I don't think we've done this, if we have it's a while ago.

What would you put in room 101 ?
I've got my engine running for a quick get away when I say.....F1!

JoyBloggs - you reminded me of when a friend had been followed very closely for some time by a young man in a car. She stopped in a narrow one-way street, opened her boot up and then went to ask him if he wanted to check it was empty and had nothing in he could possibly want. She then told his female friend to find another boyfriend to drive her around if she wanted to stay alive. I've always wanted that sort of courage !

"Contact us" buttons on websites. When you do "contact them" they never bother to respond so why have them?

Aka/Ana, I also thought she kept saying 'in atrocious colours' I found out she actually says 'a choice of colours'. She can go in but so can soooooo much more I can't begin to write them all down, but I must put in anyone who says 'bored of' instead of 'bored with'.

* Drivers who pull out from a side junction when it really isn't very safe and then crawl along in front below the speed limit.
* Groups of people who walk abreast the pavement and expect me to walk in the road. I now stand still so they have to dodge round me!
* Nuisance phone calls

tiggypiro grin Lovely story, very tempted, but I doubt I'd be brave enough!

Wasteful packaging. Anything from pre-packed apples to mens shirts with all that celophane etc. Apples should always be sold loose, and men's shirts should be sold on hangers. Etc. etc...

All Irish Nuns and Priests who are still alive and who were involved in the baby selling horror in the 50s and 60s.

Glad it's not just me thinks that then ...

Ana Wed 26-Mar-14 16:53:58

Do you know number's husband then, BeeWitch? grin

GrandmaSandra Wed 26-Mar-14 16:55:57

Also, soliciitors, estaate agents and anyone else involved in the house buying/selling business, particularly sellers who don't bother to clean anything before moving out!

Corned beef tin keys that snap off half way around ....

It varies - but today it's MiL and her facebooking! DBH's cousin puts some very funny parenting posts on facebook, and she takes them all seriously and criticises him, she has no sense of humour and he is going to be very upset when he sees her latest offering...

KatyK Wed 26-Mar-14 17:03:22

Speaking of Facebook - I would put Facebook in. Definitely.

I would like to see ex sports professionals banned as pundits from radio and television?

People who sneeze over you and/or cough in your face.

All Belgian bureaucracy(it's a nightmare), people who park in disabled bays who are not and refuse to move when you show them your blue card.
Shop assistants who just carry on their own conversations and leave you waiting ages.
French waiters.

Stress.

bikergran Wed 26-Mar-14 18:20:43

yes deff facebook....it must have caused more family/relationship breakups than we could think of.

Joelsnan Wed 26-Mar-14 18:30:21

Political correctness

KatyK Wed 26-Mar-14 18:43:43

biker - I totally agree. I can see Facebook's advantages for some folks who are apart but it has caused a lot of problems in my family. I keep off it.
