1. Grumpy neighbours
Shortly I’ll be moving to Leicester and I can’t say I’ll miss the bloke who lives at the back of our house. He kicked up a right fuss when we had some decking laid down and was forever complaining about the height of it even though everything was totally legit. We did what we could to appease him but there was just no satisfying the bloke. One day he came around knocking on the door accusing me of cutting one of his trees down. I was totally innocent but it did make me laugh when I saw it there lying in his garden.
TRP verdict: There’s no need to sit on the garden fence on this one, no matter who owns it, as this is definitely going into Room 101.
2. Dog mess
I live right opposite a park and the pavement just outside the entrance is always littered with dog poo. You really have to be careful where you tread otherwise you’ll step in it, which can proper ruin your day. If you’re going to have a dog you’ve got to pick up after it, otherwise it’s not fair on everyone else.
TRP verdict: You’ve every right to kick up a stink as dog poo really is the pits.
3. Tomato ketchup obsessives
I just don’t get people who insist on smearing tomato sauce all over their food; it just ruins the taste of the ingredients that have gone into making the meal. I once saw my girlfriend’s mum squirt some onto her Christmas dinner. Unbelievable!
TRP verdict: It’s the sauce of many complaints but fish and chips would never be the same if it went into Room 101. You can say t’rah to tartare sauce instead if you like.
