I gotta vent!!!

Ladybug724 — Wed, 22 Apr 2020 19:59:57 GMT

So sick of the dramatic piano music on commercials now! Every time you hear piano music you know it's a coronavirus commercial about stay home, "we're here for you", "in these uncertain times", wash your hands, etc. It's the same music. A piano with little or no talking. I can't believe I actually miss regular commercials!

Not even a blip on the radar of what is affecting me during this time.

Since this is a self-inflected wound, you can solve it. Unplug the TV and move back slowly. Feel better?

At least it's not the SPCA commercials. Oh my goodness those break my heart. I can't stand looking at those sad eyes.

They play them so often too!

I was wondering today - some things that "don't compute."

If we are staying home and no one is coming to visit us and we arent going outside ... why do we have to wash our hands? Do germs come through the walls and attach themselves to our hands? I'm up on the 10th floor .. even with my windows open ... what's the chance of the virus coming in the window and landing on my hands?
If it lands on our hands .... how about that slice of bread on the plate over there? Should I wash that also?

If everyone has to wear a mask outside (we do in NYC), why do we have to stay six feet apart? I can see staying apart if you aren't wearing a mask.
I'm on line in Walgreen's yesterday ... everybody is masked. marks on floor (stand here) six feet apart. Line was all the way down the aisle.
A friend of mine has a rather serious hearing loss and can hear where there are micophones or telecoils ... but in person - she reads lips. She's having a lot of difficulty these days. We communicate . via DMs and email or phone. There are a lot of "hidden" hardships.

Multiple times an hour during the day sometimes.

They have to be embarassed; I'm embarassed for them. AdWeek or some such magazine should do an article about those commercials. I find the overkill to be a disgrace.

For goodness sake let her vent... We know we can change the channel etc. but sometimes things just bug the hell out of you and what else do have to do right now. And @Ladybug724 the "thank you" in the sing songing voices drive me nuts too..

@ALRATIBA When we are in our home we only wash our hands as we normally would. We use hand sanitizer when we leave a store and that's about it. I wipe down my counters after we bring in groceries. Othan than we live a normal life in the privacy of our home. No one has been in my house since the beginning of March.

If I hear "We're all in this together" one more time, I'm going to run nude down the street screaming wearing only my mask.

I agree also about the SPCA commercials. It's those eyes and the shivering-all so sad.

I'm not always in the room but I can still hear the tv, but I mute it if I'm in the room now. You can't really escape it though

@Ladybug724

And they also use annoying piano music for that Pharmacuetical commercial too...

I cant grab my remote fast enough.....The reptitiveness, hitting the same chord on the piano keys over and over is as annoying as nails on a chalk board........

So true! And I'm not always able to change the channel like if I'm cooking or whatever
