Room 101

ooh yes. Always just where it will show the most.

True I've wallpapered my youngest bedroom this morning, I could see the faults in the paper as I was working but my wife and kids couldn't when they looked as the imperfections are hardly visible, the trouble is every-time I walk in the room it will be the first thing I see
 
Another nomination from me (I must be a grumpy old woman!)......the idiot who has lit a bonfire near my house. There's enough pollution around at the moment anyway judging by the sand on my car, and someone decides it's a nice day for a bonfire. Unbelievable. it's a particularly stinky one too
 
It's one of those things... as soon as you notice something is a tiny bit off, you can't un-notice it! I do it too, and I've noticed that in my room there's a tiny, tiny lump in the gloss on the skirting boards. It irritates me every time I look at it
 
What about the box of mains adaptors without any sign on them saying what they are for.

I used to have a similar problem in the old days when computer manufacturers sent discs with a computer. There was usually a pretty picture on the disc but no clue as to which machine if was for..
 

I'm the same in that respect.
 
Got a few nominations here:-

Pyromaniacs who have garden fires whenever it stops raining for half an hour.

People who think that all other drivers are telepathic, so they don't need to indicate.

Princess Anne who says gassing badgers is humane.

People at work who moan about others nipping out for a quick cig, but think it's fine to spend hours making/taking personal calls and texts, surfing the net & socialising.

Fox hunters and hare coursers

Better stop now, getting angry. You wouldn't like me if I got angry......

Oh yeah, Bear Grylls.
 
Yes, I agree with all of those!
 
Egyptian cotton sheets that go bitty within days and make you feel like you're sleeping on gravel. Yowzer it is annoying. Serves me right for boasting. Stick to mi brushed cotton and polyester blend in future. I'm a sad git I know but the driveway's more appealing to sleep on.
 
If Egyptian cotton sheets are the only thing you want to put in room 101, life must be pretty sweet

Lol! I hate having my hair cut so much that I don't! When it gets to the point that it's too long to easily bundle up into a clip, I grab it into a bunch and chop a couple of inches off. ( yes, contrary to popular belief, I am a girl. )

Oh 'eck mo. Hang on I've got a list here. I thought it was just one and my mind was blank at the time lol

Cold callers. Thank goodness for caller display.
Cold callers at the door. The times I've ducked into the doorway while 3 psycho dogs want to get at them.
Cowboy plumbers/electricians/bathroom fitters/driveway builders. We've had the lot.
The council.
Riders who leave horse poop on the roads. We're near countryside here and our car tyres look like they belong on a tractor.
Full car parks at the doctors when there's only a handful of patients inside.
People who let their children run riot, completely ignoring the keep quiet and control your children signs.
Asda on a Saturday.
Alarm clocks.
Washing lines that snap when you've got a full line of clothes on them before you hear them ping!

I'll stop there for now. As Arnie would say..I'll be back!! But I don't want to overload the thread
 
People who butt into conversations where everyone is speaking one language and immediately start talking in a language that they are very well aware excludes one of the group.

Other members of staff, (temporary staff, or we'd be having words!) who speak welsh to MY pupils, during MY rehearsals, knowing full well that I don't speak it fluently and probably won't follow it! - The kids immediately translate for me, without me having to ask. - If they can be that considerate and inclusive, why can't a fellow adult???

Dyson hoovers. We've had them from the beginning. Now they're bigger, heavier and don't have that oomph about them to me.
 
When I go out walking,would it hurt people to smile and say hello, some do of course, but society today!!!
Now that would need a very big room.....:/
 

Am pretty much in same boat. I can be in the middle of a conversation with a colleague when someone butts in speaking Welsh.
They seem to think that because I'm Welsh, but can't speak the language, it's my fault I can't understand them and I should really do the right thing and learn.
Can't comprehend why people don't see what they're doing is just so very rude. It's given me a dim view of my Welsh speaking counterparts and no incentive to join them.
 
I agree on the Dyson Hoovers.....they are just getting worse

I would like to send bra's into space cos I have never find a comfortable one yet!
 
This is easy - learn Welsh then! (Am assuming that you are living in Wales!) . At least the swear words - lol!
 
Sorry but don't get it. If you live in a bilingual country why not learn the language! By not learning, I'm afraid you isolate yourself. I always make a point of learning the language where I live - it seems only polite. I have also found that the attitude of people around me changes and people are usually willing to help. Makes a great story at dinner parties when I've inadvertently said something rude!
