Haha, OK! I was wondering why that part was not upsetting!
-
I'm sorry -- I am really not trying to be an asshole, but does this commercial actually say "diapers changes"?
-
What I wonder, though, is what is it that we'd want the ads to say? Obviously the manufacturer wants people to know that (and maybe how and why) the product is different than deodorant made only for armpits. So would a more clinical, scientific style be better? Or if the "you can use it on your delicate junk" part was in text only at the bottom of the screen? Or if the person talking about it wasn;t that particular lady? I'm just wondering.
Personally, I don't find them inappropriate or anything, but also not silly or funny or especially relatable either.
The other thing I don't get about the responses to Lumē is the annoyance that it works for 72 hours, the "just take a shower!!!" thing. I don't think it's encouraging people to neglect normal, routine hygiene, it's just letting them know that if external forces get in the way of it, it's all good -- or, you know, if someone has a legit medical problem that causes some smell issues in this regard.
In other news, I actually saw a commercial that made me laugh. I think it was for something to do with AARP, maybe? It showed a guy -- obviously someone who's been an adult for a while -- fall off a skateboard and say, very deadpan, "That was not radical." I don't know why that last part was so funny to me, but it was.

When I see the three Ps commercial -- the one with the Ps with four lines after them (P_ _ _ _) -- all I can think of is Cheech in From Dusk Til Dawn saying, "pussy, pussy, pussy."

God damn it. Take that back -- I really don't want to have to find a new job at my age!

Honestly, maybe couples should take “live separately” breaks here and there — a reevaluation, or at least a recalibration. I really don’t think I’d be opposed to it in my own life sometimes!
ETA: Not that I have a spare home for this purpose. But these rich people do!

And, as usual, I will counter with the fact that we see like 12 minutes of their lives per week -- and far less of PK, who is shown exponentially less than the women. So, we really have no way of knowing what he's doing or not doing, and merely a tiny glimpse into what she's doing. Maybe he nags her.
My comment wasn't about only your comment; there are others too, but mostly I mean the general societal attitude. But yeah, it is sexist though. Agree to disagree, whatever...it's all fine, I don't care.

I don't like the commercial as a whole, but I like the part where one pigeon says "That's up, not North".
But I hate the part where the directionally-challenged pigeon insists his internal compass is genetically great, because his grandfather was a homing pigeon -- the other pigeon says "Must have skipped a generation". No, if it had, it's the father who would have had no sense of direction, with this pigeon picking back up grandpa's legacy.
I was with you on the generation thing too, but then I figured that it could also mean that it got all the way to this particular bird and then stopped, hence, "skipping" him. Maybe it picked up again with that bird's kid, if he has one? That said, if that's how they meant it, it really takes away from the intended jokey manner of the commercial to make us stop and think about it (and ponder as to whether he has a child!), because it does deviate from what I have always understood to be the generally accepted use of the phrase.

So, Dorit is Dorit and that's...whatever, but I don't think that some of the things we have heard her say about her possibly unaddressed needs sound unreasonable to me. Same with Kyle, to be honest. I find the "nag" label, along with that tired old "even her husband can't stand her" trope, to be pretty sexist though, and a low-hanging-fruit kind of thing (plus, what does it say about a guy who is allegedly being nagged so much, yet he doesn't just make a decision to...not be? You don't want to be part of a partnership? Then don't be).
I mean, who gets "nagged" usually? In my experience, it's people who consistently don't do what they have been asked to do and agreed to do. People -- even these fool HWs -- deserve to be allowed to ask for what they need in a marriage. If it falls on deaf ears, I guess they have to ask again. That's not "nagging."-

I’m really confused and think I must have watched an alternative version of this season seen only by me. Did no one else see all the scenes of Kyle coyly suggesting trouble in paradise (her marriage)? Literally pushing and poking at the women to ask her about it?! About her relationship with Morgan. I don’t understand the accusations now that Sutton, Garcelle, whoever were mean and nasty by asking questions. Kyle 100% acted like she wanted it brought up and got increasingly more agitated over the season when after the initial interest the women basically left it be.
She probably wants -- and would be relieved to have -- all of it out there (whatever "it" may comprise) once and for all, but doesn't want to be the one to do it.

It looks like Kyle has had a recent lower face lift which stretched her mouth lengthwise and took away some fullness above her top lip. Her jawline is tightened too much and makes her chin look sharp when seen in profile. She is now constantly Zoolandering, pursing and pushing the lower jaw forward for some reason, causing self inflicted prognathism which makes her chin look even sharper from lack of extra padding.
She had already achieved gorgeous beauty with all the little tweeks she has had done over the years, but then went for just one more procedure that was not necessary.
Maybe now that she is hanging out with someone so much younger than herself she thought she needed a tightening, but now has lost all the softness that should have been kept on her jawline.
I want a slight tightening, but I don't want to look like I had one -- who will help me?! It's 2024; surely someone has perfected this by now...and made it, like, $200 with a 2-hour recuperation! Is this too much to ask?!
I never had a real, ongoing dislike of Kyle -- she was OK, sometimes an asshole, other times fine. But this season, yikes (and that is giving leeway for the understandable stress-related reactions to her marital shit and to her friend's death).QuoteKyle needs to stop using her "children" as a shield. Not sure how many were upstairs during the weed party, but the three oldest are 35, 27, and 24.
I hate this. Some news outlets do this about the former POTUS's grown kids (plural, so not just the teenage one) -- it's so weird! (<NOT A POLITICAL OPINION; just making a comment!)

How messed up of Sandoval’s team to plant a rumor about Brock and Rachquel.
For this alone, Scheana could decide to drop him once and for all.
And what was it even about? Was he trying to say, "Not my fault -- she's a vixen no man can resist"?

Yes, I believe he is, but her mom and sister and such are telling him, in doing so, that he's not being supportive, which is hogwash.
He may be supportive. You’re more astute than I am if you can surmise that he is from this show. Neither that display in the bikini store nor the scene when Tori came in convinced me.
i don’t hate Brock and I don’t love Scheana, and I also don’t think that their marriage looks like it’s about to crash and burn. But he seems sort of clueless to me.

Hippy seems so calm & happy in the midst of what was likely a chaotic house with cameramen/producers/etc. Sorry, but I don't see an anxious dog prone to biting. Rachel can kick rocks with her rationale for abandoning him.
Well, we may not see that in the 5 minutes per week we see him. It's always possible. Or maybe he was anxious and/or has bitten, past tense. Who knows? I just hope that James is taking steps to address anything that may be going on with him so that he can be a happy dog who feels safe always. And again, those big mitts on him and his curly hair -- I love Hippie Graham!
As for Brock, I guess his ideas on what may benefit Scheana are perfectly valid. But is he telling them to her?

To piggyback on my previous peeve, customer service chat windows that close on you if you look at another page (like, you might need to do to find an order number or something!).
QuoteI suppose that often people are just trying to be friendly. Or perhaps they don't read social cues well. Or something. But still, when I'm sitting in waiting area in a place like a hair salon or doctor's office, or riding public transportation, and I'm reading a book (either a printed book or an ebook on my iPad mini or Kindle) - I hate it when a random stranger near me asks me if I'm enjoying the book, clearly just wanting to start a conversation. Geez. If I wanted to converse with them I wouldn't be absorbed in what I'm reading.
I hate even recalling this, but at one of my cats' final vet visit, I was sitting in the waiting room crying, with her in a carrier on my lap. Although the appointment was scheduled for after the regular office hours, a couple of other people were still there and about to leave. Well, one of them -- an older lady -- kept peering into the carrier and asking me about her. She just didn't put together what was happening (and, maybe she didn't know it was a FINAL visit, but I was crying -- like I am now, a little bit -- so at the very least, she should have surmised that it was something upsetting to do with my beloved cat). I ended up yelling at her a little, just a second before my boyfriend interceded. I am not proud of that, but I'm also not really sorry for it either.

Another thing I just thought of re. inappropriate laughing…an example of why I probably didn’t articulate very well in previous posts:
I'm not in the habit of reveling with glee when old dudes* drive off the road, but I did laugh a lot here when we all talked about Tom Girardi and his switchback mishap(s?). I know that none of us was like, “Yes! An octogenarian nearly met a fiery demise!” but it was a funny discussion anyway.
i just remembered that because I’m watching the second Housewife and the Hustler. I didn’t even realize that there was a follow-up.
*Not that he doesn’t deserve some kind of karmic shit-show, mind you!

OH MY GOD, phone reps, stop saying "uh-huh" over me when I am in the middle of giving you the long series of numbers you asked me for!

@TattleTeenyI also had a peeve regarding a medical issue that disappeared but did not receive any message telling me to move it.
Weird! Though maybe it was a casualty of the recent chnages?
There's a peeve: I always type "chnages" when I mean "chnages." < SEE?! I mean "changes." And I type the word often in my job.-

I can definitely laugh when I'm uncomfortable.
Haha, I wouldn't be uncomfortable; I would just think it's funny that Erica was such a mess that she did that obnoxious shit in front of everyone.
-
I think Erica was far wronger than the people who laughed! I would laugh too; I always laugh at inappropriate things -- or, more clearly, at people who are doing inappropriate things. I would for sure be laughing at, not with, Erica using profanity at a young kid for no good reason. I would also be telling het to cut the shit too, but her bad behavior (not the belittlement of the kid) would still be funny to me.
And I may laugh at that situation later when recalling it too (though I would try my best not to if I were on TV, so as not to make the kid feel bad). I've always been this way -- my sister, on the other hand, can keep a damn straight face while provoking me to laugh when I should not be -- weddings, toasts, speeches... Joke's on her though; once she fell down on ice and actually got a little bit hurt, nothing too horrible. I felt bad for her, but I laughed when she described it to me. Her face just said, "My mistake; I should have known not to tell you this."

OK, so, I heard/read something mentioned that Scheana, due to OCD* issues, has a hard time caring for Summer without her mom's help, which would indicate that Scheana's mom is at their place a lot. Someone(s) here mentioned that might be the case, but all I'd heard/noticed on the show itself was that Scheana had a hard time using anyone other than her mom as a babysitter. So, Brock's ire does make more sense to me now (but I still think he could be -- or at least act like -- he is more patient about this issue Scheana's dealing with).
Oh my goodness, I am quoting myself like a loon because I used the asterisk, but forgot to type my footnote! It's not that important, but I wanted to throw in that I'm guessing that part of Scheana's diagnosis is harm OCD, which may be what's causing her to think she shouldn't care for Summer alone. Harm OCD is a real bitch to live with. It's terrible.
And I am also guessing that Scheana knows in a logical, commonsense way that she is perfectly capable of caring for Summer--she probably does it frequently, without even giving it a second thought. But when that second thought (and third and 654th...) does show up, there's the trouble. logic and common sense don't always win--that's part of it, your brain tells you that those things may not be real (and then the "what if" part starts). Again, I am speculating about how it feels for her, but not as a total bystander.

This is getting strange. The whole point of this site was to snark on shows. Then we have the small talk (within show topics) and chit chat threads like this for nice communication between posters. I don’t get what they want.
I don't get it either -- especially the need to split up the peeves into specific types of peeves. I feel like it ruins the flow of the conversation to have to reroute. And, to be honest, I don't want to be part of too many threads!
ETA: For example, I had a peeve that was a peeve regardless of the scenario/location; the instance I shared just happened to occur at a doctor appointment. I got a message saying that it had to be moved to the medical peeves or whatever it is. No one was mean about it or anything, but it seems not necessary.

I thought you were going to make fun of her because of her tiny non-visible tatts haha! I never understood the point of getting the tiniest tatt in a place no one is going to see. I'm proud of mine!
Haha! I mean, I don’t generally fault people for wanting to be able to cover them if they so choose, but sure — why not add that to my Kyle’s Tattoos Annoyances List? Ugh, they’re so faint and poorly applied!

Commercials That Annoy, Irritate or Outright Enrage

· Edited by TattleTeeny
What the hell is up with the Kleenex lady cooking food on the stove? Is she trying not to sneeze? Does she want to sneeze but it won’t come out? Is she about to die? Whatever it is, she’s really overdoing it with the face acting.
And, ugh, Stouffer’s! “Meaty cheesy” is almost, but not quite, as stupid as “happyfull.”
