Room 101 - TV Show rules apply!
OK - 5 things to consign to the room and why - and try and avoid the obvious - i.e. 'People who drive like w@nkers' etc!
It's just one of those days! On the bright side - they're about the only things that do make me mad!
- Coat-hangers. Can't even spell it correctly. They truly are the work of Satan. Go on - try and pick just one of them up out of a pile....
- 'Special Hotel Rates' Bollox!! Just means - "we're charging your company less, so we're going to put you in the really sh1tty room!"
- Yoghurt pots. Primed with explosives. Oh they look innocent enough, but just loose concentration for one second when you're opening one and you'll be smelling of Strawberry Surprise for the rest of the day!
- Internet search engines. Used to be fine - but now there is so much advertsing it takes ages to find what you're looking for. I especially loathe those results that pop up making no sense whatsoever! "You searched for w@nking slugs, click here to find w@nking slug designs on T Towels and Nappies." Aaaarrrrgggghhhhhhh
- Erasers in propelling pencils. I have a nice Parker propelling pencil with daisies on (what else). I use it for my work diary so there are lots of rubbings out and I need a new eraser. Are they all a standard size? No, of course not, how bloody obvious would that be? Have I found one yet? No - cos I can't make sense of the internet search engine....
It's just one of those days! On the bright side - they're about the only things that do make me mad!

Ooh good excuse to have a rant
- The Post Office. All Post Offices. Everywhere.
- Cat & dog owners who allow their pets to crap anywhere and everywhere. I pick up my dog's mess, why can't they?
- TV channels who broadcast the adverts at twice the sound of the programmes they rudely interupt and following nicely on...
- Ringtone ads
- Morrisons supermarkets.

1. a Toe - then when I'm cutting my nails I'll know that 9 nails is all I need to look for.
2. Windows Dialogue Boxes that ask you Questions that are ******* obvious then do something else like "Do you want to save your last 4 hours work?" followed by "There's been a problem saving your data - ReBooting - Have a nice day"
3. Tony Blair - He bans too many things that other people enjoy
4. Tossers in the bogs asking you if you want some "toiletries"
5. Instructions that say thing like "Easy Cook" or "Easy to Un-Pack" with drawing that would confuse Einstien (Usually found in the bottom of Ikea Flat Packs). These are clearly the work of satan to allow your wife to call you stupid when the bookshelf looks like it's been in an earthquake.

1. Labour party, and their poor misguided drones/followers.
2. Trade Unions.
3. Any ringtone other than silent vibrate or 'ring ring', but especially the whistling one.
4. People who come round knocking on my door in the evenings who aren't my friends.
5. People in my office who use speakerphones, talk at 10x normal volume on the phone, tap the side of my cube wall as they walk past, or have cockney/essex/kent accents.

1) Speed bumps
2) Speed bumps
3) Did I mention speed bumps.
I drive to a fair number of RTAs, often at fairly high speed - until I get to the road with the speed bumps. Blue flashing lights, sirens, and 20mph over the bumps. I'm sure if you live in an area with lots of them, you are more likely to die waiting for an ambulance when you have your 1st heart attack.

1: People who queue jump at the bar.
2: People who moan they weren't served in turn at the bar, who haven't made up their mind what they want anyway and then have to go and ask all their friends what they want, slowing service down for everyone else.
3: Beer costing more the Optimax per litre
4: Old codgers who drink flat pints of bitter who insist that their drink is topped up (trying to get 1.5 pints into a pint glass why?) therefore slowing down service. (They normally moan they weren't served in turn, which I suspect they were not as the staff avoid them as they don't want to get moaned at for only getting 1.75 pints into a pint glass )
5: Fosters drinkers - why not just drink Tesco Value lager?

1) Ice cream lollies e.g. Cornetto, Magnum. Price goes up and up yet I'm fairly convinced they're getting smaller!
2) People who ask if my Scooby has a dump valve/turbo/nitrous
3) People who spit on the floor. Swallow it, or get to the toilet first!! No jokes about me telling the G/F to do the same please, I've already thought of them!
4) Bed and Breakfast showers with two temperature settings: Hypothermia and Burns unit
5) Baby on board stickers: 1) If I get close enough to read it, I'm not allowing sufficient time to stop, so it's completely pointless and may cause rather than prevent an accident 2) Do you really think people exercise discretion over who they rear end based on the occupants of a car as advertised such a sticker!!!! If so, would anyone mind producing a sticker that says:
"Please tailgate: rear occupants have given up on life anyway"!
OR
"DSS loosers in back of car.....go on, stack it and save the state some money!!"

1. The fact that I live in the Anglia area yet I can't get Anglia news, I have to suffer the doings of North Yorks et al.
2. Dawdlers who insist on travelling at 5mph below the prescribed limit. On ANY road.
3. Blokes who work in suits and think they are above all others.
4. Ageism.

1. Picallili - I have no idea what it is, and absolutely no desire to find out - nothing that revolting can be edible
2. People that go to the "10 items or less" queue at the supermarket, but have more than 10 items (it irritates me so much, I count everyone's basket )
3. People that moan about Call Centres being modern-day sweatshops - they're not, we have air conditioning in all of ours
4. People that tell me my car has a wankel and snigger incessantly about it
5. Sales in clothes shops - aka a rugby match at a jumble sale

1. Companies that advertise job vacancies without showing how much they are paying. What makes you so special I should waste my time and money applying for some thing that might not pay enough?
2. JCL Chelsea fans, get over yourselves,
3. Interfcukingnet Exfckuingplorer - why oh why can't the worlds richest company develop a browser that confirms to standards and guidelines. IE is single handedly delaying web-design and development by at least 4 years. Tossers.
4. The BBC, you are self sufficient now and don't need the license fee. If you want to keep the fee then stop selling and profiting from selling us DVD's and cut the adverts off UKTV. At the very least you could let students off the license fee. Also if you stopped spunking your budgets on high salaries and low quality you wouldn't need so much from the fee.
5. People who whinge on forums - oh wait
