Room 101.

[merl]

As we're mostly of a certain age and getting grumpy seems a natural progression I thought I'd start a tread where we could all vent our frustrations with modern life. What would you put into room 101 for eternal banishment? What really irritates the hell out of you?
Mine:
Drivers who sit in the middle lane
Drivers who insist on driving in the right hand lane of a dual carriageway because they intend on to turn right at the next roundabout 5 miles ahead .
Arrogant (usually well off) people who feel a need to talk very loudly within their group of people in pubs and restaurants just to let everyone know how great and successful they are.

Idiots who drive up the left hand lane approaching a roundabout to get past the queue and then turn right at the roundabout in completely the wrong lane.

Had one tw@ do this today at the same roundabout where it happens everyday.

People who post third world problems that irritate them.

[number14]

People who drop litter, followed by people who can walk past litter and ignore it.
I just can't understand why it doesn't bother them. I mean, how much does there need to be before they are bothered? Ankle deep? Knee deep? Waist deep!?

Walking the dog in the park I always end up grabbing a handful, so to speak, and people walk past saying "Oh, you are good"

Aargh!!

(Rant over. I feel better now)

Dog walkers, who dutifully bag the shog dite , then tie the bag to a branch.
