During a supposedly half hour show any given time, 15 #$@&in' minutes of consecutive commercials!!!!!!!!! :bawl::rollno::banghead::mad:

Can't even watch a short clip on YouTube without invasive commercials! :nailbiting:

And what the hell is up with playing the same commercial twice in a row! :banghead:

And commercials interrupted by commercials!!!!!!!!?????? :mad:

Yeah, these things get me as irate as this cat

People who take their sweet-a** time in the morning preparing their coffee at 7-11 by carefully, and slowly, measuring out their cream, sugar, and self importance WHILE THE REST IF US WAIT FOR YOU TO FINISH TO GET OUR COFFEE :laugh:.

Move outta the way, and put your cream and sugar in your coffee somewhere where people don't need to wait for you before getting their coffee.

When I go grocery shopping I know exactly what I want. Needed some coffee cream and a person is just standing there right in my way looking up and down, back and forth, slowly opens the cooler door and keeps looking for about another 15 seconds. I'm cool about it, I'm patient and I don't say anything. All of a sudden they see me standing there and it's "oh, I'm so sorry" and they quickly grab a product. I tell them "no worries" and I mean it. But still, I encounter this ALL the time when I go shopping. It's like "don't you know what you want by now?!?!"

People unnecessarily in the way get on my nerves, no matter what the circumstances.

Commercials that show parents tip-toeing around toys strewn all over the house, or worse, commercials that show parents picking up those toys. Even worse are commercials that show teenagers' rooms with dirty clothes all over the room.

Maybe I'm a hopelessly old, outdated, slave-driving curmudgeon, but IMO and IME (I've been in child care for over 30 years) even two-year-olds can put away their own toys. And don't teenagers know where the clothes hamper is?

I was a child for nearly 40 years and I agree!
