ROOM 101

Ella46 - I don't think 'sell by' dates are still used, are they?

There are 'use by' dates, and there are 'best before' dates... (after which the food is still edible, but flavour etc. may not be quite as good as before).

Cardboard packaging that won't come undone without a machete. Small brown boxes containing organic salad leaves, and fruit laid in a tray with a fancy perspex cover within another layer of see-through wrapping. Grrrr!

Rush hour traffic on the M60! Get your own road!

People who throw food away as soon as it reaches the sell-by date!

I nominate people ahead of me at the supermarket checkout who watch every item go through before starting to pack and then search every pocket or part of handbag for money or card. My motto is 'think ahead'.
Items for Room 101would include flimsy coat hangers which, like paper clips, cannot seem to lead an independent life. They have to become entangled with others! (A bit like humans really.)

Sales assistants who say 'Sign there for me'. For me? NO.

People who stand chatting in supermarket aisles with their trollies at right angles to the shelves, thus effectively blocking through traffic...... Drivers who fail to acknowledge an act of courtesy..... People who, after a criticism, protest that they were only trying to be helpful.....Colleagues who think it is amusing to send questionable emails on your computer...... That's enough for now

Terry Wogan and Bruce Forsyth ASAP please

Cold callers who start the conversation with 'I'm not selling anything,
.....'
Sales people who say 'see you later' (not if I see them first!)
Dentists who talk through the procedure and then ask you a question when your mouth is full of instruments and drills
People who stop at the top of an escalator for a chat while you pedal furiously on the top step
Drivers who park over 2 spaces in a car park
..........I could go on but it's time for bed

Dentist who say 'this might be a little uncomfortable' and then.......

Fondasharing - Yes! And even worse, grown men and women who still call their father "Daddy"...

Specki yes to the silly girly voices.deedaa Yes to men with trousers hanging half way down their backsides.

I will go to bed and think of some more. night night

How very dare you Ana I never touch the stuff
what really bugs me is that I could have simply taken a photo of the recipe with my mobile, but I was so stressed (dentist...waiting room) I didn't think if that.

People who call their Mum "Mummy" beyond the age of 10 years old and then usually until they are old themselves!!!!!

Nanado - are you sure you've not been on the Sanatogen?

Out of date magazines at dentists with a recipe in it I want to try so am forced to surruptiously tear it out.

Following on Deedah - thick cups the size of soup bowl Costa

Waiting staff in restaurants who say "no problem" argh

The rising inflection at the end of a sentence, the boys with their stupid trousers just about hanging round their hips, and the awful English bucket sized cappuccinos (always called regular!)

And mine would be people who say, 'Good Question' when you ask them something really simple
