To not like to be told what I think/experience about something?

[lougle]

I really find adverts/pitches which start with 'We all....' 'Everybody....' 'You ...'

I know they're trying to engage with the audience but they don't know what I think/feel/have experienced and I wish they wouldn't tell me they do.

[MrsCakesPremonition]

YY to the sinister PPI bloke staring me down and telling me I'm an ungrateful fucker for failing to claim and of the squillions of pounds banks have put aside.

[AbbeyBartlet]

mindthegap Ah the 'you wouldn't shampoo without using conditioner' one makes me shout at the TV every time 'I don't use conditioner' ! [sad fecker emoticon]

[MidniteScribbler]

I don't know if you have the ad in the UK where a stuck up twit is in an elevator and the man says 'I hear you got a new car." "No I didn't". "Yes you did!". "It's not a car, it's an Alfa Romeo."

Of course it's a fucking car you stupid stuck up cow. Gives me the rage every time I hear it. They've got a few others along the same line, all with women who think they are far superior to the rest of us mere mortals. If they said 'It's not just a car, it's an Alfa Romeo' it wouldn't even register on my radar, but I've been known to yell at the television each time I see this one.

[MrsCakesPremonition]

There's also a very peculiar car buying ad, in which a confused looking woman watches a carousel of cars go round while voices chant "we know what you're doing" - like a woman should be ashamed of buying a car? Or possibly some other message I have failed to understand.

[alltoomuchrightnow]

Everyday I get wound up by an advert on the radio. Can't remember what it's for but it says about how wonderful families are, and look out for each other, and make you feel you belong.
And I feel down every time I hear it, as it's so, so not like that with my parents (who are insular, controlling, manipulative, unreasonable, abusive in past, etc etc

[alltoomuchrightnow]

But then I feel like that about anything 'family' as I can't have kids and for me family is just me and DP and our pets…. which is ok for me but others don't see that as 'family'
(my brother and his lovely family live on other side of world, so although they would count, I only see them about every few years)

[ftmsoon]

mrscakes they are singing 'you don't know what you're doing' implying all women need a hand to buy a car as we can't possibly know how to on our own!
Slightly off topic but I can't stand the new Haribo ad where adults act to kids voices, makes my blood run cold and I have to mute it. Especially the one in the cinema where they are fighting over the girl.

[LoblollyBoy]

I do like the old anti-piracy advert on dvds. The makers got done for copyright infringement because the they didn't pay for the music they used. That's made my day YouTheCat!

[PostmanPatAlwaysRingsTwice]

I thought you were talking about my mother. I have to agree with how she tells me I feel about something or I am being Difficult Again. She knows how everybody else feels too.

[picnicbasketcase]

'You'd NEVER clean your kitchen with a dirty sponge..' You don't know me, I could be a right slovenly grub magnet, I might run lard all over my sponges and then rub them down the work tops for all you know, Mr or Ms Advertising Person.

I must stop talking to the TV.

[BoyFromTheBigBadCity]

Not only do I not want yogurt, I also don't want athletes telling me about banking. Running, sure. Not banking.

[WallyBantersJunkBox]

You might not want yogurt or a bank run by athletes but you know your children love the taste of Kinder chocolate bars....

They might love the taste of lager and peanuts too.....

[BoyFromTheBigBadCity]

Kinder is not chocolate. The advert basically say 'cheap sugar!!!'...

Thing is, mini cheddars are BAKED, so I can get the kids to eat them with lager, not the peanuts.it's a total health food.

[Cruikshank]

The worst one at the moment is that fucking Trivago woman. I'm sure she's meant to sound like she's post-orgasmic, but actually I just want to fucking punch her and hope that she finds a used tampon in the shower and a cockroach in the pillow of her carefully-sourced hotel. And then gets the galloping shits. And then dies, unloved and neglected, despite her supposedly sexy approach to booking holidays, in a fucking shit-tip.

[Laquitar]

I thought you are talking about people who do this. When i was young i dated a guy who was studying psychology. He was telling me every 5 minutes what i was feeling!

He wasn't even getting it right. I left him after few months.

[BoyFromTheBigBadCity]

Wally, you have reignited my 'white chocolate isn't chocolate' campaign, BTW.

And are you suggesting, Cruik, that booking hotels isn't orgasmic? Is this where I've been going wrong?

[Cruikshank]

Well, it's certainly an orgasmic experience for her, flapping her hair around and hugging her tits on the balcony like some kind of onanistic fool.

[BoyFromTheBigBadCity]

Wait - is that not herbal essences? Did someone suggest to add agencies that sex sells!?

[WallyBantersJunkBox]

It's the smug wink, Cruikshank,the smug wink.

[gotnotimeforthat]

Commentators that do this make me scream!
Snooker for example, the player is silent whilst playing. Commentator " He is thinking ..." How the fuck do they know what he's thinking? He could be deciding what to have for dinner for all they know.

[WallyBantersJunkBox]

I imagine most of the time they are bending over the table they are hoping not to let one rip....

[hedgemoo]

Nod nod about the trivago ad. Was ranting about this to dh yesterday. Ok we get it. You're booking a dirty weekend. In which case the ONLY requirement is a large bed and no cockroaches. NO-ONE thinks the hotel MUST be 'perfect', gah.

[JoeyMaynardsghost]

Laquitar

"I thought you are talking about people who do this."

Me too! Like when you say something and the person you're speaking to says "oh you mean [the total opposite of what you said]"

I used to put up with that. Now I say "No, if I had meant that, I would have said that. I said [this] because [this] is what I meant"

I'm getting so stroppy in my old age!

[ipswichwitch]

Cruikshank you just made me snort coffee there
I agree she's so fecking irritating with the "can you help me?" crap at the end. No, just go on the Internet like the rest of us you annoying bint.

[ipswichwitch]

The herbal essences one where Nicole Whatsherface (it's too early to attempt proper spelling of her name) is washing her hair in the toilet on the plane. Didn't realise those toilets had a hair dryer and a fecking stylist in there too. Every plane I've ever been on has a toilet smaller than my fridge freezer and I've barely got room to pull my knickers down never mind flick my freshly washed as styled hair about the place in some semi-orgasmic stupor.
These days the best I can hope for when washing my hair is to hope I can get the shampoo rinsed out of my eyes before one of the kids kicks off or DH flushed the toilet making the water go all cold
