Pet-Peeve Thread 4: More peeve than you can handle.

SSJmole said:
I have a new peeve but it's one you need to live in uk to get how annoying it actually is. The Asda Adverts. They show like 2-3 in one load of adverts. 1 every now and then = fine but it's like every adverts we have to hear "It's starting to look like christmas" It's driving me mad. I officially hate that song based on this. Seriously a load of adverts now goes :

Random advert
"It's starting to look like christmas"
Random advert
"It's starting to look like christmas"
Random advert
"It's starting to look like christmas"
Random advert
"It's starting to look like christmas"


WHY? :arrgh::arrgh: Now I'm all for christmas adverts (Hell I'm waiting for this years "Holidays are coming" Coca Cola advet or the IRN BRU snowman song) but it's too much. At first I like this advert but I swear If I hear "It's starting to look like christmas" much more I'm going to kill someone. Watch Granada Reports, Soon you'll see " Increased in holiday violence It's starting to look like christmas is to blame"

If I didn't know better I would say Asda was run by a Supervillain and this was his plan to drive people insane :crazy:

I hear you there... I am also starting to want to brutally murder Kerry Katona for those bloody Iceland adverts. They have loads of them on throughout the breaks and Iceland are sponsoring "I'm a Celebrity Give Me A New Career" so every segment of that show is bookended with her and Christopher soddin' Biggins prancing about, whoring themselves with sausage rolls and bleeding prawns on sticks....

You watch I'm a celebrity? :noway:


But seriously, yeah those "mums shop at iceland" crap is annoying also. Not as annoying as "It's starting to look a lot like christmas" but still annoying int's own right.

The only adverts I expect to be pumped out so much as christmas is stuff like "Toys R Us" as thats kind of understandable but surely they have to know these adverts aimed at adults doing shopping are so annoying it makes people not want to rush out to their shops.

Smoking is really starting to annoy me, these days. Probably because it's so annoyingly cold; someone blowing smoke in your face on top of that is just flat-out depressing. It's not even the sickness/disease/cancer element that annoys me about smoking. It's just the sheer cost of the blasted things. It flat-out annoys me that people would want to throw away €30+ a week on cigarettes and I think it annoys me even more that people have that much money (at our age) to burn. Literally.

Is 30 euro the cost of a pack? If so, I'm amazed at the self-control exercised by your local smokers. For some reason, everyone I know seems to huff an entire a pack A DAY.

I've made no secret of the fact that I do smoke, but I do so in moderation: Half a pack a week. I keep the rest from going stale by letting other people bum, but distributing it so that they all get only one stick from me, and earn their good will to boot.

Most legitimate smokers smoke a pack a day. I'm guessing packs cost 5-8 Euro over there.
 
no idea on Euro but her in pounds it's almost £5 and like planet-man said me and most smokers I know smoke one pack a day the total a week is about £35 as I get a pack of 100 for £25 then 2 £5 packs once a week to make sure i'm set for the week.

Oh, Mole.

You're going on and on about how constant repitition of the song is driving you crazy..... and you've gotten the title/lyric of the song wrong. Unless you're talking about a different song, it's "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas".

Perhaps a hefty dose of a few of those commercials is what you need lest you forget again!

that's one of the adverts. Watch it like 10 times one after the other then imagine if you multiplied that by a million and you see why it annoys us so

Yeah, that's what I was saying. Most smokers need at least a pack, a few go as high as two and the crazy as high as three.

But I question the term, "legitimate smokers." So because I smoke less than a pack a day, I'm not really like, a REAL smoker?

My question exactly. My packs usually last a few days. Do I have to pick up the pace to become "legitimate"? Because I will. When I decide to slowly kill myself with something I go all in.
SSJmole said:
No and that's not REAL cancer you'll get from it either.

So my cancer won't be "legitimate"? They'll diagnose me with Falsey Cancer? I'll die of not being cool enough to finish a pack a day? What's the deal?

Not fantasy cancer but more like Diet Cancer or Cancer light/lite.

Most people I know, who smoke less than a pack in a day or two, don't consider themselves "legitimate" smokers. They'll say "Oh, I only smoke once in a while", "I like the occasional cigarette", etc.

This doesn't line up with my opinions on the issue either. But who am I to label them?
