People that talk into the end of the phone. Put it up to your head. It's the same distance from the microphone and you can hear it just as well off speaker - besides I really don't want to hear your conversation at three times the volume it needs to be. Seconded by people walking around having animated conversations over their airpods ....
Substandard quality of most items sold nowadays. I bought 2 wall clocks and one lawn sprinkler this weekend. Two of the three items don't function and need returning.
TV: A man or a woman enters their home or is awakened in bed hearing a suspicious , unexpected noise or an entry door is open when they come home-----and they immediately say HELLO and head toward the noise without a weapon or don't back out of the house and call the cops. Stupid. Also if a women is running away from someone--guaranteed she WILL fall down.
While we are on the subject of TV...anytime anyone has big soft drink or coffee cup, they never have anything in them. Just watch the way they handle them and swing them around and walk with them while motioning with the conversation. What do you do with a hot 20oz cup of coffee? Hold it like it's a blasting cap till it cools or you set it down.
Another TV bugaboo. People dial a phone. They instantly have the number on speed dial. It instantly connects and somebody instantly picks up. Good cell service. OR.....investigators look up some obscure information and file....4 key strokes and they instantly dig up property records from 1936. Ha~!~
But boy, their tune changes when they want to drive, or need cash......been there done that survived it....
And nobody ever says good bye or see ya on the phone---they just hang up. I never heard anyone in real life do that.
Political advertisements, they get positively awful come election time. Loud, obnoxious, mud slinging. Thank God for the mute button.
