Room 101

What would you put into Room 101?

One pet hate per post.

Post as many pet hates as you want until you experience true catharsis!

If you are not familiar with the Room 101 concept, here is a little bit of background from the relevant article on Wikipedia.

Room 101 is a BBC comedy television series based on the radio series of the same name, in which celebrities are invited to discuss their pet hates and persuade the host to consign those hates to oblivion in Room 101, a location whose name was inspired by the torture room in George Orwell's 1949 novel Nineteen Eighty-Four which reputedly contained "the worst thing in the world". Orwell himself named it after a meeting room in Broadcasting House where he would sit through tedious meetings.

  • No! One of my favourite indulgences is crispy bacon with pancakes and maple syrup. My preferred cafe does it just right – a perfect balance of crispy and soft, savoury and sweet.

  • It's a good job, room 101 isn't real then isn't it, pancakes, crispy bacon and maple syrup, sounds like a nighmare meal to me, I'm not a fan of maple syrup at all and I'm not that keen on pancakes, sweet and savoury dosen't do it for me, savoury is dinner, sweet is pudding!

    I could put BBQ's in there too, I hate the things, stinking out the garden most summer days, I have to take my washing in and tumble dry it, and shut the doors and windows to keep the gur wrenching smell at bay, they make me feel really sick. I don't like burnt or charred food either.

    Brushed nylon is another thing that should be bannished, anyone remember brushed nylon sheets? Horrible things that gave electric shocks when you moved and caught your toenails.
