The GoodRx commercial where the waitress cannot afford the drug her son really needs.

Voice: GoodRx can help you save up to 80% on your prescriptions

Meanwhile the waitress is saving 86.7%.

BASTARDS.

People saying “blasé blasé“ instead of “blah blah”

“I asked the manager why our room wasn’t ready yet and he was all ‘blasé blasé‘ with a bunch of excuses.”

This can't be something that is widespread.

Not sure how widespread it is, but I used to have a co-worker who did that. Frequently. It drove me nuts. I always thought that I was justified in being pissed off about it.

That's not a thing. So it can't piss you off.

It's not IPAs per se that piss me off; it's the ridiculous popularity of them, which pushes out other styles. I went to a beer store in Buffalo to get a growler filled. Of 12 taps, two were out of order and seven were some variation of IPA.

But sometimes in my rage I think back to my teen years where the choices were Bud, Schlitz, Miller, and Busch and suddenly things today don't seem quite so bad. This is why the above shouldn't piss me off, but it does.

In this vein, I hate it when anyone calls into a show and starts off “Well, I’m a veteran (always pronounced vet’run)...”

Who the **** cares? We’re talking about the NFL draft!

In NYC there's a news radio station where they literally use a single man on the street interview to validate every story.

Basically:
- headline
- according to Joe from Hackensack...
- sound byte of Joe
- finish story

Definitely pisses me off

The ad popup at the bottom of 2p2.

Not that ads are displayed. 2p2's got to try to make money, I don't mind them trying ads.

That the only ad I ever see is for amazon echo dot. Close the ad, and a few seconds later I get the same ad.

Still not interested, and repetition is boring.

In Reno our CBS affiliate does the "ask a random ****wit" what they think about something 3 or 4 times a week. I'm beginning to suspect they're camping out in the parking lot of a special needs facility, because they run 99%+ on braindead idiots.
