Thanks for pulling the last batch of submissions, and votes for or against banishment to Room 101, together, @Mi-Amigo !
Here's some Room 101 nominations for the next batch:
1. parking across two parking bays
2. ducking the question
3. nickel-and-diming
4. trying to open the door or emergency escape window on an aircraft in-flight
That'll do for now, I think!

What is nickel-and-diming please ?
on 24-06-2019 11:08
Jaywalking
Vehicles which don't indicate therefore causing confusing to pedestrians
Bicycles without bells ... have I put forward this before ?

Charging for trivial or inconsequential items, like 10p for butter on your scone in a tea-room - nickel-and-diming, @Anonymous.
