[The Clamp]

The obsession with cooking/foodies. I like good food, I’m just not remotely interested in how it’s made.

Snobby/precious dog owners. Dogs are wonderful creatures. You are not the first person to own one and your dog is not unique.

Excess packaging. Once you start to notice it, it’s genuinely unbelievable. And as we all know, terrible for the health of our oceans.

Celebrity culture. It’s irreparably damaged the psyche of the western world.

 

[The Optimist]

Several people have listed some of my favourite things

OK, without getting all po faced about it (illness, suffering little children, racism, etc) I give you

Sharp corners and pointy things that jab into you in the kitchen and dining room
Things put in front of other things so you can't see the other things
People talking to you when you're trying to concentrate on something
Half-baked initiatives put forward by people who never bother to think things through properly, even though they are quite capable of doing so
Hubris
Negligent stupidity where people who know they don't know the facts still feel it necessary to offer an opinion
Hidden agendas
Purposeless pedantry (if it is intended to wind me up, I'm happy with that, otherwise....why?)
People who would rather destroy a collaboration than allow anyone other than themselves to get any credit.
People, really. Most of them, probably
Comic sans font, obviously, the cheery little shitter.

Not just everyone on your ignore list then?

- People who pronounce foreign words in English with a foreign accent. For example pronouncing Seville as SERVEEEEEAAAA. Imagine doing that in an Indian accent ?

- "Can I get" when ordering food.

- Excess packaging as above, drives me mad.

- Work on Monday over hearing Premier League "supporters" who have never seen their team and simply repeat something they have heard over the weekend from a pundit as their own insight into "their" team.

- Cyclists going through red lights.

- Cyclists cycling on the pavement.

- Cyclists treating pedestrians as collateral damage in their war with motorists.

- Motorists turning into side streets and not giving way to pedestrians.

- Organised fun, team building exercises, away days etc....

- People finishing emails with "best"

- Soap operas.

- Somebody doing a job badly passing off their methods to a new member of staff "training".

- Thinking that documenting an inefficient working practice defines it as "a process".

- Personalised number plates.

- People finishing emails with first letter of their name.

- Mushrooms.

- Nimbies, Once asked by a neighbour to appeal a planning application on the basis I could see it from my garden although technically they couldn't from theirs. IT WAS A SCHOOL.

- People finishing their emails with "best" and the first letter of their name.

- Work Christmas parties.

- People saying "I'm sorry you feel like that", rather than "I'm sorry"

- "Analysts" working in technology who no technical qualifications who pass themselves off as technical.

- Powerpoint presentations.

- Anyone who calls a powerpoint presentation a "deck".

I reckon that consigning growing old to Room 101 would remove at least 50% from people's lists.
I'll go with chucking growing old into Room 101.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

How dare the original poster consign Nobel Prize winner Bob Dylan to room 101?
Obviously a man of little taste....

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Iceland - both the country and shop

I like a singer that can sing, call me old fashioned

 

[happypig]

Gardening. Not gardens, I like them, just do't like doing them.

Christmas. I hate all that false bonhomie, gluttony and unnecessary debt.

Along with Christmas, New Years Eve. Paying to get into your local because they've put a plate of sandwiches on the pool table ? Bollocks to that.

Scousers. Especially Jamie Carragher.

Spiders. Eight legged jumpy creepy ********.

 

[Jack Straw]

Mobile phones.
People that say "Rock up", instead of "Turning up".
Breast implants.
Radishes.

 

[m@goo]

People that say "Rock up", instead of "Turning up".

Brings "Thanks for the heads up" to mind..

"Thanks for letting me know" is what you mean!

You'll be enjoying Messrs Darke and McManaman currently referring to the Chelsea 'keeper as' Mondeee' then?
