Room 101

[Orwellian69]

Society has clearly failed to remove enough nonsense from daily life, so we're just going to have to do it ourselves.

Something annoyed you? Been inconvenienced by the drudgery of the modern world? A random thought popped into your head that makes you realise how the world can grind you down?

Pet peeves! Irrational dislikes! Petty grievances!

The doors to Room 101 are open, and you can be as irrational as you like.

I'll start us off with two things from my morning.

Groups of people who stop dead in the aisle of the supermarket to have a chat, blocking you way, Inconsiderate BASTARDS!
and
Websites that autoplay videos. Fuuuuuck off! If I want to watch it, I'll fucking well click play!

Cauliflower.. jizz coloured broccoli wannabe but tastes like bad cabbage, smells like a damp armpit and needs cheese to cover to make it half edible…

When you haven't shaken the ketchup bottle enough and end up with Heinz precum on your plate.

 

[Cwtchseeker]

Film lids on microwave meals… pierce several times only for it to fall in if you do it once, and as for trying to peel the lid off or back, well just tears off with mind of its own.. either just ripping off round the edges or landing half your meal over you.

Opening a packet of tablets and knowing full damn well that the end you open in the one where the info leaflet is folded over.

New style connected tops on pop bottles.. take a sip and cut your lip on the connecting plastic, and now you can’t throw them at dickheads without tossing the whole bottle ..

Oh God. That little plastic fucking umbilical cord.

 

[Cwtchseeker]

The little flaps on foil lids that are supposed to help you help you peel that just tears off off or disintegrates leaving the fucking lid on. 21st century and we haven’t come out with anything better??

Same applies for dodgy can ring pulls, the fiddly little roll top on Spam and corned beef cans, those plastic ring pulls in a plastic juice cartons and the tear here now on sauce sachets that don’t or never work.

Don’t even get me started on insert straw here on Capri-Sun, with the straw going through both sides and gushing more than a pornstar in a squirting video..

Paying for hand luggage, seat selection, food, hold luggage, using a check-in counter, for a flight with no entertainment, comfort or leg room..

What next? A £1 per sheet charge in the loo, or £5 to sit down on it??

Being in the middle seat for a flight longer than 10 minutes.

people who like to get up at 6am and helicopter strafe housing areas, again and again, same goes for dickheads with motorcycles and beater cars/trucks who have to make all the noise in the world on the weekend

Airport drop off and pick up fees.. no I’ll just walk there and back with four cases, screaming kids, it pouring with rain and still being in holiday shorts and a t-shirt sure…

 

[Cwtchseeker]

Tipping culture.. out of hand… just pay people properly already!
