Anybody else tired of hearing the following phrases in every commercial these days:

“In these uncertain times...”
“We are all in this together...”
“As we adjust to our new way of life...”

Jesus Christ it’s like a marketing firm wrote documentation for somber phrases and now every brand and company is trying to cash in on it.

The amount of emails I got when this shite first started from every single business I gave my email address to was staggering. I don’t give a shite how your team is “preparing to take every precaution against Coronavirus” Jiffy Lube, Dave & Busters and Texas de Brazil.

Anyway, here’s another thread to bitch about COVID-19, since the first 65 weren’t enough. Ready for this shite to end.

“With everything that’s going on” it’s important to remember that “in these uncertain times”, “we are all in this together”.

Yea, that was a little ridiculous. It was always from the "CEO" or "President" or someone like that.

Verizon store called me on my phone to ask if I needed anything. Yes. I need y’all to quit calling me to ask stupid shite.

I tell my old clients “you stay healthy out der, nah, cher!”.

They eat that shite up and it ends the call on a light-hearted, “oh shite I could really die from this” thought note.

There used to be an ad where the narrator said "the price of gold has changed!"

No shite, professor. It's electronically traded 24 / 7.

People have an aching desire to be part of a big deal I guess

This doesn’t really bother me. Maybe you run a small business and need new wireless accounts for some employees. Maybe you’re now working from home in a situation where WiFi isn’t ideal and you need a 5G hotspot.

Or maybe you need an extension on your bill.


It’s the company that I ordered a box of checks from 6 years ago sending me an email letting me know how they’re handling COVID-19 that’s annoying. Not a specific call directed to you.

Yes. Thank God they called me because I have desperately needed these things to run my business and was just sitting next to the phone waiting on a call to let me know they were available.

I set up all my preferences as DON’T CONTACT ME because I don’t have time for sales calls. COVID comes along and all of a sudden every vendor is disregarding that.
