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.

    Some reasons why:

    • The text is visually startling and my brain demands that I look away.
    • When forced to look, my brain focuses so much on the presentation of the text that I cannot focus on the meaning of the words.
    • I feel I'm being shouted at.
    • I find it hard to scan the text line-by-line with my eyes, as it's different from what I'm used to.
    • I could change my browser's zoom level to make the text smaller so that I can read it comfortably—and change it back before reading anything else—but that's more effort than it's worth.

    In short, I just don't read those posts, sorry.
