Things that annoy me (2 Viewers)

I love Christmas as much as the next guy; get togethers with family and friends, the TV specials, the songs, the decorations, thinking back to my youth and all the great Christmas times I had..........

But people jumping the gun annoys me; where I live, some people had their trees up and decorations up the week after Halloween...........plus now the entire month of November is black Friday? Not to mention I started hearing Christmas songs last Friday and Thanksgiving is still a week away.

How about if we celebrate one holiday at a time.................

We are prisoners to these holidays. What would happen if maybe someone didn't have turkey on Thanksgiving or give a flip? It's like being Winston Smith in 1984. The horror movies and Scrooge got it right about the holidays. They are a pain in the backside.

btw: I saw "Thanksgiving" and it's a nice homage to the old holiday-themed horror flicks. Lots of your Boston accents as it's set in Plymouth. Lizzie is a hoot.

And I know people who put up Christmas decorations early and take them down the Dec 26th. Always seemed odd to me.

Thinking about going to an NBA only to see that tickets on the lower deck are over $600 apiece (not including fees, parking, food etc). Basically $700 per person for one game. How much are season tickets since they play 41 home games?
 
I assume you’re going to Philly. Tickets at MSG look to be around $160. Obviously closer to the floor are more.

I was looking at the Wizards-Lakers game. Upper deck is in the $200 range but doesn't come with the Zeiss binos to see the court. Mid-level $500 and lower level $600+. Or I might just watch the game for free on TV without risking a carjacking.

I haven’t been to a game in years, not since Linsanity.

Mine go up on the Friday after Thanksgiving, love it, then just basking in the glow Friday night.

Everything comes down the day after New Years.
 
Right now, as we in the US are in the open enrollment period for required health insurance, it's the ads for various programs, especially MediShare. It's not the plan itself, the voice of the guy who does their commercials. And the conversational tone. It just sounds so phony, and since I listen to the radio all day, I hear that commercial about 80 times throughout the day.

During the year, it's the commercials for Progressive and GEICO. I'd like to line up the ad people who wrote those commercials and smack each one upside the head.

Prost!

I hate those Chick Fil-A commercials during football games with the people sitting on red couches dong their little chat scenes.

I am not sure about the radio, but the GEICO commercials on TV about turning into your parents are both funny and ridiculously accurate.
 
Making up names for storms on the weather channel. Similarly, having names for full moons like the "Beaver Moon." When did they start naming the moon? More importantly, where is Larry Talbot now that we need him? "Even a man who is pure at heart..."

Ironically my wife called me to look at the moon last night and I told her it was the Beaver Moon. Texted some friends and had a chuckle at the name.
 
The Weather Channel, and the network "meteorologists", don't present the weather. They provide weathertainment. It's all about ratings. Informing the public about the weather is secondary. You can do a better job telling the weather by sticking your head out the window.

Prost!

Yeah, the days when the Wx Channel gave non-stop wx reports around the country are long gone. No need to watch anymore.
