If I was hosting then I'd be inclined to allow number two, but I think you're going to have to defend your position on student reps and carrots! Carrots are one of the best vegetables??

Carrots are just vile, I'd rather eat my parrot's green creamy turds than a carrot.

The reps are annoying for several reasons: they often give terrible, objectively incorrect procedural advice that I and other academics on here (like MR Wednesday) then have to unpick and correct

They all reply to the same posts saying the precise same things in slightly different ways. Once one person has covered the bases, there's no need to do this just shut up

They begin their posts with 'hi there' and it makes me want to vomit

But aside from that they're great. (I do actually like a couple of them)

Oh wow, I am now never going to be able to look at a carrot ever again without thinking of parrot turds. Did you have to say creamy??

Also feeling personally attacked because I have been saying "hi there" for years. So now I have no idea how to send emails anymore lol

They are creamy, well, if they're healthy :lol:

Email is different, I think. I still wouldn't use it, but it's more ok in an email than a forum post to me. I don't know why I feel that way but if I get chance, I'll have a think about it :lol:

Okay here it goes -

1. Beetroot
2. Snoring
3. Friends (the tv programme)
4. Big Bang Theory

I could go on but I'll leave it there for now!

The phone thing is a real pet hate of mine, too.

Okay I am going to deliberately avoid asking what it's like when they're not healthy!

Maybe "hi there" is a bit too... down with the kids?

Correct choice.

Oh it can go wrong in lots of ways but yes, let's not. Ha.

Maybe? I think it's a bit American and that might be why I have a bias against it. It does do my head in seeing 12 replies in a row beginning with 'hi there' or 'hey there', though.

public transport feels like a bit of a break from life where I can look out the window and people watch so when I hear someone being loud it's infuriating!

I've also noticed an uptick in older people (so my age and above, really) playing videos really loudly on their phones on the train. I don't often lose my rag but I feel my ears pop when this happens.

I can think of quite a few things I’d love to put in room 101.

I’ll start with that fcking GCSE RE paper I sat as a mock in year ten

People who walk slowly (excluding elderly, young children and those with disabilities which make them walk slowly)
AQA exam board (everything about them)
People who voted for "X" (X refers to something specific).
Sweet and Sour (mixed together) food.

"The more weird or controversial the better!" so sorry TSR, wouldn't normally post this kind of thing, but it is the thread after all.

People who play their music so loudly to the point that I can hear it is another one.
