OK let's revive this one for my sake. It is before my enrollment into this forum.
When there is a camera shooting the camera crew and gear shooting an interview...just in case you were interested and needed proof that the interview was being shot.

More about camera work/editing.
The scenario is an instructional or DIY show and rather than shooting what is being done and how to do it, the focus is on the doer's face...what he or she looks like while they are doing it. WHY!

People who pick up items off the shelf or out of the open refrigerators in a super market study them for 20 seconds, and then put them back.
The next time you're in a super market, look for this.
Most people who pick an item up to inspect it, do not buy it.
You will thank me for this little tip.

I wanna know the contents and if i don't see what I like, back it goes.
Game shows that apparently require contestants to have a heartwarming story and a family/friend entourage. And they seem to require tearful emotional displays, too.
Aren't game shows supposed to be fun?

I've noticed more and more typos in TV news headlines and news tickers (the headlines at the bottom of the TV screen that scroll right to left).
Just this morning, I saw this TV news headline: "RIVERA CALLED FRO HELP".
Really?! They couldn't take the time to spell "for" correctly?!

Oh, this has been getting worse for a long time (as I've noted previously):
And here's a new one from last week; Not just once, but repeated, across an entire range of games that had been postponed.
This station has a Murphy-Brown-esqe revolving door of news directors (flipping the job roughly once a year or so), none of whom seem to be able to figure out just how much lipstick they can apply to that particular pig.
The primary Atlanta newspaper is no better:

Using the word "hack" instead of hint, tip, or fix.
The last straw was watching people on TV share helpful tips about holiday cooking and shopping, and the title read, "Hack Your Holiday". Really?! "Hack Your Holiday" sounds like taking an axe to your Christmas tree while it's in your living room!
I know it's trendy, but I don't care if the whole world passes me by on this one. I'm not going to refer to good and helpful things as "hacks."

So I have taken it the wrong way each time I have been called a hack...
It depends on how long ago you were called that. If it was recently, it just might have been a compliment!
I experience moderate to severe misophonia. The sound of chewing and eating drives me up the frikkin' wall, among other noises. I have/had a hard time feeding my kids when they were younger. The first table manner they will learn is to chew with their mouths SHUT
When folks have to throw around how long they've been gigging, as if that gives them to right to be 'less than courteous' to others.
I was thinking of a few just now & thankfully one saw himself out & even had a nice little thread about it, Yippee!
minor chuckle:
when folks use terms like 'hear' on a board where we're reading 90% of the time
