People who don't understand the difference between biscuits and cakes.

I'm going to do an appeal to authority here. My grandad, inventor of the jaffa orangey bit and therefore Father Of The Jaffa Cake, when challenged on the subject quoth thus: "Of course it's a bloody biscuit. It's in the biscuit tin isn't it"

Like your work, arrpee.

I nominate TV adverts which feature popular songs sung in a slowed-down kooky style (there has to be a descriptive term for it as a genre, I just don't know what it is). Makes my teeth hurt,

Religion - it's basically just brainwashing stupid/desperate/poor people.

Atheists giving themselves way too much credit.

Tall & awkward people.

Not tall people especially, and not awkward people, but the combination of both (which to be fair, is a lot of tall people I know), needs to go. It's a waste of a good hand that's been dealt.

I know what you mean. Cliches in TV seem to last years. I've never had a TV of my own so seem to notice them when I watch it occasionally round a friend's or something. Another one is that Harry Potter inspired (?) twinkly fairy tale music that every single lifestyle "documentary" has.

acoustic guitar for implying honesty and authenticity?
a slightly swung rhythm?
mildly faltering vocal delivery?

when you know what that descriptive term is, let me know, so I can avoid it too

The current mtb industry for increasing the rate of so called standards exponentially over the last few years. Even worse when they are sh*t like ISIS or BB30.

The media obsession with calling virtually any picture of a person a "selfie" even if it was taken by someone else.

It's not too bad lately to be honest, so might not take up much room in Room 101.

Oh, and people who criticise the "misuse" of the term Room101, just as a way to let people know that they have read a book.

Anyone who says "it was a pagan festival first"

UKIP and inconsiderate people in general. Being British used to mean making things a little bit better for everyone. This seems to be on the wane...

Should we ban cars because I saw a driver run a red light this morning?? Of course not, that would be stupid.

Into room 101 I'd put "motorists", cars with big engines, super bikes, caravans, super campervans, holiday makers who're shit at driving, small men in sports cars (probably comes under "motorist"), unnecessary 4x4s.

I realise these are pretty predictable ones for someone who rides a bike.

After today, really ****ing idiotic people that don't realise when they've gone too far. Then, upon diplomatically trying to bring up the subject of their insensitivity, get fake fits of laughter at the thought that they're an offensive twunt.

Them. They should be locked in a room.

..and window salesmen. You should have window fitters and window fabricators, that's it.

Wheeled suitcases. Not the proper, big suitcases with two wheels on one corner which can be quite useful 'cos they're heavy when full. You can't take more than 20kg on a plane anyway nowadays, so the stupid little suitcases these twunts keep dragging around airports, grinding cheap plastic castors on noisy hard floors because they're too frickin idle to pick the bloody things up and carry them. Are we degenerating into a race of people who can't carry a sub-20kg load more than a couple of paces without having to unslide the black slidy handle things and drag our shorts, knickers, suntan lotion and socks behind us like it was too difficult to pick up by the perfectly serviceable handle FFS? I mean seriously? They've even got wheels on their bleeding cabin baggage now, the cretinous, stupid, idle, weak farkwits.

Scapegoat:

Wheeled suitcases

:applause:
the capacity of trolleyed carry-on luggage is so reduced that all they can fit in it is their charger and a half-eaten pencil.

Litter in the verges and those who throw it there, yes it's a lovely view, so why in hell do you think it's improved by discarding your KFC/McDonalds/Pizza Hut,etc packaging there.
