarket chatterer :oops: but l do move if l see anyone wanting something l am in the way of l promise

1. telephone answers services which say.....press 1. for such and such 2. for something else..... :x

2. people you have to tread on eggshells with :roll: who almost seem out for a fight

3. not understanding technology :oops:

First off, an apology Joan. I'm the one in the supermarket chatting away to Frogmorton. I actually like the way supermarkets have become the new market places. Everyone chats in ours but moves readily for other people. Though sometimes one can get chatting to the people one's moving for! I have to say that, knowing I'm likely to get waylaid at least once, I don't do the supermarket unless I'm sure my joints are up for it.

Please can it be four (I'm very intolerant.)

1. People - usually male people - who spit or snort snot onto the ground. (I realise this will mean the end of professional football.)

2. People who ask how you are in order to tell you how they are. (It's never, simply, 'good'. They are always suffering. As are you by the end of it.)

3. Bombproof packaging. (A drain on A&E resources.)

4. Thresholds. (They rise up like mountains exactly where you need to place your wonky foot to get your wonky body into/out of the house.)

people sarcastic..

people noisy

people who don't like animals

and people who is just down right rude.

valval

1. things that are now not made to repaire (washers,tellys etc)
2.people who feel the need to drop others in it just to make them selves feel big.
3.dust it keeps coming back such a pain

stickywicket

Oooh Val, how could I forget the dust? I've been chasing it all morning, redistributing it with my feather duster. Yes, please. make it a priority.

joanlawson

Please feel free to add more than 3 things to go into Room 101 if you wish ( otherwise you'll be putting me in too for restricting you :shock: )

Re. the people who block the aisles in supermarkets: I've no objection to them chatting if they show some manners and move aside, but it annoys me if they don't. The branch of T***o near to me has fairly narrow aisles as it was built years ago by another supermarket chain.

tkachev

Trick and treat.

would be no.1.



People who hide what they want to say behind cryptic writing. Why not just be brave and say what you think?

can't think of a 3rd one yet!
The Daily Mail might be going into room 101 after some of th rubbish I've seen printed.

A 4th would be ATOS!!!!!

Mini Roundabouts instead of the Daily Mail seeing as Bel Mooney is very sweet. If 3 cars all meet at once then it pandamonium. I seem to remember a learner driver got stuck on top of a mini roundabout.

Housework....It's such a thankless task, and no-one ever notices until you don't do it.
I've found a new sign to put up in my house

MY HOUSE WAS CLEAN LAST WEEK- SORRY YOU MISSED IT

People who drive to close behind me.

Somebody parking in my space which is clearly marked number 17.

You are welcome to join me in the land of bright colours and happiness! Rainbows in abundance and big fat apples growing on the trees.

By the way chuck those parent memories into room 101.

Lucy has a My little pony story once a week.

My Room 101 contenders would include:

Drivers who fail to use those little flashing orange lights that come with every car, the lights that hint to other road users what might be happening in the near future.

Drivers who fail to cancel the flashing orange light once a maneouvre has been completed: they indicate left for about three miles then suddenly the right one flashes once and they turn left.

Skinny young men with their teeny skinny spotty bums hanging out of their jeans - the bums are bad enough but the appalling underwear? I don't need to see greying boxers or multi-coloured frights. Be brave boys - no pants is a far better look. And will guarantee hilarity if the jeans actually fall down.

Rats.

Commercial radio and TV stations. The ads drive me nuts (apart from the Wonga trailers with the three old folk as I think I know who they are).

People who use text-speak in a formal writing setting.

DD wanders off, warbling 'These are a few of my least favourite things . . . '

Ofsted inspectors in schools.

My daughter has just been informed that the dreaded Ofsted inspectors are coming to her school on Wednesday and Thursday this week, so she's somewhat stressed. She's a brilliant teacher in my opinion, so has nothing to fear.

Put the lot in Room 101, I say :!:

stickywicket

Tiny, slow lifts in which you know the other occupants intimately by the time you arrive at your destination.

I was in one today with a tall woman and a short one with a stick. Just after I began to wonder if this creaky museum piece would make it to the 4th floor, I realised that, if it didn't, we'd all have to stand until they got us out as there was no room to sit on the floor.

joanlawson

People who come back late to their seats in the theatre after the interval. It causes a commotion, and it's so rude.Three large ladies trampled all over me tonight, and one of them stood very heavily on my foot :roll: I was not a happy bunny :shock:

Oh Joan please can I put T hospital in it.... Its big but useless xx
