Room 101

Audi drivers are the worst people in the world for that. Worse than BMW drivers. I don't hog the middle lane, and have no time for people who undertake me. They get cut up.

And people who hog the middle lane also need to be shot in the head.
 
There was one time when me, my mum and my brother with his girlfriend were all heading to Plymouth. We were already doing 90 in the fast lane yet some women still insisted on tailgating us and trying to undertake us.

I almost laughed my head off when she tried undertaking on had to slam the breaks on to to a car in the other lane. When she did finnally manage to get past us she shot off at what must have been 100+mph!

She and other drivers like that can go straight into room 101
 
Going to add all car/driving related rants to Room 101.

My dad is constantly moaning about lorries on a Dual Carriageway. One tries to overtake another, but can't manage it because they are both limited to the same speed, like 55mph, queues of traffic form behind!
 
Also, people who don't *quite* straddle two lanes, but their right wheels just keep going over into the next lane. Why? It's not hard to stay in lane, and you're just annoying everyone!
 
Can I add people who when cooking something potent (curry, for example) decide not to turn on the kitchen fans/open a window AND leave the door wide open so that for days after their meal is cooked, consumed, digested and excreted, the house stinks of their cooking?

I swear I'm the only person at university who thinks of others when cooking...
 
hehe that last one is going in. My dad does that all the time, we sometimes put his slow cooker outside so it doesn't stink up the place.

Strangely I was watching the show Room 101 and Deborah Meaden had this as her Room 101 choice, got put in as well!
 
^I just iPlayered it out of interest.

Meaden gets it. I always thought I'd get on better with Hilary Devey, but changed my mind now.

I had a strange moment the other day - i'd just got some nakd bars in holland and barret, and the checkout girl asks if I've got one of their rewards cards, so I present that, she scans it, I put it back in my wallet and put my wallet back in my pocket

Her:"that'll be 3 pounds 14 please..."

Me; "Oh yeah , it might help if I pay for the stuff!"
 
People who like to park across to spaces because they are too lazy to straighten up. Seriously does my head in, especially when I try to park at work. Also when people park on weird angles so when you return to your car, you have to squeeze into your car whilst holding the door so it doesn't hit the other car.
 
Something I'm noticing more and more of on CF? When people keep putting question marks on the end of sentences that aren't questions? I don't understand why they do it? It just doesn't make grammatical sense and looks lazy?

It's like every sentence I read like that I can't help reading in an Australian accent?

Stop it?
 
My housemate was just peeling boiled eggs and eating them over the bin.

Slurping them as well.

I mean, I'm glad he's enjoying them but after a couple of doobies the slurping was amplified and it was messing with my groove a bit. It didn't help that the only other sound was the clock hahaha.
 
Receptionists, particularly receptionists at a doctor's surgery.

Is there a special degree in superciliousness, patronisation and impatience you have to do before you can get a job there?

I know that you definitely need to have your **** cemented up to give you that particular stiff back and "do I look like I enjoy life" presentation they have perfected.

Never has such a profession been so wrongly placed. Their job is to simply take a call and either put you through, or book an appointment. Yet every single one makes you feel as though you've just asked them to drink a turd milkshake and that they have a million other more important, life threatening, things to be doing rather than taking your requests for faecal ingestion.
 
^Lol, my mum is a receptionist at a Drs Surgery, but I think she's probably quite nice when she does it XD

I have one to add. People who RUN around corners, then look really surprised when they bump straight into someone. What did you think was going to happen? So dumb.

I HATE the receptionists at my local surgery. When I walk in i'll stand there for like 2 minutes whilst the receptionists finish gossiping, or sit there shuffling papers. When they do eventually bother to achknowledge me, they look at me like im the biggest piece of **** they've ever seen. And this is the same with every other person who goes in there.

As a receptionist myself it angers me even more, if I got caught talking to someone in my reception like the receptionists at the Doctors talk to the patients, id be sacked! :x
 
Is that Jordan's Mum's surgery Rachel? ;) :p

To be fair, it IS the ones at Doctors who are the worst. I tend to find that ones who work for big businesses, or IT (when I go visiting people) are fantastic. Also anywhere that you find customers regularly going to visit.

However, I've generally worked in manufacturing so the receptionists I actually have dealt with "professionally" are dreadful - though not as bad as those at a Doctors ;)

Madame_Furie's doctor now doesn't allow the receptionist to book an appointment until you've given her all the details of what is wrong. Then the receptionist decides if she should contact the doctor to see if you need an appointment quickly, or if you can be fobbed off with something in a week or two.

Talk about giving the wrong power to the wrong people! If my doctor started doing that, I'd leave like a shot - my health is a personal thing to be disclosed to whom I decide needs me moaning about it, or to my doctor. It's not something I discuss with somebody I neither know, or who doesn't have professional medical training. I also wont discuss it openly over the phone - not that I have an embarrassing health issues (or any kind of issue), it's the principle.

Yes agreed! The one at my doctors treated me like an idiot after the stupid self check in thing didn't work and I had to interrupt her convosation with the other receptionist to get her to work :--D
 
Was reminded of one thing I hate today.

Mouth Breathers.

Keep your moth shut. You look slow when you have it gaping open all the time for no reason.
 
People who chew gum with their mouth open.

Seriously, you look like a cow chewing grass, and frankly I don't want to see the contents of your mouth :/

People who blare music from their phones. The amount of times I've had to ask somebody to turn it off, and the worst thing is that people feel like they shouldn't say anything, like they're the ones being rude and obnoxious if they ask somebody to turn their music off or put earphones in. Which is ridiculous.
