Just passing by and thought I'd chuck in some of DH's relatives who have upset him today.
(And if I can get hold of that Angry Bird advert, that's going in as well)

The door's open - feel free to chuck in anything you like.

People who hear about my CFS/Fybromyalgia and think I'm 'a bit tired' or even worse, a lazy fecker.

Tronkmanton · 16/07/2019 20:28

OP I’m with you- the whole lot of my DH’s family can join your DH’s family in there!!

My awful neighbours

The twat that was smoking at the side of me in the bus stop this morning while pretending she couldn't hear me ask her to move to where everyone else was stood smoking

Flies - fed up of chasing them around the house

Acne AND grey hair.

i should have one or the other, preferably with a good few years between them. Not a bloody crossover. They can both do one.

Another vote for people who call "remainers" "remoaners".
With an extra hard shove because they seem to think they're so original and witty.
Also, Donald Trump. With an even harder shove.

That song/record C'mon Eileen (Dexy's Midnight Runners)

Oh god, yes. Let's push it right to the back and bury it under D.Trump, so it can never get out again. I hate that thing (not that keen on D.Trump, either).

ZeldaPrincessOfHyrule · 16/07/2019 21:02

People who stop their cars to let us cross. 'Scuse me, but I'm trying to teach my kids to cross the road and you waving at me to walk in front of your ton of metal doesn't stop the other cars hurtling in the other direction anyway JUST DRIVE FFS

misscockerspaniel · 16/07/2019 21:07

I drive a vehicle that bleeps and says vehicle reversing. It is like a magnet. So I want to put into Room 101 people who walk behind vehicles when it is bloody obvious the vehicle is reversing.

The self righteous preachy vegans (not the ones who don't try to force their ideals onto you, just the ones who do), in fact, anyone who tries to force their ideals onto you, not just about veganism but any subject.

Those tiny 3mm long tiny, black, tiny flies. I venture a few feet into the garden and I am covered in them but they are so tiny they are hard to get rid of. They have always been around this time of year but they seem to be much more prevalent this year.

Self Service tills in Supermarkets, they need so much intervention from Staff because "I'm sorry I do not recognise that item" and "unexpected item in the bagging area". Woe betide you if you bring your own bag cos they don't really like that even if you touch the button saying you bought your own.
My local Sainsburys does not recognise its own shopping bags, it needs "approval" every time!

TroubleWithNargles · 16/07/2019 21:32

Yes! "Unexpected item in the bagging area"...

It's a bag, you useless electronic piece of junk.

Come on Eileen is one of my guilty pleasure songs Blush

HazelBite · 16/07/2019 21:41

@ChihuahuaMummy1 I will permit you to have it as a guilty pleasure (mine is Justin Timberlakes Can't stop the feeling) but do not inflict it on the rest of us.
(At a wedding reception recently someone requested it, and the dancefloor cleared straight away)

ChihuahuaMummy1 · 16/07/2019 21:44

@HazelBite is Gloria by laura brannigan acceptable? Love them both

PerpendicularVincent · 16/07/2019 22:05

Also any songs by whiny men whining about how terrible things are.

Comedy that isn't funny yes you, Andy Parsons.

Generic answers on MN threads like 'keep your beak out'.

Can it be Aircraft Hanger 101?

HeyMicky · 16/07/2019 22:09

People who run in the office. There is NO NEED.

Semolina. Gritty little bastard.

Smelly people on the train.

Whylurkwhenicanjoinin · 16/07/2019 22:12

All the girls at work that look identical to each other with their orange tans, botox, tattoos, black drawn-on eyebrows, duck lips so full of collegen they look like shelves side on. What are they thinking!

RightMover · 16/07/2019 22:12

The lovely young lady, approximately 16 years old at a guess, who watched her dog have a massive steaming shite next to the play area today and walked away. When I offered her a poo bag to pick it up she told me to fuck off, just lovely. So she can get right in room 101 and I hope she stands in dog poo on the way in 😡

Ahh I feel better for that!

Teething.

The dribble that teething brings.

The sleepless nights that teething brings.

TroysMammy · 16/07/2019 22:20

Restless legs.
Getting up for a pee at night.

People who don't realise the Room 101 is from '1984' and is a torture chamber that houses your greatest fear and NOT just things that you don't like.

Fair point and Winston didn't like the rats at all.
But surely you can give a light hearted thread a little leeway and pretend that eoon
