For me they sum up the situation exactly right.
Reminds me of Nessa!5 -
Marketing slogans.
Arriva buses with the slogan "making everyday journey sparkle."
Perfume adverts have some of the worst. Saw a perfume advert yesterday with the slogan "freedom waits for no one"
Castore with their "better never stops"
I wish they would all just Stop with this saatchi and saatchi bullshit.

Everything in December having ‘mas’ at the end.
Sky are at it with ‘Footballdartsmas’ just because they’re both on over the festive period.
And there’s a pet ad on the radio referencing ‘Petsmas’.
Just say the normal words you morons.9 -

…and talking about Christmas. I was in Selfridges and entered the Christmas shop trying without succeeding to get into the Christmas mood but then I heard or misheard a song which I thought the lyrics were “Christmas wont be Christmas with a Jew… I know there are a lot of Arabs/muslims that use Selfridges but that was taking things too far. I then realised that she was singing Christmas wont be Christmas without you. I must get my hearing tested!1

Car headlights are getting ridiculously bright nowerdays. What has become common now is that newer vehicles seem to have 4 lights on at the front.
Another modern thing now is people using automatic full beam headlights on their vehicles. They do not work properly and should never even be allowed on vehicles.
The sensors can not pick up the lights from another car until your nearly on top of them or if you are some distance behind someone they are on which blinds their rear view mirror.
If you meet a car coming round a bend they blind the driver in their car before it switches them off. They can switch back on and off again within seconds causing the driver coming the other way to think your flashing them about something. Using them is a hazard and just lazy.14 -
Painting a room that is covered in white wallpaper with white paint in the sunshine!
I think I’m getting snow blindness!2 -
I’ll tell what is annoying about modern headlamps, the price of them if you have to replace them. Someone scuffed one of the lenses on my last car, I thought I’d just buy a new lens cover. You have to buy a whole new unit at £1100 and because they were LEDs that tracked the steering only the a main dealership can set them. All because someone couldn’t be bothered to drive properly.Karim_myBagheri said:Car headlights are getting ridiculously bright nowerdays.

They dip with red tail lights so oncoming headlights are no problem. I doubt anyone would react manually any quicker.1 -

Apps for the NHS. I’ve got so many different ones. I’ve moaned about this before.
I’ve had an email saying I’ve got a notification in MyChart. I try and open MyChart. Can’t remember password so try to reset password and it sends a code that I can’t see. Finally use 2 devices to get to see code. Change password. The notification is to say I’ve got medication waiting for me to pick up in Denmark Hill. I had the appointment at Queen Mary’s in Sidcup.

The ratchety sound of the tumble dryer being reactivated. For reasons I can't identify I find the very sound of that machine (and it's not noisy) thoroughly depressing. It's like SAD in sound form.1

I work from home as part of my Contract now, so work cant technically do anything about it.
But we have four Quarterly Business Meetings across the year where I work, the type event where we give ourselves a pat on the back for doing our jobs - Have always said that I'd go in for those, but have equally warned work that if I cant get into the Office for whatever reason, I wont do it... e.g. August / September for the third quarter is impossible as my Son is home for the School Holidays.
Been talking to my Manager the last couple of weeks, and have promised that I'd be making it into the Office on Thursday for the latest, but stressed each time that I'd only do so, provided that nothing came up stopping me.
Today my Son has been sent home from School with a high temperature (He was running around like a headless chicken with infinite energy just last night!!) - My wife cant afford to take the time off work to look after him (as she only gets SSP), and has no Annual Leave left to take
So I'm now praying he gets better before Thursday, so that it doesnt look iffy with me telling my Manager I cant get into London!0 -
WFH must save parents a fortune in childcare. Nice if you can get it I suppose.1

Annual leave too - used to need to take a half day's annual leave all the time for various parenting things - nativities, sports day, dentist appointments, sickness bugs etc given it was the travel to and from the office as much as the time those things took, now can nip to their school and it's your lunch hour or you make up an hour after 5 and are still home earlier than if you commuted.JaShea99 said:WFH must save parents a fortune in childcare.

Love WFH, get more done as well without the interruptions about what people had for dinner etc, so it's good for the company.10 -
