Room 101

[Robbieg]

What irritations would you put into Room 101?

 

[EddiePJ]

Cycle related. Anyone that doesn't carry the basics in relation to carrying out simple repairs to a bike when out cycling, then try to blag help when something goes wrong.

Non cycle related. Anyone that pads out a sentence by using the word 'like'

Just lately we have been very busy looking at universities for my daughter, and it would seem that almost without exception, that no one can string a sentence together without constantly using the word like.

This week it has driven me mad, and I came very close to standing up in one of the introduction talks, and tearing one of the student ambassadors to shreds over it. He might of been understandably nervous about standing up to talk in front to a large group of people, but his speech drove me almost mad.

And people who start the answer to any question with So.
.

 

[Jimod]

People who use the word 'literally' in all the wrong places.

So, it's like they literally don't like know what literally means.

Those who substitute "have" with "of". Off you go to room 101

Hey, like this is literally a long list.......

Incorrect use of apostrophes

Mobility scooters - there are thousands here in summer

Drivers who sweep across the whole side road as they are turning right

Drivers who don't use their mirrors or indicators, again thousands here in summer but fewer in winter

People who say pacifically instead of specifically

People who walk their dogs on extending leads along the cycle trail and block the way

Hey and folk who make long lists of their pet peeves because it doesn't help and life is too short - I should of thought of that first like, literally.

...And Actually like we need more people to say pacifically , we need to spread the peace around so that we can chill out like

I remember a long time ago Countdown and Richard Whiteley having fun with this for a while, deliberately using such as "would of" and "could of" provocatively.

Instruction booklets that begin along the lines of, "Congratulations on your purchase of the Whizzocycle. With care it will give you years of trouble-free e-biking pleasure."

And that bloke on the Skittles advert milking a giraffe and then laughing out loud. What's it all about? It does my fruit in somehow. Puts me off Skittles!
