Room 101: Steve Depledge – Otley scrum-half
I’m incapable of pulling a sheet of cling film off without getting it mangled and all creased up and then I can never get it back to the size it needs to be. I simply can’t stand it. The really expensive version is a lot easier to use because it comes with a sharp serrated edge but you can often nick yourself on it, which makes it annoying for another reason. Added to this, I don’t even like the feel of the stuff. If I’m wrapping sandwiches up, I tend to use tin foil instead, or a good old freezer bag.
TRP verdict: You’ve got this one nicely wrapped up.
2. Gym walkers
I don’t mind people going for a power walk or setting an incline on the treadmill in the gym to get a good sweat on, but it really frustrates me when they just use them for a general walk for 30-45 minutes. I’ll tell you what, how about saving yourself expensive gym membership – and causing needless queues for the treadmill – by going outside for a long walk in the fresh air instead?
TRP verdict: Take a walk into Room 101
3. Social media moaners
I’m not against social media per se, I use Twitter and Facebook, but it does annoy me when people only go on there to moan about their job and how many hours they’ve worked or how unwell they feel. Why do they feel the need to share that with everyone? At least our serial moaner at Otley, hooker Ben Steele, airs his grievances in person!
TRP verdict: Steele yourself, that’s the hat-trick.
