1. Cutlery chewers
It makes my skin crawl when I’m sat within ear shot of someone who chews on their metal cutlery at meal times. It’s on a par with someone scraping chalk down a chalkboard for cringe worthiness. You know who you are Will Addison, aka ‘chewer’. To be fair to him, I’m not sure he even knew he was doing it when we were team-mates together at Sale.
TRP verdict: We’ve bitten on this one all right!
2. Smartphone obsessives
I find it unbelievably rude and frustrating when you’re trying to have conversation with someone and they never once catch your eye because their gaze is fixed on their smartphone screen instead. Jonathan Joseph and Max Lahiff are probably the two biggest culprits in the Bath squad. Both of them are totally oblivious of what is being said around them in the real world. It’s ridiculous the amount of times you have to repeat yourself before they cotton on to what you’re saying. Dave Attwood has difficult banter so I totally understand why they blank him but I’d like to think what I have to say is worth listening to!
TRP verdict: You’re every right not to be App-y.
3. Feet pickers
What could be grosser than seeing someone sat opposite you picking the dead skin off their feet? To make matters worse they then flick their rich pickings randomly around the room rather than dispose of it properly.
TRP verdict: … We’ll definitely toe the line on this one.
