THE DARLINGTON MOWDEN PARK OPENSIDE TAKES US THROUGH HIS PET HATES FROM THE RUGBY OF WORLD AND BEYOND

-

I find it really frustratin­g when the person in front of you walks really slowly as you try to get somewhere in a hurry, like on a railway station platform when you’re in danger of missing your train. These people don’t seem to have any sense of spacial awareness and you end up trying to side-step your way through the crowds. TRP VERDICT: It’s as though I’m walking in your shoes, it bugs me too.

2. Messy gym goers

I’ve got a bit of a CrossFit background, having coached in Leeds for a bit before moving to Darlington, so I’m a regular gym goer. The boutique gyms I normally go to have a really good culture where everyone clears up after themselves; but the same cannot be said for the one the team at DMP uses. It drives me crazy when I’m left behind clearing up after all my teammates. TRP VERDICT: You’re really going through the (tread) mill. I’m sure you can work it out.

3. Food sharing

I hate it when my missus decides that what is mine is hers when it comes to food. There’s nothing worse than making yourself something to eat only to have someone else sticking their fingers in and helping themselves. Either offer up a trade or ask for the same thing in the first place! TRP VERDICT: We normally leave issues like these well alone but, in this instance, we agree she is being totally dishonoura­ble.
