Room 101: Gareth Rawlings – Sale player/coach

1. Towel thieves
Finding someone has used your towel prior to you using it after a game is something that gets on my wick a bit. It’s not much fun when you get out of a nice, warm shower and your towel is all soggy and dirty. I’m one of those people who checks his kitbag four or five times before heading from home but there’s always someone in the team who isn’t quite so fastidious. Maybe I’ll have to take a spare towel with me and hide it away.
TRP verdict: You’ve every right to expose these people – and take back your towel.
2. Non-indicators
I’m based in Stoke and travel a lot for rugby and people not indicating is one of those little things that gets to me a little when I’m behind the wheel. It means you are having to second guess people all of the time, especially at roundabouts … ‘Can you go; can’t you go?’
TRP verdict: It’s a wink from us.
3. Buttery knives
My wife looks after me and my little boy really well and always makes a nice breakfast so I am loathed to find fault. However, it gets to me a little bit when she puts the knife she’s used to butter the toast with back on the plate. I don’t know why, it just does. Maybe it’s because it sticks to the plate and makes a mess. With all the time we’ve been living together I think she occasionally does it on purpose to keep me on my toes.
TRP verdict: You’ve clearly got a lot on your plate but, even so, you’re spreading yourself a bit thin with this one.
