What 3 things would you put into room 101?
1. Bacon plastic packaging.
Its bloody useless, that stupid little tab that you're supposed to pull to open the packet never bloody works, always pulls off in your hand without even making the slightest small hole sl you could prize your finger in and open it easily. Oh no so then I have to get the scissors out and cut into it. Wast of time in my opinion. Those companies must spend extra money on a machine that makes those little flaps. Well I wouldn't bother, make packaging without them my life would be so much easier cause even though I know the flap will never open the bacon I always have to try in the hope that one day it might just open.
2. Text language
This really annoys me. I find it hard to read let alone begin to attempt to type in that manner. I was educated English at school along with every body else who had a secondary school education so that's what im going to speak and write, not some mobile phone made up language because someone is too lazy to speak and type properly. So it really bugs the hell out of me, just use predictive text its so much easier to type and the end result is much more cooler than some gobbledygook that my brain cannot process.
3. Voice Activated Phone Lines
You know the ones where you dial the number and you have to say "Yes" or "No" or some other random word before the digital voice at the other end can assist you. So you say yes and it cannot understand and asks you to repeat, so you say it again but a little louder, same thing happens again and you go on and on shouting yes down the phone, saying it in a slightly different accent, maybe putting on a posh telephone voice till at last the digital voice understands and presents you with a list of options from 1-5. Then you start all over again because it cannot understand which number you are saying! What happened to inputting your account number and then being transferred to a real person who can actually have a 2 way conversation with you and find out why you are calling.
Ok my rant over.
Room 101 anybody?
