So I hate advertising. And not just any hate, really a horrible hate. I really can’t listen to radio.
Writing assignment #27
Radio
So I really can’t listen to a regular radio station. As soon as advertisements come on I become very irritated. And why? No idea. That’s just how it is. My husband listens to the radio in his car, so when the commercial suddenly starts, I really have to restrain myself from shouting: “off” or “turn it down.” I rarely listen to the radio in my own car. Then I time it so that it is not almost a full hour or half an hour. In the car I have a USB stick with a lot of music, which I put on random. And I listen to music from my mobile via Bluetooth. When I’m working at home in my office, I always have my Google Nest Hub on with YouTube live radio. Never talking, never advertising. Really delicious!
Television
Watching TV is not a hobby of mine. That’s not just because I hate advertising. I don’t like sitting on the couch in the evening and watching ‘something’ that happens to be on TV. I only want to watch TV if there is something I actually want to see. So I like watching men’s things: sports. That’s nice at fixed times that I write down on my calendar. The ladies sometimes want to watch a series, but we record it then, because then we can fast forward the commercials. Problem solved, nice and efficient. Or Netflix of course, always useful.
