The strangest presentations to me are when they use models for perfume. 

 

Seriously?  What is the viewer supposed to learn from that!


I agree.  I would love to see a model spray and then make a face because they weren't expecting what it smelled like...

 

Also, I hate when they describe scents as "a walk on the beach", "a baby's head", "a feeling of peace" "the air after a rainstorm"...give me a break. What does that even mean? Just give the different notes of the fragrance.

The overfilling of the beauty cream/lotion/potion jar to show far more contents (an over exaggerated amount) than you will actually receive is annoying to me. Josie's whipped argan oil was like that, and so many people would complain that the jar may be 2/3 full when received (like the potato chip bag at the grocery store Smiley Wink ) The solution? They said to flip the jar over and tap it a few times because it had settled.

 

My biggest "Why do they do that?" is Philosophy demos with the body wash and the dumb bubbles. I literally do not care about watching a clear bowl of water magically turn into a mini bubble bath. This proves nothing and is just weird. I know they do it with other brands too, but P has been on a lot more than the others lately.

I've always been annoyed by this too. They do the same on the Perlier shows. The jars of cream are always overfilled during shows then when you get them home & open there's a huge air bubble and nowhere near full.

More to the annoying list of things on QVC............ Every time they show Squirrel Brand nuts, they have an empty bowl and they circle the jar around when pouring it in the empty bowl-- I always turn the channel. It's every vendor person too, so they must be told to do it this way.

Josie M.is no longer here to slather and dip. Of course there is still the Philosophy  play bubble mess using more than needed in an application.

I think my #1 pet peeve is the S-T-R-E-T-C-H-I-N-G of the fabric on the clothes.

 

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...

 

If you need that much room to "stretch," you should just order the correct size in the first place. Smiley LOL

OMG I am laughing so hard right now.  I thought I was the only one who thought this stuff was weird.  The fingers in the cream, the food sqwishing, the leather sqwishing, pulling the pants away from the belly.  Its funny
