room 101

* 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

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'.

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

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 !

Why, when they have been exposed so often are these pay day loans companies still in existence [and why oh why are they allowed to advertise ].

TV adverts for pay day loans, insurance for over-50s, furniture sales that last all year, motor and accident claims.

Junk mail, litter and officious councils who don't manage rubbish and recycling.

Impatient drivers, especially those who follow about 3 inches from my back bumper when I'm complying with the speed limit...

On TV - Cooking programmes; football; car programmes

In real life - men (usually is!) who park their supermarket trolleys in the middle of an aisle; drivers who don't indicate; middle lane hoggers on motorways; drivers who either go too fast or far too slow; junk mail.

Those men who scatter the sawdust around the 'long drop' loos on Skomer as if they were hamsters. (The ladies do it so delicately)

nb: Us vols have to clear the wasted sawdust up with a dustpan.

Chewing gum

Anyone who spits on the pavement or anywhere else other than a sink (which they should then clean quickly)

People who park in the mother and child spaces at the shops when they have no children with them. Makes me want to punch them!

Ana I thought she said 'ladyboys' too!

People who don't teach their children to use toilets properly and not leave a mess!

Items that are packaged in plastic that you can't open and the same goes for items that are fixed to packaging with tiny little wire twists or plactic clips.

tv cooking

SKY rolling news - no more Kay and Adam on any other channel

Most sport - keep tennis and Six Nations

Grannyknot So glad I'm not alone! I'm getting all agitated just thinking about it...

Joy so do I. It's like a red rag to a bull

Top Gear... Aaaaaargh! Hate it!

All adverts for on line gambling

Neighbours who put their rubbish out days before the actual collection day.

All adverts for online bingo.

Going back to unpleasant neighbours, the 'Thieving B*****d' next door moved last week. I havn't met the new ones yet but we do wonder if we can have them on 6 mths trial !

Not only football, but also the busy TV sports screens, there's so much going on: split screens, commentators, breaking news, columns of results. They should issue one of those "contains flashing images" warnings.

Also "rolling" news, "24/7".

ROOM 101! I feel better already.

Oh yes bad neighbours. Had to move house once because of this and my daughter is having big problems now.

Definitely football and everything else to do with it - especially overpaid footballers.
Unpleasant neighbours.

Football (in fact most sport), snobbery, bad manners and Cilla Black!
