MickinMD ★ Posted February 6, 2019 Share #11 Posted February 6, 2019 Drivers who don't use turn signals. Congress not repealing the law that lets scam phone callers use fake telephone numbers so they can't be traced. CVS phoning me at least 10 times/month, even though I'm on THEIR do-not-call-about-prescriptions list, saying either 1) your prescription beginning with XYZ can be refilled. Press 1 if you want it refilled..." or 2) your prescription is ready for pickup - when neither I not my doctors requested it. Infomercials designed to look like a new report, where the interviewer, who clearly rehearsed the lines for the ad, acts surprised and thrilled to learn various facts about a product. The same goes for Chevrolet commercials where the nerdy guy doing the commercial says, "Oh, I forgot...." as if the commercial wouldn't have been re-shot if he forgot a line. I don't have too many pet peeves yet but, as the years pass, I'm slowly turning into Walter Matthau's character in "Grumpy Old Men." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris... Posted February 6, 2019 Share #18 Posted February 6, 2019 I have so many. First off, in movies and TV when someone gets shot in the head standing in front of a window and blood splatters on the glass behind but it doesn’t break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it's aircraft scenes that are implausible if not outright wrong. In the original Six Million Dollar Man, he takes off in one jet; flies another; and lands a third jet.

I was clicking through some channels a couple weeks ago and there was some biker flick. One dude got in a fight and got a pretty serious knife wound to his chest. Fair amount of blood covering his left pec. Him and his buddy leave and he puts a jacket over his bloodied blue shirt. Off they ride only to stop at a diner. The injured dude gets off his bike and his shirt is now white and there is no blood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris... Posted February 6, 2019 Share #22 Posted February 6, 2019 Movie makers don’t give anyone any credit. They should realize that you can watch anything on the internet. Explosions in TV and movies are a big pet peeve of mine. Have they not seen mytbusters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizeye Posted February 7, 2019 Share #23 Posted February 7, 2019 Apologies...don't EVER apologize, or worse yet, accept an apology. (Relates to insight gained on the power of an apology in sales training.) Close second or tied for first place... Mass histrionics of group impulsivity. (related to my earliest memory where I was the victim) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're cool with him having a bionic arm, leg, ear, and eye. He fights Bigfoot. He runs 60 mph? That's all good, but they f up the opening sequence with different jets and that bothers you? Does it bother you that Lee married Farrah? One of Charlie's Angels marries a dude that doesn't know which jet he should be flying. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He switched on the bionic wrist spun the prop up to about 8000 RPM and they played the soundtrack off a jet spooling up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
