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.

  • Food packaging. It infuriates me how it’s supposed to be resealable, easy to open, less mess, less waste. What a load of crap. It’s making me furious even thinking about why the resealable sticker on a packet of rice never sticks and ends up on the floor. 

  • I bought a couple of large cereal containers for keeping rice and pasta in, just because of that problem of bags splitting. I also tend to buy large bags of rice and pasta, 3kg for pasta and 10kg for rice, it would be very difficult to lug these to the cooker and pour in enough for two people without the bag splitting or it all gong whoosh inot the pan.
