Post Room 101
Created | Updated Jul 29, 2004
'Everyone knows it. The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the
world.'
- '1984' by George Orwell
Post Room 101 is the place where all the bad things are stored here at the Post Office, and
now we are going to give you the chance to place your three 'worst things in the world' in there as
well. All you have to do is send me a list of your three least favourite things and the reasons why
they are. Your things will then be placed up for a public vote by your fellow Post Readers. If the
Post Readers agree with you, your things will then be placed in Post Room 101 and the door locked, if
not, they will remain in the world and you will just have to put up with it!!
Send me your list of three things and the reason for each to me at [email protected] and please
remember to include your h2g2 Researcher name and 'U' number so I know who you are. I will then
shortly be in touch with you if I need more information or I have any queries.
If you prefer we can discuss the things you would like in Post Room 101 via a conversation on
h2g2, though of course these would not be private, but it may be something you would prefer doing.
If this is the case please leave a message at The Post Room 101 Message Service on the Post Office homepage.

Last week Shazz submitted Spam E-Mail, Mosquitoes/midges and Extremes for you to vote on. The debating was hot and furious and as a result Spam E-Mail was voted into Post Room 101. Both Mosquitoes/midges and Extremes were kept out by researcher votes. The voting on this list of three things is now closed, thank you for your participation.

POST ROOM 101 NEEDS YOUR HELP!
Our second submission for Post Room 101 comes from The_jon_m, and here is his list of three things he would like you
to vote on to go into Post Room 101.
- Tailgaters
So driving at a normal speed down the road and some guy thinks he will get to his destination much
faster by sitting 2 feet off my rear bumper. I will always slow down because I want more room to
react safely to what ever is in front of me, so they (okay he, it almost always is) will always slow
themselves down. Also, even if they can react in the millisecond they've given themselves, tailgaters
drive cars like decrepit vans and 4x4s that do not have the braking ability of a normal car and will
end up remodelling the back of my car if anything goes wrong. - All Cyclists that aren't me
Since they don't obey traffic signals, car/bus drivers hate all cyclists so don't feel guilty cutting
me up and generally causing my cycling life a misery. That of course is when I'm not being hit by
cyclists jumping red lights. - All Daily Mail Readers
Reactionary, paranoid and unable to see the evilness and bad karma that they and their kind are bringing to this country.
Now it's up to you readers, if you agree with The_jon_m that his things should go into Post Room
101 with the other 'worst thing's in the world' then vote in a conversation below. Similarly if
you don't agree then tell us why also in a conversation below. The votes will be tallied and if the
yays get more votes than the nays then The_jon_m's things will be placed in Post Room 101 and
locked away forever.
Items/things put forward have automatically one vote for them and if the voting is tied I will have the casting vote.
