I have an issue with hearing ... and certain female voices are like fingernails on a blackboard.   Even with my hearing aids programmed to address the issue, I have to mute most of the females on QVC.

The one thing that I cannot tolerate and refuse to watch: any vendor that constantly says "ummm".

Aww, @SunValley.  I'm sure your squirrel used some of that, and not all of it went to waste.

 

It's hard to furnish a squirrel-sized home.  Ethan Allen and other retailers do not offer a squirrel collection.  When you do find a nice piece, it's darn near impossible to get it up the tree and into your home.

So squirrels have to be resourceful and use what is around.  Gummy Bear didn't bother your patio furniture this year because the house is now furnished due to your lovely donation of nesting material.  Smiley Wink

Everyone is calling absolutely everything 'elevated'.  What is that even supposed to mean?  Hosts say it multiple times about each and every clothing item ever presented. 

 

The constant count down of how many dozen they started with in X color, and how many were ordered vs how many dozen they have in Y color, etc. Please spend the time actually telling me something about the product and then you might actually sell me one!!! 

 

I have to say, I can't listen to Jill because she talks in a sing-song voice.  I have to put it on mute. 

and the super hard sell from Amy is painful.  SO pushy. 

 

But the worst of all--the testimonial calls.  The worst.

I think the only thing that bothers me is banality. Everyone has the same presentation. It seems to be happening a lot more with the new host choices or to do with losing those who have left over the last ten years or more for me.  And to be honest I've watched since the revolving set. I may not have liked every personality that has ever aired but I sure have gotten a kick out of of their distinct way of presentation and I have to say I miss the rainbow.

Constant host bashing really bothers me.   If I don't like their presentation, I turn it off.
