Things I am sick of. →[More:]
1) Classic rock radio. Due to my bonehead co-worker, I have non-stop Boston/Led Zep/CCR playing in the background in our office all day. And this may sound redundant, seeing that it's a classic rock station (and an unimaginative one at that) but THEY NEVER CHANGE THEIR PLAYLIST. They apparently only have copies of four Zep tunes, three Bob Seger ones, and so on. HOW MANY TIMES CAN YOU HEAR "MORE THAN A FEELING" BEFORE YOU GET SICK OF IT?????
2) This is probably more obscure: We sell various Mexican-type food products, and my boss thinks that if you stick the word "homestyle" on the package, it automatically make the product better. EVERYTHING MUST SAY HOMESTYLE. (And have quotes around it for emphasis: "New" "Homestyle" "Thick Flour Tortillas". But that's another story.)
3)Advertisements. Actually, it's not so much the ads themselves that bug me, it's seeing them OVER and OVER and OVER again that just grates on my nerves. Let me just say that based on that idiotic ad where the guy leaves his house in the morning, puts on a bike helmet, and base jumps down to his car, I am never buying a Suzuki. Ever.
4) Television news programs that spend more time showing promos and "coming next" clips than actual news or information.
5) Phone spamming. Thank God I only have a cell phone, so I don't have to deal with much of this on my own time, but at work it seems to be constant.
6) I'm sick of hip-hop. There, I said it. I've tried listening with an open mind, and there is definitely some still out there that is palatable, but so much of what I hear, especially coming out of passing cars, is so incredibly bland and generic. It's almost worse than the boy-band plague of 1998. What happened to the lyrical gymnastics I remember from the good ole' 1980s?
7) People making lists of stuff they're sick of.
