Coffee-shops where everywhere’s either occupied or too dirty to sit. How does that work? What would Kim and Aggie say?

Adverts I HATE popping up all the time.

I sit at a donut shop 1-2x a week with my daughter and I bring cleaning wipes everywhere I go. It's almost always clean, but nothing like sitting at an especially clean table enjoying your very important coffee and donuts...

Americans thinking The Simpsons (as great a show as it is at its core) is the longest-running show in the history of TV.

Erm, no. Just no. Get your facts checked. Watch an episode of Corrie, for its sins.
Longest-running cartoon/animated series, maybe.

People who are messy when it comes to eating crisps. Truly disgusting.

T’sight of it on the floor’s put me off my morning coffee now.

[Mystic Mock]

Selfies.

No offense to anyone who takes them, but I really hate them.

[Mystic Mock]

People that moan about mature content.

Congratulations @Maru

A supervisor woke up the person on the dock and got them to move it. Fantastic. I was thinking it might take a whole month. It wouldn't have been surprising, anyway. As long as it gets here before Christmas, I guess

It received a date of Monday and is comically asserting it is now running late... after being very late. It'll get here soon, though. Whatever "soon" ends up being.

[Maru]

I don't really run into this problem but I thought it was funny...

The state of Japanese Anime.

…you’re so fabulously cheerful about it all, Maru……which is obviously the way to be because what can you do….

This, exactly. It's still the same status ... "Coming soon to a mailbox near you"

Hopefully it's my mailbox this time. (There's a legitimate reason for why it gets misplaced though)

I haven't watched in years (with what time?) but I go to a convention every year for Artist Alley. So I've no idea the current state of anime... I'm old enough to have downloaded new episodes subbed by volunteers through IRC channels full of Fserves... the current state of J-pop though... sigh...

Hub watched Spy x Family though and keeps trying to force a thumbdrive with it at me to watch it...

Edit: Rethinking, I do watch Cdrama, but it's an easier binge and sometimes mostly in longer clips. It's hard to follow anything with subtitles.

I would say with modern Anime that it's decent still in general, but it's lacking that killer edge Anime if that makes sense?

Because even American Live Action has Shogun as an epic tale, and Fallout for that zany vibe that can be good in it's own way.

Where as a lot of current Animes have the depth of a puddle.

Having said that I haven't watched Spy x Family, but it does look like the kind of Anime that I'm kind of talking about being a negative for the industry imo.

…hoping and wishing for today to be that SOON day, Maru…

[Livia]

I'll tell you what irritates my Dad, that advert with Slade... "We were a noisy generation..." He always shouts "When did Slade ever have a keyboard player?!"

[Mystic Mock]

Also if I hear about Oasis reuniting off Sky Sports one more time, I will smash my TV.

The channel is called Sky Sports News, not Sky Oasis News.

My package came (finally) today. One day shy of a month. Of course it was damaged, it looked like it got bent in a corner from the machine sorter. Thankfully the mat I needed the most on the inside could be bent into mostly perfect flatness and it's just a minor kink. The other one has actual indent, but I think it could be fine with some convincing+heat... even better the label was their "advantage" ground service, so it should've been here on time. So someone done goofed.

[Gusto Brunt]

Radio adverts are paricularly annoying at the moment. Rob Brydon's Spec Savers ad makes me want to smash my radio to pieces.

That IKEA ad, with that bloke talking slow. Soooooooooooooooo annoying.

And a few others.

Agreed. Whatever was going around near us lasted some two weeks. Thankfully we live far apart. Hope you feel better soon.

Thank you. I feel fine really, it's just niggling.

When you're arguing your pov and any degree of capitulation for a chance at moving forwards is instead thrown back in your face with a passive-aggressive comeback or another attempt at one-upmanship. So tiresome and a prime example of why I usually don't care to debate others on anything.
