Room 101

I'm guessing this has been done before but can't find an obvious thread so thought I'd start one!
What would you put in room 101? For me, it would be perfume ads, especially the one with Natalie Portman and people who are turning right at a junction but don't get far enough river to the middle of the road which stops people behind them from being able to turn left. Drives me mad every time that happens!! I'm sure there are others but I they're my main two at the moment!

People who think "the ick" is an appropriate phrase for anyone over the age of 10.

@BrigitteBond I do understand how it works but it's not for stuff that's generally annoying yo everyone e.g people that hold up queues it's things like pp have mentioned'musicals, cyclists, gravy' Things that others could argue that they love. That's my point

@jumpinsback Room 101 is where you’ll find your worst nightmare/deepest fear - in the original 1984 it’s rats. Which lots of other people hate too I’m guessing, so your understanding isn’t quite right.Confused

Yes but it's about persuading others to consign something to history for ever so many would argue that rats are beautiful and intelligent creatures. It would be a pretty one sided argument if all the requests were 'rude people, people talking loudly on phones etc etc' Nobody would argue to keep those things...

Sorry that was for @PuppyMonkey

You don't put anything in Room 101. It contains your biggest fear which the authorities already know.

Quite. This is what I came on the thread to say. The TV programme, although quite funny, annoyed me for that reason.
