This isn’t really minor, but it annoyed me for the seven thousandth time last night.

Adverts putting horrendous cuts in music/songs so that they fit, making them unlistenable and shit.

“Don’t even cut the whole bar Andy, cut like a 7/8 bar out of a 4/4 piece and really fuck with their souls. Andy.”

I saw one the other day, or it might’ve been for a wee montage in a programme or whatever, and it was an appalling job.

I’d argue that “not recharging” is a pretty key feature of a rechargeable battery.

But still. £3.50. Can’t complain.

Could always return it - Probably cost you about a tenner in shipping though.

Yeah I remember this one. My dad got extremely sweary at the tv, which actually alleviated the situation.

What were they thinking? It is unbearable.

as an editor, it’s pretty much my life. first make an edit which makes sense and works, then get told to chop it down by a third and i’m like alright i’ll do it but it wont make sense but i’ll try to make it town. and then at the last minute just get told to chop out another 25% and the end product makes zero sense and bares no resemblance to the brief the fucking thing started from.

standard.

I like to imagine someone having this stuck in their head, and singing the irredeemably edited version at work/around the shops, etc.

you just call out my AND YOU KNOW WHEREVER I COME RUNNINGGGGG to see you WINTER SPRING

My worst nightmare, I feel for you. In a similar vein, the ads which make a bit of sense, then after a week are already replaced by the 10 second version which makes absolutely fuck all sense on its own, because any context has been lashed out the window.

there was one recently with those fucking meerkats in a caravan that i guess i never saw the original version of it and makes no sense whatsoever. reminds me of mark kermode describing transformers 2 as a work of dadaist art or whatever it was.

on the rare occasion the tv does the washing up she doesn’t rinse all the soap off the dishes. what the absolute fuck?!

#36

actually forget that, it’s not minor in the slightest :wink:

Being asked if I have a loyalty card and then if I want a loyalty card. It’s the same shop, pretty much the same person that serves me every day that I go in. If I wanted one I would have had one by now. It’s irrational for it to annoy me so much.

Also, related to the posts upthread…when taping something on the TiVo it defaults to recording the HD version. Which takes up loads more room. Watching in HD is fine, but taping uses up all the space.
