Room 101
Room 101
I wouldn’t say I’m a negative person, but I found three things to banish from this world surprisingly easy. Room 101 is designed to house the things that you hate but perhaps others love. I could have put a long list of things in it such as marmite and the many mouthfuls I have later regretted making with this substance involved. But nothing gets me more annoyed than the following three things, and by the end I hope you can agree with me.
Boxes of Chocolates
These sugar-filled boxes are deceptive, there are advertised as being a marvellous collection of all the best chocolates, but this is a false-facade. Collections like ‘Quality Street’ mix some good and some bad, so that you pay a fortune and only enjoy eating half of them. The rest you are forced to eat because it would make the price you previously paid unjust. Take the coconut-conundrum. Why companies feel the need to ruin a perfectly good pieces of chocolate with coconut remains a super mystery! It seems that they are box fillers, there simply to make up the numbers. They always seems to catch you out whilst browsing through a range of assorted chocolates, and once in your mouth you are left with no other option but to swallow it whole. Even after having eaten it, you are left with a lingering taste which is only quenchable by another wrapped-mystery. The outside and the coating of all the range seem delicious and similar, yet the evil interior of the coconut-filled dairy-droplet only comes out after you have placed your trust in it. Even the more-popular brands such as Galaxy, never live up to the expectation of a full chocolate bar, because the taste of plastic and metal foil, which they have been in for years has infected them. Despite my objections to these mini-chocolate collections, the more-popular brands disappear in a heart-beat and you are left to scuffle over the not-so-good options. The names which they accompany, such as Celebrations, claim that these chocolate mix-ups are viable

    One of the things that annoys me most are TV adverts. Now, I think that TV adverts are a bit like marmite, you either love them or you hate them. Personally I absolutely loathe them seeing as I find them really irritating as do most people. Whenever an advert comes on the TV I usually switch the channel to another programme that’s on until my programme comes back on. Why? Because TV adverts are just ridiculously annoying and so time consuming. One of the things that annoys me the most is when you have to change the channel because you don’t want to watch the advert but then you end up completely forgetting about your first programme causing you to miss it. I mean I believe that TV adverts are basically hated by everybody. To me there is nothing worse than watching your favourite programme and having to wait about 5 minutes during adverts to find out what happens next. For example, lets’ set the scene, you’re sitting at home looking for something good to watch. You find a horror film that looks quite good and that has just started. You start to really enjoy the movie, you’re dying to know what’s going to happen, you’re on the edge of your seat and the rising suspense is unbearable. You’re just getting to the best bit and all is about to be revealed when suddenly the darkness from your screen is replaced by bright light. The creepy tension building music has gone and now your ears are filled by with nice calming music as the John Lewis clearance advert begins. Then you have to sit there for the next five minutes having to…

    Dream Chocolate (D.C.) is a small company trying to survive in an industry with many competitors. The competitive environment comes from some factors.

    This room was my domain, my escape from reality, my room of hard work and determination. This overly heated room was one of my favorite places to be when I was in high school. I let off a lot of steam in this sweaty room. This giant room was where the best and most athletic athletes in the school came to practice and put in work to put a poster and their name of themselves on the wall next to the previous posters.…

She presses for her audience to take an interest in the goods they consume and use to avoid taking these privileges for granted. Frydenborg takes her audience on a journey throughout the different stages chocolate has gone through over time, from the discovery of the cocoa beans, to the creation of the first milk chocolate bar.

    Room 208- Golub: Originally checked into room 309 but shortly after came back to the desk complaining that it was not the same room as last year, which was (324). We did not have an alternative options because the only available room with a view was pre-assign to another guest. Due to their reaction I was forced to unassigned the previous guest and give them room 208. I called the room to check and see how they were doing, and Mrs. Golub still didn't sound too happy. Additionally, before moving them I offered to adjust $50 off their room rate, which they were not satisfied with. I got them into a better room so the $50 was not adjusted off.…

    The short story “The Room,” by Ray Russell, focuses on aspects developing in our society and creates exaggerations to show a future world that psychologically destroys the people. It explores the excess advertisement and addiction to technology present in the West today. While the protagonist tries to escape his horrible life, where he seeks refuge turns out to be a conspiracy of the government. Through the irony and the tone Russel uses in his story, he implies that the global population’s majority doesn’t realize where technological development leads them and deteriorates their personal skills.…

    Have you ever discovered something so irritating and totally unnecessary that you have the biggest urge to just burn it out of your life completely because it does not deserve a place on earth? Well there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the three pointless, disgusting and aggravating matters that I would send to the dark isolation of Room 101 would most definitely be – Youtubers, overly obsessed One Direction fans or ‘Directioners’ and under aged people who get drunk. I would take immense joy in never having to see or hear of these abominations again in my life!…
