Again with the annoying commercials!

I dont understand your point? You do know that convertibles have roofs, right?

Got a link?

I think it is because the wife does most of the shopping.

I had sort of understood that the usual maneuver was to hold the bra with the clasp in front, connect it, and then rotate it around the right way forward. Though on thinking about it, that might just be for ones without shoulder straps.

It’s harder to close the hooks when they’re in the back. It’s more doable to fasten it this way, but then you can undo the hooks while the bra is on the right way around.

I think there are two types of people who wear bras, those who can fasten them in the back, and those who fasten them in the front and twist them around and then put their arms in.

Each group thinks the other is wrong.

I’ve switched around groups over the years for no reason that’s clear even to me.

Part of the reason for hooking it in front and then twisting around is to um, “fill” the cups by bending forward and then pulling the bra up by the straps. Thus endith the TMI and hijack.

That’s what I do unless I do a pullover my head bra(sports bra) or none.

I hate the damn things so much I ain’t worrying about it more that 1 minute per day. If it causes pain I’m not ever gonna do it.

Enough with the bras :slightly_smiling_face:

I support that argument.

Currently, there is a prescription drug commercial (Trenfaya?) that talks about your symptoms being ‘a million miles away’. Only… you can’t get that far away and still be on Earth. If you travelled a million miles on earth, your symptoms (or whatever) would be fewer than 4,000 miles away. I know it’s a silly thing; but I already dislike medicine (and supplement, and hair) commercials, and this just adds to it.

I subscribe, if that’s the term to use, to a couple of “free” streaming on-demand channels, through my cable package. I say “free,” because the shows and movies are interrupted every so often by commercials. Meh, not a problem; I watched sixty years of TV with commercials; I can handle these.

But tonight! Jeez, I’ve seen at least 25 commercials for Disney/Pixar’s Hoppers. Sometimes three or four back to back.

I can put up with commercials, but for God’s sake, make them stop! I can deal with a lot, but when a three-minute commercial break is the same Hoppers commercial repeated six times, well, it’s time for the bathroom, another drink, surfing the SDMB …

ETA: Make that 33 Hoppers commercials. We just had a commercial break, and a bunch more “Hoppers” commercials, back to back. I went and got another drink. Hell, I needed one.

Have you seen the alternate version?

Re Trivago commercials …

I went to my nephew’s wedding last summer, in another city. I needed a hotel room, so I called a hotel near the venue. They quoted a rate, and said, “that’s the best you’ll find on Trivago.” And it was.

At the wedding, my sister, the classic penny-pincher, asked, “What did you use to get your room? Trivago or something else?” I replied that I didn’t waste my time with third parties; I just called the hotel, and made a reservation. Same price as Trivago, they said. And it was. Sis was floored.

When i book rooms, I usually use chains, and booking direct is always exactly the same as trivago, Hotelsdotcom, etc. I never see the point. I get a better discount from AAA (Not every time, some don’t even get that) if I get one at all.

Was that done by trivago? Was there a backlash over tooth guy?

Can I name the streaming channel? Tubi I’ve been watching a number of shows there and I swear, they constantly run the “Doug Jr” Liberty Mutual ad - like every break. At least they don’t do it multiple times in succession.

On my tablet I keep getting some truck ad over and over - not sure what it’s for since I keep the sound off and it’s only between game levels so I don’t miss anything if I ignore it and check eventually for my game to reappear. It must be programmed rather than targeted because I’m not exactly in the adventurous truck-buying demographic. I can’t think of any motor vehicle site or ad that I’ve looked at in the last decade.

The algorithms are mysterious.

Yeah, that’s an actual Trivago commercial. Saw it on TV myself, though it’s just been the original version recently.

Just his teeth, apparently.

They replaced the ‘teeth’ guy with Mr. Beast! :grin:

Here in California we are already dealing with campaign ads for the Governor’s office, which there will be a primary in June. One candidate has been running pieces heavily since before the holidays, and here is his creepy holiday ad.

By now we are inundated with his effing ads - every commercial break we have this guy doing his whole tough guy thing and making campaign promises he wont be able to keep. There is no avoiding Tom Steyer ads on any local station. My son is so turned off by him that he’s vowed to vote for anyone else at this point, and I am pretty much there as well. Someone please pull Tom Steyer aside and tell him to take a break from promoting himself - his ad strategy is doing more harm for his candidacy than good!

Tonight, four “Hoppers” commercials back-to-back. Even if I wanted to see this film (which I don’t), I think I’d stay away, just out of spite.

Another four “Hoppers” commercials in a row.

Then something anime, then a skin care treatment, then a Jeep commercial.

Honestly, the skin care treatment and the Jeep commercial are welcomed. Just no more “Hoppers,” please!
