What is something that is popular now that annoys you?

Sounds reasonable I suppose :slightly_smiling_face:

People who describe everything they don’t like or agree with as ā€œwokeā€ :grinning:

Quite right too…That’s why people who adopt the high moral ground are classed as woke…and I don’t like them.

I don’t like ā€œfolkā€ and ā€œfolksā€

Oh Gawd yeah, makes me want to upchuck

But the title of the thread says ā€œpopularā€, and they’re not popular with most people I know….

Supermarkets calling all small orange fruit ā€œeasy peelersā€

With so many lovely types and names, satsumas, clementines, tangerines, mandarins it’s a crime to lump them together under something as functional as ā€œeasy peelersā€

Real 1984 Newspeak

I don’t suppose it’s popular with the general public but a trend that has become increasingly popular with TV Channel programmers is to introduce the next programme before the current programme has finished.

It really annoys me if they interrupt a lovely piece of music at the end of a film to announce the next programme before the credits of the current programme have finished rolling.
Nowadays, I’ve noticed they’ve started putting the next programme info in a little box at the bottom of the screen while the current programme is being broadcast.
It’s so annoying when the last few minutes of a programme I’m watching is spoiled by a distracting pop-up box or voice-over talking about something completely different.

I remember Uncle Mac. Didn’t he only have one leg having lost the other when a bus flywheel exploded (or something like that)?

I didn’t know that.

Hello Children Everywhere. That was his catchphrase.

I don’t think I am, the first thought that literally came into my head when I read your post was that it was something to do with burgers.

Uncle Mac must’ve been before my time.

Yeah I remember Uncle Mac…We had a little valve radio on a shelf in the living room. (Lounge’s were what posh people had in those days)…Forces favourites, Housewives choice, and wasn’t there a ā€˜food for thought’ sort of religious thing at five to ten for five minutes…?
Sunday shopping…my local church has never recovered…
