Libra if I can't open a bottle with a child safety lock on it I get my 10 year old GD to do it for me!
Lots of politicians, and corned beef tins - I'm left handed and can only use certain can openers.

Motorists who drive in middle lane on motorways,
Having a meal only women seem to do this, will want to break down the bill exactly instead of dividing it between the party, if they feel that strongly about ask for separate bill when ordering

Slebs, actors, footballers and singers for starters. Entertainers and sports people who command/are paid obscene amounts of money.

Would be nice if we had excluded the C word from the post.

Room 101 gives you magical powers to undo things!

Jabberwok Tue 19-May-20 16:21:31

Remainers who won't accept that Brexit is done!

Bluecat Tue 19-May-20 16:13:13

Brexit
Spiders
Artichokes

Seems like a rather random list, now that I come to look at it.

Covoid 19 , so called celebraties who nobody knows
Fly tippers and litter louts in general .
Mums and dads who look at their phones when with their ignored children .
Football especially when they take regular programs off for it.

People who pick up their dog poo but then hang the bags on a nearby tree or bush like grotesque Christmas decorations.

Rosina Tue 19-May-20 15:24:25

Oh - and Covid19.

@B9exchange
Like you I hate the way the term room 101 is misused these days.
I was also horrified to find there are people who assume Big Brother is a reference to the TV show.

Chewbacca Tue 19-May-20 15:13:55

Dog owners who lick up the poo and put it in a bag

shock dear God! I've never seen it but, yep, definitely Room 101 for them. Filthy devils!

Cindersdad Tue 19-May-20 15:11:19

People who promoted Brexit without thinking it through first and told lies to deceive the electorate. Especially if they are still at it.

Missiseff Tue 19-May-20 15:09:23

Ignorant people.
People who don't 'get' things
People who leave football matches before the final whistle! WHY??

Tooyoungytobeagrandma Tue 19-May-20 14:58:15

People who pretend they are doing something from the goodness of their hearts but have alterier motives. People who back slap those people and can't see they are fake. People who hurt/abandon or use animals for sport. Narcissistic people who break up families and can see no wrong in what they have done and those daft enough to not see through it. Selfish husbands who only thing of themselves. People who don't pick up their dog poo giving us responsible owners a bad name. People who let their dogs off lead when they have f#£@ all recall so their dog worries my dogs making them more reactive than they already are due to idiot owners with out of control dogs. People who are rude to shop staff. People who assume that any male in a business must be in charge. People who spit in the street (there should be mahoosive fines for that ?), people who constantly blame the pm for a virus that he did not create (I'm not a bojo fan just sick of folks laying blame at one person's door), people who say that they won't order Chinese food ever again because of Covid (bloody idiots), narrow minded people that can't accept that some people love people of the same sex....there are more but I'm getting wound up and am likely to punch my stbxh who I'm stuck with during lockdown, he would be thd first thing to go actually ?

All the covidiots who will undo everything that has so far been achieved by our obeying the rules and, largely, staying at home!

Skweek1 Tue 19-May-20 14:45:41

Repeats of programmes on TV that I wouldn't be seen dead watching the first time round.

allium Tue 19-May-20 14:34:05

All the sanctimonious whiney groups on Facebook.

Wedding present lists, where the giver is treated like a mail order catalogue. I expect I’m going to be alone in this, but if you don’t want a present from someone which isn’t what you would have chosen yourself, which reminds you of them, you shouldn’t expect a present from them at all. If it’s about helping a young couple to set up home, we should be honest about it and give money as they do in some other cultures: otherwise - shock horror - it is possible to set up house without everything matching. When I got married nearly fifty years ago we didn’t have the money to equip our home without help and we did have a wish list - but to actually choose the items I think is an insult to the people giving. I was married nearly fifty years ago, and I still have some of the things we were given, and - this is the important bit - I could tell you who gave us each one. How many other readers can do that?

annep1 Tue 19-May-20 14:32:14

Aepgirl I'm with you there.

My own is a very boring one but it would have to be Sunday opening. Not for religious reasons, but just to have one peaceful quiet day every week. I think we would benefit from that.

Missgran Tue 19-May-20 14:18:57

All of the BBC news correspondents who never miss an opportunity to knock the government I am sure if it was a left wing they would not be so willing to them and a certain person on GMTV also

libra10 Tue 19-May-20 14:15:27

Soup tins which won't stack in cupboards without tumbling over.
Corned beef cans which are almost impossible to open.
Child safety bleach bottles which are difficult to open.
