Things that piss you off Page 658

It doesn't necessarily piss me off but it annoys me that most movie trailers nowadays don't mention what the film is about. They mostly consist of dramatic flashing images with no context as to what's going on.

I remember when they'd have trailers at the start of rented video tapes and you would have quite a few in a row. I got linked to a lot of great/fun movies through them, whilst avoiding the bad ones.

Trailers these days fill me with no enthusiasm to get excited about a movie. I really have lost touch with movie magic these days, having to go back to old classics to feel that spark again.

I just hate everything.

They are all just cookie cutter mate. Means they can pump out shit loads of trailers quickly and save money and time if they haven't finished filming/effects.

Slobs who park in disabled bays, usually young chavs, I stick 'pretend' parking tickets on their windscreens!, a joy when they react!.

I've altready had enough of the effin Olympic Games

Radio 5 live live 5live live (OK Tris?) this morning

'Over to Vasso' 'Here I am standing on the 100m finish line' WHY FFS?

'Looking at the schedule of events when will Team GB win its first gold?

To some bloke who jumps into the water 'Have you been over to the Aquatic Centre and have you had a look where the rostrum will be?'

Better that than the other style of film trailer which painfully tells you the whole story of the film and spoils every single plot twist in advance.

Yes, my words exactly, that' gravel-voiced demon', proclaiming EVERY detail in his sincere effort to shift you into cinemas.

Are you sure you've not just been watching episodes of 'The Office- An American Workplace'?

I must watch this then. But no, this was inspired by having to cater for too many creatives on commercials who felt the need to order their food in a 'comedy'/wanky way (Yup, I'll have the porr-aaajjj - The porridge - or the chick-carrn - The Chicken) which is hard to take when you've had 3 hours sleep. But maybe they had been watching The Office - An American Workplace (?) Anyway, it made me realise why a lot of caterers are a bit on the miserable bastard side.

It's easy to tell which one you are watching.

Are the characters English? It's The Office.

Are the characters American? It's The Office- An American Workplace.

Yes, there's a fair amount of that on there. And yourself.

People bringing you a chip to eat with their fingers then them getting huffy because you refuse to even touch it.

Cold callers ( as if they aren't bad enough anyway) who get indignant when you don't want to talk to them. I had one today who turned up, and I told him I don't need to buy anything; the smartarse started saying "what, you don't need to buy *anything*? No food, no clothes?".

I can't be bothered to spend any time ranting to them about it, what I need is a big hidden death pit for them to plummet into as I shut the door.

It must be a horrible soul destroying job, though. To spend day after day and week after week being rejected by people who despise you.
