Irrational things that annoy you (and non irrational things too come to think of it) - Page 9

How about MEN who are absolutely useless at finding things. For example, they ask where the hammer is. You tell them. They go into the room, flick their eyes from left to right and claim that they can't find it "HUANYWHERE". You walk in, pick it up off the table and SMASH THEM IN THE FACE WITH IT

NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! *murder*

any advert that is clarified with '24% of women agree', or some equally meagre amount at the bottom of the screen in tiny letters
or the slightly better '87% of 9 women agree'...

I second that hammer swinging motion.

How about women that spent a-g-e-s looking for something in their handbag before finally telling you what they're looking for and you tell them exactly where it is....?

Pffft

Too much fear to go into Mrs Dym's handbag, no idea what I might find in there!

I hate any advert for mascara/lipstick etc that then goes on to say 'advert filmed using lash inserts/fake lips (for example

)'.

WELL ITS NOT THE BLOODY MASCARA THAT DID IT THEN, IS IT?

"Maybe it's Mabelline?"

"Maybe it's false bloody eyelashes more like"

"X celebrity styled with some extensions coloured with Y hair dye" - if it's mostly her own hair, in her own colour - thats not an advert for your colourant then is it?!

See I love that!

I really like the Flora Buttery advert they have with Gary Rhodes!

48% of the 200 people chose Flora Buttery.

45% chose Lurpak Lighter Spreadable.

7% had no preference

Bet it cost them a bomb to find out 3% prefer buttery to salty

That however really does annoy me!
