British Expats - Pet Peeves?

Back to peeves.

Those bloody awful gerbils in the car ads. Someone needs to animate a giant snake to come along and east the little shits.

They're right up there with the stupid pig and lizard for annoying animals in adverts.

Don't take it personally.

I just find them significantly more irritating than getting silver nitrate in a paper cut. Trust me, that's irritating :D

I'm mostly OK with the animals in the ads. It's the ads with humans in that, with very few exceptions, drive me bonkers. Especially the home made ones. WTF is that about? :eek:

They're all shit.

There is something about some of those animated, anthropomorphic animals that pisses me off, though.

No Coffee:frown: Why oh Why, if you have to have a 'procedure' where no food/drink is allowed from midnight the previous night, can't they do the procedure EARLY in the am? I have to wait till noon today and that's just the app't time!

I think I am hubbys pet peeve this morning!

Look at it this way - if they did it earlier, then you'd have had to stop eating/drinking earlier as well. Then you might have had to stop at, say, 9:00, which would probably have been worse ...

Good luck with the procedure, if it is the kind of procedure that requires one to wish the procedure undergoer good luck :nod:

I'm pretty sure these are gerbils. Or perhaps hamsters.

Although, I never did jump on that whole 'meerkats are cute' bandwagon, now you come to mention it ...

It's an endoscopy, killer GERD and no meds seem to work, should be all good, just gotta map out the closest coffee shop for after I get out!:o
