Reality in the adverts Vs real life

[chunkythighs]

None of this happens in my life.....

• Clothes come out of the washing machine both clean and ironed.
  
  *On the off chance that they are not shiny white, a complete stranger lands in your kitchen with a childrens chemistry set and tells you that you're doing it wrong. You won't scream as for some reason you kind of expected this...
  
  *All men wake up with clean shaven faces and head off to the bathroom to shave. They also like to caress the same face after the 'shave'.
  
  *Discovering that your kitchen has been flooded (helllooo limescale), you will lose the ability to let your voice and lips move in sync.
  
  *Baking with a number of children is a relaxing experience.
  
  *Children always leave a thick encrusted ring of mud after having a bath- you don't mind, in fact you just raise a quizzical eyebrow and a smirk. (After all you did insist on having a complete white room I guess).
  
  
  
  Will be adding more.

After cleaning an unconscionably messy/dirty room, women have full make up, have just done their hair and don't sweat and are thrilled.

When cats want to be fed they look at your adoringly, they don't yowl continuously while sticking a paw in your mouth while you try to sleep at 5am.
After a cat is fed they roll over adoringly, they don't run into the sitting room and yak the lot up on the chair.

The only time women wear glasses is if they are advertising glasses.

All moisturisers make you look 14, this is proved by having 14 year olds model all face creams.

If you paint something, a long haired dog will sit in your lounge, not like real life where the cat falls asleep on the newly painted shelf and wakes up actually stuck to the shelf and has to be cut free with nail scissors.

Men always garden, unless it's an easy job, then the woman does it.

All people who drink alcohol are young, pretty, party all the time and can still wear high heels even when the bottle is empty.

People under 20 are constantly having dinner parties and enjoy sharing the moment with crap white wine. Whereas it is my personal belief that dinner parties are what you do when you have kids to avoid having to stare at your DH and fight the urge to stab him with your crossword pencil

"We're REAL lawyers". No you're not, you're that bloke who played a gangster on Eastenders and a bent copper in The Bill!

[plupervert]

I dunno, Miggsie, I'm bloody thrilled once I've finally finished cleaning something! Thinking of those three weeks of freedom just earned...



Tho' I am pregnant, the nesting/cleaning impulse has yet to make much impression on me!

You can take a dog for a walk from your sofa, but this is still demanding (nintendo ds)

[twotesttickles]

Yes absolutely getting Nintendo 3DS dogs is exactly like having a real dog. I mean, obviously having a freely shitting hand held games console can be a bit of a drag, but it's worth it so the Dogs Trust know they are getting responsible owners to rehome dogs with.

[plupervert]

is the Nintendo DS dog like a Tamagotchi? Can it die, or protest at neglect?

[twotesttickles]

I believe it can die. I suspect it whines for quite a while first though

[plupervert]

"I believe it can die. I suspect it whines for quite a while first though"

So passive protest, not passive-aggressive protest.

More advertising un-reality, then!

Cats can condescendingly tell you what brand of catfood they would like, but strangely can't read...
Milk formula gives babies a protective bubble that saves them from all harm

This is an old advert (Lea and Perrins?)

People get dressed up in smart suits and evening dresses to go round to a friend's house to be served spaghetti bolognaise.
