It's said by people who really have nothing to say, but they want to be deliberately rude and it's a way for them to squeak by being "acceptably" rude.
I would never apologize for being snarky to anyone who pulls either phrase out of the old dirty sock drawer. It's not like they aren't being deliberately snarky to start with, so - yeah..... Reaping, sowing...that's how it works.
This is a subject that will NEVER ever change. For everyone who feels as you do, there are those who are tired of the never ending posts complaining about the repetitiveness of QVC, or how QVC is now one big infomercial (this one really cracks me up as it's ALWAYS been an infomercial - they are here to sell not entertain), how the hosts are the worst and the list goes on and on and on.
Could the posts be ignored...sure they can, but why should some be allowed to indulge in the endless repetitive whining and others be chastised for contributing to the endless inanity with the same endless but very true response?
@Buck-i-Nana, I was speaking less to the subject of repetitivesness in programming than to the standard pat phrases people use when they want to be rude without being called out on it. As I mentioned, "Change the channel" and "You're just jealous" are only two of them. "You obviously need to get out more" is another. I hope you get the picture now. I was commenting on the snotty usage more than the "thread issue" as it were.
I got exactly what you meant and I disagree. In the case of "change the channel" it is fact. If you don't like programming or products offered whining about it on these forums isn't going to fix the problem, it's just going to annoy everyone who is indeed smart enough to change the channel and if they feel strongly enough about the situation address it with the people who can actually listen and perhaps change things or explain.
If my answer is considered snarky, then so be it.
LOL - why would you imagine that I would care if did consider your answer snarky?
The bottom line is, there are always going to be opposite sides on this and other long-term, yadda-yadda issues, and the same old-same old from *either* side is boring, trite and snarky. AFAIC it's still being intentionally rude, whether I agree with it in any given thread or not. It's not rude-if-I-don't-agree, NOT-rude-if-do. I feel that people can/should come up with more intelligent ripostes.

I use to watch a lot, until I discovered Evine and HSN. I think I watch Evine the most.![]()

They must have bought a million Serta mattresses.

Don't watch enough shopping channels to get annoyed. Something I do watch@ 3:00 in the morning while getting ready for work, or I am bored.

Why would anyone watch a shopping channel so much that they get sick of it? I just really don't understand that.
I do understand that the programming is boring most of the time and there's no way that I would watch for any length of time. So, that's the reason for my question.

I DVR the shows I am interested in and fast forward through them unless I see something I want to hear more about.

Totally agree !

It's been several years since I sat down to watch the Q. Products and shows are boring for the most part. Hate the LOUD, over the top hosts. Expensive s & h and I can get the same things for less $ elsewhere.

I have an idea!! People not happy with programs can check out Lisa Robertson's FB page!! She has some excellent interviews and lovely products!! 😊
