Room 101

I'd like to put people who hijack threads into Room 101

OK, first up....
I must admit, I've never seen people parking in electric car spaces. At all. Ever. I mean no-one, not even electric car owners! I know they're out there, I've seen the cars, but never seen anyone charging one. Saying that, I get annoyed at anyone parking anywhere they're not supposed to; charging points, mother and baby spaces, disabled parking bays, outside the front of my house etc. so that's definitely going into Room 101


Now, young Balders....
*rubs bridge of nose with finger and thumb*
Balders, Balders, Balders.........
When will you learn that women do these things to remain the mysterious and enigmatic creatures that we know and love. More to the point, they've got a bloody answer for everything - one which always turns the focus onto what weak, pathetic specimens us men are Why have they got handbags? Because a man once asked a woman if she would put his keys in her bag. It's certainly not because they feel the need to carry half the house around with them (including three tonne of paper hankies. So, so many hankies!). Also, those receptacles have to have a designer's name on them, because... well, y'know, £300+ for something in which to carry your keys around is normal, isn't it?
If I put women's handbags into Room 101, I'd have to carry my own keys - and that would totally ruin the line of my suit, so...

Hmmm, seems a perfectly normal thing to do. After all, people get rid of other bodily fluids in public all the time, don't they? Not a day goes by where I don't see a fella unzip, get the old boy out, piss on the pavement and say "get out and walk, yer bastard" or a young lady casually squirts love juice out of a car window, caring not a jot for wind direction or passers-by.

Oh wait. That doesn't happen, does it?

Why, then, do people think that public - and, quite often, loudly announced - expectoration is acceptable? It can carry all sorts of diseases, such as TB and MRSA.
Ych y fi. Into Room 101 it goes

People who fill up at a petrol station and then go do their weekly shop before paying at the kiosk.
15 bloody minutes I was waiting this morning. If you've got that much stuff to buy go to the fecking supermarkets, and why do petrol stations even sell more than petrol, papers, fags, drinks and snacks. Throw the lot into Room 101 please

That's my wife you're talking about You're right though - if I go to the petrol station I expect to be able to buy petrol, fags, last-minute anniversary flowers and er, barbecue coals
Not only do they sell half the stock of Fortnum & Mason's, but the weird specials that they do as well - I can see why they offer bluetooth headsets, for example but a cinema-style lightbox? Seriously, WTAF?
The problem is if I put this into Room 101, it would involve putting Lisa in too. That means, for me, there'd be no more sitting in the car, thinking "where the feck is she? She's been in there 20 minutes and she's taken the keys with her, leaving the wind and stench of petrol blowing in through her open window and no bloody radio to listen to while I wait!"

I think I've just convinced myself - into the Room it goes!

You know in America where someone comes to you, fills up your car, takes your money and you drive away?
I would happily pay a small premium to get that service...... *starts dreaming if a new business venture*....... If I charge £1 per customer by the end of the week I could be a millionaire

I'm guessing you haven't done a productivity study (0.6 seconds per customer, working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in case you're interested )

OK, here are two that drive me nuts (and be fair, it’s a short drive); I suspect the reason for both is I’m a snob about language, and because I’m a writer:

1/ People who always confuse “I don’t like it” with “it is bad”. Sometimes, sure, something is both. But in the main, someone ‘not liking something’ just means it’s not to their taste, not that ‘it’ - whatever ‘it’ is - is objectively ‘bad’.

2/ People who conflate “not liking” something with “actively disliking” it. There’s lots of things I don’t like, as in I don’t overtly enjoy watching or doing; there’s also stuff I actively dislike, that I would prefer did not exist. (To use an example elsewhere in the site: I don’t like, don’t enjoy, tv soap operas, whereas I actively dislike, loathe in fact, so-called ‘reality tv’.)

None of which means that you shouldn’t stick anything into Room 101; anything can go in, if you dislike it, if you don’t like it, if it’s a bad habit, just for shits and giggles.

——————————————————————

(This list originally had six items in it but I cut the final four before hitting ‘post reply’ because even to me, they were esoteric and purely me screaming into the void: ‘WHY do people use the wrong words?!?!? WHY?!?!?!’)
