Hello @Mi-Amigo 

Thank you for updating this thread 

[pgn]

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!

Hi @Mi-Amigo
I'd like to join in again and my grump is
Supermarkets who make you find £1 to use a trolley. I don't often have one when I don't plan a shop so bin Lidl for one! Thank you

What is nickel-and-diming please ?

[Anonymous]

Jaywalking

Vehicles which don't indicate therefore causing confusing to pedestrians

Bicycles without bells ... have I put forward this before ?

[pgn]

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