I’ve come across some more things I don’t like. But I think I’m going to call this the “On Notice” list. I just read this on another blog post called “On Notice” which was very humorous! Go take a look at it. I like that better than “The Hate List”. So these things are “On Notice”.
Commercials
I actually did my own little research on this. I watched “The View” one day and I swear I’ll never watch it again. 5 grown woman doing nothing but talking over one another. The guest never had a chance to speak! It’s like sitting at the local diner! Yak Yak Yak Yak….. But I digress. After timing each segment, then each commercial, it turns out that there was 40 minutes total of commercials, 19 minutes of the actual show itself. The longest commercial break was almost 15 minutes long! I’m happy to say that BBC America came out on top with the least amount of commercials per one hour show. And people can’t figure out why I didn’t see a show they’ve been raving about all week. I got up and turn it off. TOO MANY COMMERCIALS!
Neighbors
Ok, I blogged about this recently. I sometimes feel I’ve stepped into the twilight zone. I’ve had my share of crazies. From drunken encounters to animal rescues, I’ve had enough. I can’t imagine what they think of us and our small fleet of automobiles.
Lady Gaga
Why someone with such a wonderful, strong and dynamic voice has to perform like she’s on a bad acid trip. She’s not unattractive, and her music isn’t that bad. What do I know about public relations and publicity? Nothing. That’s why she’s making millions and I’m sitting in front of this computer.
Britain’s Speed Cameras
Though I am not living in this fair country, I REALLY feel these have to go! They’re only there for capital gains (they insist that they’re there for traffic control…yeah, right). Let the people put their foot down and let loose on the freeway! There are better ways to control speeders. They know better than to erect ANYTHING of the sort in the USA. Paintball gun sales would rocket. They’d be trying to erect new cameras as fast as we would be reloading.
Eco Friendly Cars
Besides having stupid names, they’re just plain ugly! And all their grills look like they’re smiling….happily….saving the environment….and laughing in your face.
Customer Service
I don’t know ANYONE that likes calling these people. “Oh, I get to call Customer Service today! I’m SO excitied! I can’t wait!” I’d rather get a mammography. And how embarrassing it must be when you admit to someone that you work in Customer Service. Everyone within ear shot has just given you a dirty look and your date has just moved 5 feet away from you and has just remembered that he hasn’t fed his pet fish and must leave. It’s even more fun when you’re connected to someplace half way around the world…..such as Bombay India. Not only are you getting customer service, you’re getting a cultural language lesson as well.
The View
I’ve decided to add this one last dislike. I watched it once for my little research project and couldn’t stand it because it was nothing but cackling hens sitting at a breakfast table. I can see that shit at the local diner. Or visit any kid’s soccer game. It was the most painful 60 minutes of my life! I’d rather have gone to the dentist! That would have been more productive! Then I was forced to watch it in Drs. waiting rooms. And they’re still cackling. Over eachother. Trying to out joke one another. They seem to have forgotten that they’re on the air and just ramble on about whatever. This is what gives us housewives a bad name. And it’s one of the most popular talk shows on tv? I’m not seeing it.
