Personally, I wish it would all go away (well some of it).

Oh this is not true. You should have seen my face everytime that "Chinet means you care" commercial used to come on. I bitch about advertising all the time. Just not here. Lucky for you guys.
Another thing, and maybe we can get this annoyance thing going after all. Tonight, waiting in line at the pharmacy, there was a little girl there, probably 8 or 9, and her jacket read "Buy me things and I'll be nicer." Is that annoying to anyone else?
And just one more thing, I didn't mean this thread to be mean-spirited or to give the impression that I was truly outraged over a bumper sticker, but looking back I can see how I gave off that impression. What's more, I don't think the message of the bumper sticker is mean-spirited. It just conflicts with my own lifestyle. I really didn't mean to turn it into an attack thread or to put down people who have bumper stickers on their car. I hoped it might turn into a simple thread where people could let off a little steam about things they'd seen and heard during their day that irked them.
