To find Naga Munchetty ridiculously irritating

GiveHerHellFromUs · 28/11/2019 07:28

Every single time I turn on BBC Breakfast she says something that makes me say "shut up you idiot" out loud.

Today:
They're talking about reusable bags/bags for life and increasing the price of them.

They're interviewing a lady from Greenpeace and Naga's argument is "well it would make things easier if they just put signs up saying 'don't forget your bags' at the supermarket."
Every supermarket I've been to in the last 2 years has these signs.

I know it's a really minor one today but I find her incredible irritating and I've been up with the baby since 4am after she woke at 11pm, 2:30am and 3:30am even though she normally sleeps all the way through so I'm extra tetchy Grin

My, you must be sleep deprived to get so irate over something so minor that you consider it's worthy of starting a thread about it.
I hope your baby sleeps better tonight.

I agree it. Naga can be quite irritating- which is interesting as she has very little tolerance of others!

I have found her rather irritating, but only in recent weeks.

I don't know quite what I think is different. Though I have noticed a few barbed comments to fellow presenters (one in particular) enough to make me wonder if there had been a falling out. Perhaps that's it, she seems more waspish? Which isn't what one expects on the morning sofa

fairybeagle · 28/11/2019 07:37

I also find her really annoying, as well as that her co presenter whatever his name is. They have no charisma or chemistry.
Also find Victoria Derbyshire really annoying these days, I think she comes across as rude.

OverByYer · 28/11/2019 07:37

I like her

Eyezswideshut · 28/11/2019 07:39

Love her! Especially since the recent racism scandal.

My local supermarket doesn't have those signs. Or I dont see them. But I need a sign on my front door. Too late when you already get to the supermarket.

Sandsnake · 28/11/2019 07:47

I really like Naga! But you have a non- sleeping baby so you get to be irritated by whoever you like Wink

GiveHerHellFromUs · 28/11/2019 07:50

@BreakfastAtSquiffanys I think you missed the bit where I said she's always irritating but I just gave today's example

@Eyezswideshut to be honest by the time I get to the supermarket door I think "ah too late I'm here now" even if the bags are in the boot Grin

Team Naga here!
I think it is telling that an intelligent woman who occasionaly speaks her mind is "irritating" and "waspish".

GiveHerHellFromUs · 28/11/2019 07:54

@McT123 I find her really dismissive and abrupt.

Sometimes she appears very intelligent but then she just says something really rude and unnecessary and it bothers me

I would like to say that she was lovely with Harry the veteran a couple of weeks ago though

Love her - smart as a whippet and no nonsense.

Fairyliz · 28/11/2019 08:02

I find her really irritating. I said to DH a few weeks ago her job is to present the news not comment on it. If she had stuck to that she wouldn’t have got into trouble with the equally annoying Dan.

Eyezswideshut · 28/11/2019 08:06

She isnt a new reader.

BookWitch · 28/11/2019 08:10

I like her.
Don't like Dan though, he's a knob.

bohemia14 · 28/11/2019 08:13

I've always liked Naga but in the last few weeks I've found her irritating. I actually mentioned to DH this morning that she was being very annoying. She's so snappy.

I love Dan, but he recently seems to have become very full of himself.....

gingercat02 · 28/11/2019 08:13

I love Naga but her outfit this morning is dire she has opinions and says what she thinks, often not popular in a woman 🤔

GiveHerHellFromUs · 28/11/2019 08:15

@bohemia14 I do agree he can be arrogant too.

I quite like him when he's on with Louise.

I love Louise and like Charlie. Carol is my fave weather person. I feel like I'm over invested!

Love her. There are so many irritating presenters on the news Kay Burley is the most annoying.

TitusOatesLivesNextDoor · 28/11/2019 08:17

Racist much?

HoneysuckIejasmine · 28/11/2019 08:19

Naga is usually the only one who actually challenges politicians, rather than smiling and letting them spout bullshit.

HowlsMovingBungalow · 28/11/2019 08:19

I don't think Naga and Charlie get on - both seem to be seething when on air together. Naga likes to talk over guests and it is fucking annoying first thing in the morning.
I can't watch BBC1 morning news anymore makes me pissed off at the start of the day.

Couldn’t agree more.
