Cornish Pirates hooker Tom Channon takes us through his pet hates from the rugby world and beyond.
1. Dogs left in cars
I’m a dog lover and hope to get one of my own soon so I hate
it when I see a dog left unattended in the back of a car, especially in the
heat of the summer. If you’re going to have a dog, there is no reason why you
shouldn’t look after it properly.
TRP verdict: We’d be barking mad to not let this go through.
2. Video game obsessives
This is quite a controversial one in the world of rugby as
all people ever seem to talk about is the game, Fortnite. I don’t even own a
games console and most of the time, I might as well just speak in another
language. Even a few of the older lads have started playing it. There’s only
myself and Alex Schwarz and a couple of others that can live without it and
actually talk to each other about other stuff. A lot of the lads take it too
far and watch videos of other people playing it. They just think I’m an old
fossil and think I should just give it a go but there’s a big world out there
to enjoy and I’d much rather do that than be stuck inside.
TRP verdict: You can console yourself with the knowledge that you’ve got two out of two.
3. Noisy eaters
I know it’s not particularly original, but I had to include
it because it is so annoying when people eat with their mouth full and make
slurping noises or their lips smack together. I have to stop myself from saying
anything, it gets me going so bad.
TRP verdict: Glad you didn’t keep your mouth shut, another good choice.
