Definitely 101 the earphone people & I'll add the people who put the empty milk carton back in the fridge and/or the empty cereal box back on the shelf :roll:
Haha i agree with you Fran. When i went to see Hunger Games with my aunt, the movie was packed there was so many people, and the lady three seats down from me had a little kid, about the age of five, and a new born with her. Both kids screamed the entire time, i dont understand people bringing kids to something like that, especially babies. I can see maybe the five year old going to see Rio or something, but the Hunger Games? Really people? I wanted to give the lady a piece of my mind, but it was loud enough as it was. I'll never understand.

Empty cartons, boxes, loo roll.. Ugh Banish them all. My dad had a horrible habit of eating all the oreo's, then putting the empty package in the fridge on top of the milk, so someone else would see it and throw it away. Drove me crazy.

I would definitely 101 the loud babies and kids, but more their parents who look down on their intrusive offspring screaming at the top of their lungs in the middle of the train, bus, shop etc and merely smile and say NOTHING. Even worse, they smile over at other people as if to say "Aw, isnt he/she cute, acting all like a spoilt brat and disturbing everyone?". No, its NOT cute, get some control over your kids :roll:

My next item on the list are old drivers, as said earlier. The kind of driver who is over 70 and are still driving as if its the 1950s and there are only 10 cars on the entire road system! They are driving on licenses that are in some cases 50 yrs old and are not required to pass any yearly or biannual competence test which leads to speeds of 5 mph on a main road, braking suddenly, no indications and general appaling driving skills. For their safety as well as our own, bin them now. :twisted:

Ok, I would really like to ban all the robots on the phone to room 101. You know the one's where you ring up and you are greeted with " If you would like to continue this call, press 1, if you would like to know your future, press 2, blah blah blah." Ban all the robots and replace them with real people.

Yup ban them to the dark recesses of room 101 - stupid robots.

Ok how about the idiots who litter the street when there is a bin right there! Are they incapable of walking three feet extending their arm and dropping something into the bin? Urgh :evil:

I agree! Stupid people littering... I find myself always picking up pieces of trash at my apartment complex 10 feet from the dumpster. How difficult is it really?

Also, let's add those stupid judgemental people that say a rude comment to you, and when you try to take the high road they just say something else about how you have no guts or something. For example, when I had my mohawk I was walking around babies r us with my newborn niece and this lady came up to me and said "people like you shouldn't have kids," with a yucky glare. Then I said "you have a good day too lady." And she just goes "Ugh, I knew all you people were just a cowardly front. You don't actually have the guts to do anything." This little filth of a woman! F her! I say bye bye forever and she can talk crap on the walls of Room 101!

You should have told her, I agree. Somebody shouldnt have had YOU.

Litterers bug me too. People who dump their trash anywhere should be made to clean it up. With their tounges.

I reckon we should ban all the negative people in the world to room 101. You know the ones, the ones who say "that will never work", "no point in trying", "lets just give up","the glass is half empty", etc etc etc. Life leeches, you can feel them sucking the life out of you as soon as you get near them.

Your absolutely right. I like what Hemingway said. "Man was not meant for defeat." There's nothing worse than a
quitter or a whiner.

I work with a lot of people like that and at times they infect your own attitude by the sheer number of them and their pack mentality, all negativity like "That will never work" "Im used to doing it my way" "Who the hell cares", it can be hard to stay positive when you are the sole voice but I try to block them out and not think of them when work is over, so Im all for binning them until they get some basic manners and a different attitude. :roll:

My comment will be pious to the point of making you groan. I believe everything has its place in the universe.
I believe everything is here for a reason and I believe good does triumph - eventually.

Also, the rabbits bit reminded me of Stephen King's book on the craft of writing. He asked everyone to envisage a rabbit in a cage with a number on its side. Now, for the life of me, I can't remember if everyone would come up with the same rabbit image (from Mr King's apt description) or an entirely different looking rabbit based on their own experiences.

Hey, I bet nobody remembers that old sketch The Goodies did way back in the 70's, a send-up of "A Clockwork Orange" where they were all dressed in bunny costumes and Big Bunny was going to take over the world. Or what about that movie "Night of the Lepus" aka "Rabbits", a 1970's sci-fi horror based on the 1964 science fiction novel "The Year of the Angry Rabbit". Definitely not my favourite flick!

I used to raise rabbits, and I sold a couple to a guy I worked with. He said he was going to cook and eat them. I saw him a couple days later, asked how the rabbits tasted and he said his wife named them, and you cant eat something that has a name. :lol:

I absolutely cant stand rude people but expecially rude kids. Some of the things I see parents allow there kids to get away with blows me away. :shock:
And the kids out eating or watch movies with there parents it great parents do things with there kids but seriously pick something or somewhere appropriate for your childrens age and there and what kind of kid they are maybe if they are a child why will melt down and through food or themselfs every where. :roll: My kids will never get away with the things Ive seen others kids get away with.
Then there the other manner that dont involve how you should talk to people like boys taking there hats off inside holding the door open for the person coming in right behond you also when you do and they dont even smile a thankyou or you become a door man and 20 people rush in so they dont have to touch the door. :x
I could rave about this for hours I cant stand rude people.
