I remember when JT recommended to buy a D&B FOR THE BUS DRIVER.  BOY DID SHE GET BLOWBACK.

There are many things on the Q that annoy me but the one that really grates is, "It's under $100," when the price is $99.99.  They are legally within their right and people read and retain from left to right, but it just annoys me.  How stupid do they think we are???

 

And don't get me started on the constant misuse of 'literally.'

 

Officially off soap box!

They stole that saying from Fawlty Towers, from 50 years ago.

How about the screaming of 'ANG E LAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!?'  Totally unnecessary and obnoxious.  Enough already.

These are all killing me-lol. I have to admit it doesn't bother me tho-I just chuckle. One of the things I do LIKE is when the host just admits the item is $40, when its 39.98 on the screen. It drives me a little nuts when they say "its under $40" but is actually $39.99. OK, thecnically, but...

@Peabelly It's so refreshing when the hosts round up, instead of "for less than 20 dollars.." Perhaps that .99 cent gimmick was effective at one time, but certainly not today.

Another pet peeve is when the hosts say, "Twenty dollars will get this home." How many times have I looked up to find that that's the Easy Pay! They are technically correct, but still.
