Annoyed by the lady in the green top!!

So is it just me. For last few days my Mumsnet has been haunted by a lady in a green top. Not sure if Mumsnet think this is advertising? But is basically just annoying me!

I've definitely never seen that advert.

@CovidClara I am sick at the sight of that ad. Poor woman and apologies for the negativity but i can't abide it.

Bluejewel · 07/11/2020 22:27

Yep I have the same video :-(

HaveeeeYouMetTed · 07/11/2020 22:27

I've currently got a Bacardi advert at the top & a KFC advert part way down.

Says a lot about me 😁

I wasn't but then I clicked on page two and there she is

I have a man with a parrot and a Met Police ad Confused

Jeeze people. Get Adblocker. It's free and you won't be haunted any more.

star wars lego and a local-ish posh hotel for me!

I kept getting some weird advert with mouldy bread, which is really annoying with pregnancy nausea!

I have a house with a green door

I get the mouldy bread or ear wax adds 😂 a lday in a green top would be positively delightful compared to those.

Download StopAd, it’s a free advert blocker. Another forum I use was almost covered by an ad last week so I blocked cookies and pop ups too.

LadyCatStark · 07/11/2020 22:33

I haven’t seen the green topped lady but I always get the Ann Summers one and some eye wateringly expensive watches that I could never afford even if I wanted to!

EveryDayIsADuvetDay · 07/11/2020 22:38

I get ads for Knomo and Uniqlo mostly - and occasionally jumpers with cats on from a dodgy chinese company.
You've obviously done something to make the google gods think you like the green top lady or whatever she is advertising.
Go into settings and clear your cookies - that'll get rid of her for a while.

I get the woman in green all the time. So annoying.
Better than the one i got last year though which was a woman making a microwave chocolate cake in a cup.

OMG i had her throughout lockdown Hmm. The microwave cupcake looks completely disgusting and probably has 1000 calories. I got a bit paranoid as I'm overweight and wondered if the lady in the green top ad is targeted at me due to Google knowing what size clothes i order online.

If you log in to your MN account rather than the app,green top lady goes away.

I have boring window blinds, no sexy Ann Summers ads for me.

justasking111 · 07/11/2020 22:49

Dominos pizza and McDonalds here, loathe both.

Allthedoggos · 07/11/2020 22:51

Things could be worse--sometimes I get ads for gun holsters! Minding my own business on mumsnet, and wham: a giant gun on the right-hand side of the screen.
