Annoying radio ad

9 replies

I keep hearing a radio ad which is really annoying me! It's a Post Office one, about being holiday ready.
It starts with a woman saying, in an overly bright tone, 'baseball uniform coming through '
Her friend then asks her why she is wearing it, and she explains that she has sorted all her bits and is now holiday ready.
I just can't figure out why she needs a baseball uniform to do this? She is planning a beach or pool holiday.
It now just winds me up every time I hear it.
Does anyone else get this?

The whispering woman with the Boots eye test ad is driving me nuts at the moment.

A lot of radio ads annoy me - Classic FM is awash with annoying ones. Either I turn the radio off for or, if it’s super-annoying, I yell at whoever it is to Fuck OFF!!! - and then turn it off.

Oooh Jamie's got a new car is the one that has me and DH yelling fuck off at the radio. Its been on so long Jamie is on his 4th car Smile

I don't think it's done it's job as I have no idea what company it is advertising.

@GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER yes, Classic FM, exactly!

Another one which I have to switch off is Xero with an X! THIS is your business aarrgghh.....

There's one that I hear on a sw London station that says something about 'less fees' and I shout 'fewer' every time.
Also Hampton Court Peter Rabbit trail says mis cheev I ous instead of mischievous and I shout at that too.

The one driving me mad at the moment is the woman with the deodorant running out.
I think it maybe Amazon Prime.
It is on Radio X every hour.

Um... I am hearing the ad in the OP as 'inflatable unicorn coming through' which would make more sense Grin

it's still annoying though!

@AllLopsided thank you 😊
Of course that's what they are saying!
I think my ears are not up to scratch.
There is another ad with Usain Bolt saying I am Usain Bolt, and I thought for quite some time that he was saying I am disabled. It didn't make sense!
