So who's up for gedge's Room 101?
You'll need to bring 3 pet hates, and a good argument why I should let you put them in my Room 101. If I deem your argument worthy then the door opens and in goes your item.
Most things will be considered, i'll let you know as we go where the line is drawn. Please refrain from nominating other posters, or you may end up in the room yourself. Remember that you need to provide a good argument for an item to be considered for banishing. Audience participation is encouraged, but my decision is final.

O.K a bit difficult to find anything major as "it's all good"
I'll be Guinea pig though:
1) Women in supermarkets that just disengage their brains and walk around like they've been lobotomised. Wake up to yourself
make a list and just buy what's on the list it's easy and takes minutes not hours, there's no need to look at every product you'll still buy the same as last week.
2) Jobsworth's Aghh
I don't care if that meal doesn't come with that drink or those veg that's what I want and I'm the customer I'll pay the bloody difference just put the food on the plate I'm hungry now.
3) People who post while they're pissed
. Round them up put them in a field and bomb the B*s*a*d*. It's not an excuse to say something you wouldn't have the courage to say sober. Nor is an excuse to use when you've said something offensive to another poster. I've far more respect for someone who has the balls to say it how it is and accept the flack attributed to their comments than someone who seeks strength and solace in the bottom of a wine bottle.

People who buy houses without garages then stick cones outside the front of their houses to stop people parking legally.

3 pet hates
1. Piggin, scum, sh*t burglars who think they have the right to enter someone's property and steal stuff because they want to. How much reason or argument do you want
2. Cockroaches - now someone environmental will probably argue but perleease, what are they here for? what purpose do they serve? what do they bring to humanity?
3. Cold Calling Anthing Sellers - Not been bothered here yet but does anyone actually say yes to these people

For the main part, it'll be the person that posted pissed that feels the worse about it the next day anyway.... so let the conscience do the work.
Can't argue with your other points though.

2) Certain jobsworths have some value, others know no better. So we can't have put them all in. They are "just doing their job" which is usually a job that few would do by choice. Perhaps a little more understanding and patience is required from you.
3) If we breath tested all posters and banished the inebriated ones, we'd probably have a very empty forum. Certain aspects are objectionable, like those you've raised, but what about the happy drunks? They add to the colour and flavour of the forum imo.
like you said nothing "major"

I hate hate hate self righteous people!
Peddle your silly high horse morals somewhere else because no one is interested. I don't care how much better you think you are, and I'm pretty sure that my dad could kick your dad's arse
Good enough??

7 pct in my case equated to about 210 bucks in my sky rocket per year...or 24 days or thereabouts free gas and electricty per year.
