Food Adverts Food adverts and food programmes. I consider myself very experienced at eating food. I have had a lot of practice and know what I like. I do like to try new things though but can easily research these myself. I am perfectly capable of going to the shop or fridge and getting something to eat. However I have in the past got to a stage where I sometimes eat more than I should have, so adverts and food programmes are only serving my over-indulgence. It would be good for me not to see these.
W lking - Not looking People walking and looking at their mobiles. I walk every day either in a town or on footpaths and pavements. I encounter so many people who have to look up at the last minute and swerve to avoid me because they are not watching where they are going. I have more recently made it my policy not to change my direction to avoid the zombies coming the other way (unless they are bigger than me or look too aggressive of course). Sometimes people are completely unaware they nearly had a collision. Don’t get me started on people wearing headphones!
C reless Drivers Stupid drivers. Being the age that I am, my driving habits are mostly cautious. Its not to say I drive slowly but I’d like to think I am careful. Recently I have encountered more stupid driving on all types of roads. People seem to obsessed with getting to their destination ahead of everyone else. I let them go first knowing they have only jumped ahead a few cars at the most. If you are really that late then leave earlier. Maybe the government could introduce a ‘Stupid Tax’ for this type of driving.
Now it’s your turn! Do you want to banish your top peeve or worst nightmare to the depths of Room 101?
