Can definatly vouch for that. My son has been out with his (canadian)girlfriend for dinner in Victoria and the waitress even passed him her phone number :ohmy: Didn't please the girlfriend.

My husband has been told (even when im with him) what a lovely accent he has etc. We were in our local shop and the cashier asked if that was all and he said ' yes, unless you have the loving off a good women i can have'. in all seriousness she replied, well if you give me your phone number i know plenty of girlfriends that will just love that accent! when we were leaving she then said 'if your serious come back and give me that number'............

The thing that has me shouting abuse at the TV is the TV ad for the Newfoundland and Labrador 24/7 healthline. A laudable service, you can call anytime & speak to a nurse in a call centre. The ad shows pictures of concerned Newfoundlander and Labradorians talking on the phone to the Nurse, In A Call Centre and becoming visibly happier. Now thats all well and good but then the ad comes to a close and this nurse, WEARING SCRUBS with a STETHOSCOPE around her neck and Bluetooth headphone on smiles knowingly at the camera. She's in a friggin call centre so why the scrubs??? And what's she going to do with the Stethoscope?? Ask me to put the bloody phone receiver to my chest while she sticks the other end onto her bluetooth bloody headset??? Do the people that run the healthline think we're stupid!!!

OK. I admit. I need to get out more. :D

Re: What drives you nuts??
 

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: OMG I thought I was getting paranoid:blink:

Re: What drives you nuts??
 

At a stretch I could buy the scrubs (uniform in a sense) but I do have to question the stethoscope.:confused:

No but the people contracted to write the ad do and they'll likely have sold those healthline people on the idea that the scrubs and stethoscope are necessary to portray the appropriate image.:p

It's all about image in the world of advertising.

Re: What drives you nuts??
 

There's a USA diabetes ad that does that too - call centre ops wearing white coats. Why??

And I *hate* the way that old boy with the bushy 'tache says "die-uhh-BEE-tuss".

Re: What drives you nuts??
 

Those stupid Viagra ads with the people talking gibberish.

Also the Yoptimal ads with the idiot with the grey hair buying yogurt at a bar.

Re: What drives you nuts??
 

I hate those too. But I wish I was the one who came up with it.

Re: What drives you nuts??
 

I can honestly say I do not welcome any TV adverts spoiling my TV watching. Over here you get it so so so spoon fed (they think we are dumb) is it that subtle doesn't exist anymore.

Very good. I'll have to Ti one on after that. I've always thought that he would like to give Peter a Blackeye.

Re: What drives you nuts??
 

Who are they? And who are we?

Re: What drives you nuts??

I know what you mean, house full of males!!!! :curse:

Re: What drives you nuts??
 

I have three; try power rangers from my 5 yr old and lunar jim from a 3 yr old. Not the mention the booom booom booom from upstairs; two teenagers and guess what - It's Half Term!!! :ohmy:

Re: What drives you nuts??
 

Teenage kids are just here to cause us pain! :unsure:
I've got 2!!!! Being dragged away from familiarity to a wilderness!!

Re: What drives you nuts??

Re: What drives you nuts??
 

Tish boom...:rofl::rofl:

Re: What drives you nuts??
 

Don't really care if I am, as long they come with us; once there they can see why we have made the move. Even managed at last to get through to my 20yr old who tried to be independent, wanting to stay in the UK; back home now; thank goodness! Not sure is girl-friends family agree though. :sneaky:

Re: What drives you nuts??
 

They are the profit focused a##holes that make you think that you need something even when you really don't. We as in the general stupid public that obviously supports the whole process.

Thanks for the interest

Re: What drives you nuts??
 

Don't get tetchy Thomas. Do you really think it's all that different "back home"?

Re: What drives you nuts??
 

I only watched BBC in the old country(only joking)
I know that without the tedious ads we would have to pay a fee for the pleasure of watching TV, but sometimes just sometimes doesn't it just drive you nuts when you see the same ad every 15 minutes. Do we really need that tooth whitener for that beautiful artificial white smile:D? that said I really must quit that chewing tobacco, its making such a mess of the carpet:rofl:.

Re: What drives you nuts??
 

Well you lost me at "the pleasure of watching TV".

On your main point, I was driven nuts years ago.

Isn't it obvious?

Re: What drives you nuts??
 

People that don't turn up when they say they will. So you hang about waiting until you have to go out - then they turn up:curse:

People who say they are going to call before they turn up - then just turn up as your about to go out, as you have been waiting in as long as possible for the person to turn up who said they were going to turn up and they didn't.:curse:

The way they repeat the same commercials over and over.

The people who don't pick up their dogs poops.

Wandering around the supermarket looking for an item or a similar item (to what I used to use) and I'm sure i've seen it but can't remember which supermarket it is in.

Hubby only putting half a tank of fuel in the car - WHY? Just fill the damn thing up.

People who are late

Not being perfect

The kid opposite using a leaf blower for the past hour when he's fit enough to use a rake. No sound, no pollution, no hydro wasted with a rake, so whats with the leaf blower?

Mumblers

Background music

Echoey rooms

Overcooled airconditioned rooms so in the summer you need to take a jacket to wear indoors

That swapping the knife and fork over thing

Holding a knife like a pen.

Patients who ask me "Is this all you do all day, dont you get bored?"

Cinnamon or vanilla in everything

Phew, there, oh yes and intolerant people !!:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Re: What drives you nuts??
 

Diesel truck drivers who leave their engines running, choking me and everyone around.

Boom boxes. I'd like to get a similar system, play country music and drive the little buggers nuts (but O/H won't let me!).

Owners of little yappy dogs who think their pooch is so adorable he couldn't possibly be annoying anyone by barking for hours at a time.

Those damned commercials where a grown man acts like a cat, especially the one where he's using the kitty litter. Good grief, whoever thought that one up should be shot!

Re: What drives you nuts??
 

Completely with you on that one, it's just gross:mad:
