Room 101
I've been thinking of things that i would banish to room 101 for all eternity if i had the choice.
Mine would have to be hand dryers in public toilets. Particularly the ones that really don't do anything, those ones that have about as much power in them as somebody breathing heavily! what a waste of time and money - you end up having to wave your hands vigorously in the air (which does more to dry them than the dryer!) or find a suitable piece of clothing to dry them on.
Even worse than this - knowing that the dryer i am approaching to dry my hands will probably be useless, as i place my hands under the dryer expecting something to happen.... NOTHING!!! the thing either doesn't work or has been turned off or whatever; you end up hunting for the one that works which undoubtedly will have a queue of people all waving their hands about and subtly drying them on the person in front!
so that's got my vote. What would you put in room 101?

on the toilet theme. I would banish toilets without a seat, just a bowl. I reckon if you were constipated you could lose toes due to loss of blood to your lower legs
1) Tele-Sales People (even though I've done it as a job and so has Tom)
2) The metal bit on the side of Cling-Film containers, which never cuts it properly and I end up with it being too small to cover whatever it should be covering
3) People who go through all the ring tones on their new mobile phone while on the train/bus
4) Free newspapers and all junk mail
5) Etisalat, Dubai's only phone company for blocking Skype, iChat, Flickr, Myspace and much more
I'd better stop there. I'm turning into a Grumpy Old Man...
Brits abroad
...they're just so rude.
Westlife
Pidgeons
Dawsons Creek, The OC and any other American teen programme with incredibly articulate teenagers with no acne
Incredibly small urinals
Tom Are you sure you're not Peeing in the sink?
Cars with red indicators.
(I've only noticed them here, maybe they're only on american cars, but they're so annoying. It's just the brake light that blinks, it's not clear from a distance, it's dangerous and frankly what's the point?)
