Room 101 (like the TV prog)

Parents who think their kids are really cute when in fact they are rude, irritating, noisy misbehaving little tykes who don't know what NO! means - or they think it means they have to throw a tantrum. For goodness sake! Instil a bit of discipline in them!

Over weight men who seem to think that it's their right during sunny weather to expose us to their pale flabby torsos' in the park/pub garden or even in the street. It ain't beautiful. Same goes to girls with huge muffin tops who seem to think it's attractive to wear a pair of lycra leggins with a crop top. I know my limitations - I'm more of a Rubens model physique wise but I keep it all under wraps (even at the gym I don't wear leggins and tight tops).

My next door neighbours garden. He's a lovely bloke, ex hells angel, got 3 Harleys in his garage. I've tried dropping hints but I think I'm too subtle "Oh X, I think I'm going to get your garden designated a site of special scientific interest ha ha". His idea of doing the garden consists of getting out with the strimmer and cutting it down. So far we've had shrews, slow worms (caught by the cats and usually deposited dead or in bits at the bottom of the stairs or alive and dropped in the lounge which means hours of fun tipping up sofas, scrabbling behind furniture to catch them) stag beetles and a hummingbird moth.

People with dogs who think it's ok to let their dogs off the lead then tell you it's only playing when it jumps up at you - usually with muddy feet, and I def agree with the dog poo in public spaces being picked up.

Neighbours (not X above) who complain that my cats poo in her garden when I know I've just seen them go in my garden and there are at least seven cats in the neighbourhood.

Extortionate car parking rates in city centres or even village centres. Do they want people to spend money there or not?

The government (this and previous) for continually moving the goal posts on pension age. As far as I'm concerned when I started paying national insurance all thos year ago I entered a contract that said when I'd paid in a set amount years of contributions I would get my state pension at 60, then they changed it to 61, then it was changed to 63 years 2 months and twenty days. At this rate I'll have shuffled off this mortal coil before I get it!

There, see what you've started with this post!!!!!!!

Of course taken as read.

Can we add those big fat greasy blokes who think women's logic is way off base, I say this cose I nearly hit one on Saturday night, long story short, power off, men come dig 50 ft trench mains cable a hotch pot of repair clamps, I suggested they replace the cable the whole length, told cant do it it costs too much so another repair clamp put on, 11th in 14 yrs, not much original mains cable left, repeat makes more sense to replace full 50ft with new cable more logical, he says well it may be logical to you YOUR JUST A WOMAN retreat behind front door to cry into my cup of tea.

As someone who used to work for one of the "Big 6", can I just say - put the whole lot of the ********* in expecially the overpaid bosses who wouldn't know one end of their whatsits from the other.

One favoured by my mother in law some years ago was Estee Lauder youth dew.
Overpoweringly sick making to my sensitive olfactory glands. But maybe it was because of the wearer!

Ha ha! I use Youth Dew, have since the 70"s the trick is little and not too often. Had one girl in the office once who also used to use it, but you could smell her coming from 50 paces.

We only get red squirrels here .. So yes the other ones can go in to 101 .. Along with the big carnivores slugs .. They scare me and the hounds .. The veggie slugs are ok for me

You may love the veggie slugs, but for some reason they just love my basil plants (gourmet slugs!). I've tried to be humane with the copper band around my posts but they seem to be immune. If they don't stop not only will it be 101 for them but also slug pellets.

I have a new one to join all the teenagers and puke.

Hospital drs who know that you were admitted DKA the previous night but still say they think you should go home now!!!!!!!!!!!!

Took me a while to read up on the post but I got there in the end. Not been a well bunny so typing from my hospital bed (at least it is still for the moment)

Deffo another YES YES YES moment numpties by the barrel all in

While I'm at it.....

Drivers who don't indicate

Teenagers that don't get their butts out of bed until 3pm

Mums that put those awful elasticated headband things on baby girls ( is it just in case we don't realise they actually ARE girls)

Hairbrushes that fall apart when you date to try and brush out a knot

People that ask if I want sugar in my tea "no thanks but I'll take a sweetener if you have one" " oh you don't need to diet!!" Aaagh

Contemptious call centre people either here or abroad who pretend they can't understand what you say, or talk so fast they've hung up before you've opened you mouth

Oh love, are you ok?
Are you at least feeling a bit better?

Feeling lot better now thanks but still a bit all over the place. Drs fighting nurses now. Nurses want to keep me drs want to get rid

Glue your nethers to the bed and refuse to move till you feel better unless you really want to go home at which point pick up your skirts and leg it

Pipp said:

Ok, I recall the youth dew nomination, or at least amend it to the people who use it instead of washing their armpits to mask the sweaty stench, as I am sure none of the people posting here would fall into that category.

Ew that's gross
