Is that the one with the florist who wants 'everything propa'? If so, it bugs the crap out of me too Grin

MamaLazarou · 16/02/2016 12:38

Ugh, she is awful. YANBU.

goodnightdarthvader1 · 16/02/2016 12:40

Vistaprint are shit.

irlouise13 · 16/02/2016 12:48

I feel positively homicidal at the 'propa' one
YADNBU

angelos02 · 16/02/2016 12:48

I hate the way the florist says 'really smart'. Gives me the irrational rage!

BourbonChicken · 16/02/2016 13:14

Yes, Bailey. That's exactly the advert I am talking about!

Oh god. I have found my people. I thought I was the only one who loathes that ad and that woman in particular. Wtf does everything proper mean? I can feel my blood pressure soaring just thinking about it.

Bailey101 · 16/02/2016 13:40

Everytime I see that advert, I want to grab her by the shoulders and scream that she's not bloody Ali G!! Grin

ArtyBat · 16/02/2016 13:51

No, YANBU to loathe the Ad, but you've remembered who it's for haven't you? Wink

Good advertising then, whether you like it or not!

I actually agree with you re the ad - it is annoying, but......I've used their business cards for a number of years now, and love them! Star

Bailey101 · 16/02/2016 14:12

Dammit Artybat, I feel like I've been conned now. I don't like the idea of some woman who can't say proper gettin gone over one me 😂

ArtyBat · 16/02/2016 14:27

Tell you what Bailey, if you could see my studio you certainly wouldn't call it 'propa'.
In fact Vistaprint just might take their cards back, cos I'm definitely not representational of what flower woman says! Grin

bruffin · 16/02/2016 14:34

Yes
The only advert to give me rage.
Nobody who is a perfectionist would say "propa"

WanderingNotLost · 16/02/2016 16:14

God I'm so glad it's not just me! I can't stand the way she tries to sound so posh and then comes out with that awful 'propah' at the end. I have to mute her. Her and the Gladstone Brooks guy. And the life insurance one with the spoiled little brats children.

Actually I pretty much have to mute all the adverts.

Oysterbabe · 16/02/2016 16:20

Latest advert hate - the Snackachist.

IceRoadDucker · 16/02/2016 16:59

We mute them.

Latest advert hate - the Snackachist.

I woke up at 2am with that bloody rap sound echoing around my head.

goodnightdarthvader1 · 16/02/2016 17:06

rap song*

BankWadger · 16/02/2016 17:16

I was whinging to the husband about annoying vista print woman just a couple of days ago.
She can't ruddy pronounce th. Everysing etc, topped off with proppa. Argh!!!
It defeats the whole everysing perfect pretence and puts me right of fake flowers.

LarrytheCucumber · 16/02/2016 17:34

That is one (of many) adverts we turn the sound off for. No idea why the 'proppa' is so annoying, but it certainly is.

TammySwanson · 16/02/2016 17:50

YANBU for sure. I hate those ads - the 'they look propa!' bit and the way, at the start, she says 'I.. am.. a ....florist?', as if she's not even sure what she is. The dog grooming one is a bit better and yet still they have chosen a person with an annoying voice, who can't read a script without it sounding like she's reading from a script.

TempusEedjit · 16/02/2016 18:39

Yanbu, it's propa annoying (although not as bad as Gladstone Brookes and their PPI possibly missold to you and I, and that Kinder advert for "chocklit")

Pogmella · 16/02/2016 18:53

The Fixodent ad is worse. That lady stands on the wobbly dentures and the text at the bottom of the screen flashes up 'Dramatisation'. Thanks for clarifying it's neither a tiny elf woman nor a giant with dentures...

Oysterbabe · 16/02/2016 19:00

Haha! DH pointed out that dramatisation label yesterday.
