Don't know if anyone has read George Orwell's fantastic, scary book "1984", but there was a place in it called "Room 101" where all nasty things go.
Also, in the last few years, the BBC made a comedy programme around the same issue.
Now, we all have our petty little annoyances. Without these "things", our day would be much better.
Let's keep this light. We all (hopefully) hate things like racism, bigotry etc etc. But I wanted this to be fun, and don't want it to become a hot political potato.
SO, WHAT WOULD YOU PUT IN ROOM 101?

I'd put slow walking people in there. Not those that have genuine reasons for it. Just those who are so away with the fairies... that they don't have a clue what's going on around them.
Great thread Jackie. What would YOU put in there?

Olives.
I have tried them, several times. I will not say I hate something until I have tried it a few times. But NO. I cannot abide them. I have to spit them out. There is no other food substance that brings that feeling.
People who say they don't like the taste of something when they have never tasted it. Or people who won't try any new food.
Look, how do you know if you haven't tried it? I once did a BBQ and spent the best part of a day and a half marinading meat, preparing etc. A few people who came wouldn't even try a bite. They brought their own plain pork chop with no seasoning whatsoever. Needless to say, they weren't invited to dinner.
Maggots
I'm not squemish, I'm not really afraid of spiders unless they crawl up my leg or something. But maggots.....wrong, wrong, wrong. Ewwww.
They're more, but I have to check on my spuds.

I was typing whilst you posted. Yes, I agree with the slow walking. I don't mind people on holiday having a slow walk....just don't take up the ENTIRE pavement!! |

Big Brother
OMG! The first series was good-ish. Never really seen it since. Hate it. People who just want to be famous and C4 deliberatley put in people who personalities will clash for TV ratings, such as a homophobe with a gay man. Plus it's on for 6 months and is on 24/7 on E4. Get it off. Worst programme in the world.

I was about to put in about children on planes/parents who let their children play on the suitcase carosel/screaming kids........................so I just thought I'd round it off to CHILDREN!!   Don't like 'em, don't want 'em. And am sick of people asking why I haven't. They can be amusing for 5 minutes, even cute. |

When I was over in Jan I popped into a little Spanish bar that Josie had told me about. The Spanish barmaid brought out a plate of Olives for me and even though I don't like them I thought it would be rude not to try at least one.  How I never hurled all over the table I still don't know urggh it's making me heave just typing this. |
