Things that we are already tired of during this FUBAR fiasco.

The antics of the misadministration are a given, as are panic hoarders and price gougers. What else is annoying you?

Me, it’s the pointless, superficial, nonsensical TV commercials:

“No, I really don’t care about my crow’s feet right now!”

“Why do I need the latest spring fashions? No one is going to see them, and my family would rather have food!”

“You want me to go on vacation? Are you freaking kidding me?!”

1. Any commercial from Big Pharma for any prescription meds

Do you know how many BILLIONS of $$ they spend on advertising their products?

About $6 Billion for TV ads every year

Can you imagine if those $$ had been spent on preparing for this kind of crisis? Stockpiling PPE and ventilators?

2. My son postponed his wedding

Was supposed to be April 18. Now, who knows.
Before all this happened I was looking for the “perfect” shoes to go with my “mother” gown. So now FB is constantly showing ads for shoes - the same kind I was looking for - enough already.

7. Oh, I'm so sorry for the happy couple. I remember shopping with Mom and MIL for their

coordinating outfits, complete with hats and shoes. So much fun!

Hopefully, you family’s special day won’t be too far off.

5. My cooking

Sure, I could see this as an opportunity to improve my skill, but I'm sort of stuck with what's in the pantry.

9. The Extroverts!!

Felt a sense of relief, forced to shelter in place."Oh goody, I won't have to socially engage with anyone." Now all of a sudden the radio Dj"s touting Saturday night sing alongs out your window, nearby neighborhood having porch "parties". Along w every late night daytime host, celebrity feeling need to post comment on their status. GO AWAY!!! SHUT UP!!! Watch the news, read, sew, movies. I don't GAF what you do quit trying to engage those of us who like the solitude.

10. How about the Northern or Charmin ads for toilet paper?

11. I TIVO what little TV I watch, and skip through all the commercials.

So, for me it's "Problem Solved."

12. Saw gas for $1.89/gallon this morning on the way to work

I can finally afford gas to go somewhere, but I can't go anywhere.

Ah, well.
