yes and they do all this testing without wearing hairnets either. Hair falling in their faces, etc. I love it when they are wearing gloves and touch everything and go back to testing. sure!! tight pants and low tops are mandatory in some jobs.

Glad I have a remote channel changer, and even gladder that the batteries work! It's so bad my 80 yr old my Mom watches DVD's or older tv shows. I don't see why all the stars have to be picture perfect, if you watch shows from other countried, their actors are more realistic.

At least you can change the channel or even turn off the TV but I work at a high school and that's how the principal's secretary dresses and that's perfectly executable in our building. We usually know what color her panties are too. It's really terrible.

Maybe they are trying to get the men to watch so we don't have to watch wrestling or continuing sports all the time. I'm not interested in those shows but at my house it's either wrestling, football, or horse racing 24/7! I do a lot of quilting, reading, or computing! LOL

How about the 'news' with the host in a suit and well groomed and the hostess dressed to go barhopping? On every channel.

Second peeve: hair-tucking. All these heads of long hair and women constantly hooking tresses behind their ear(s). Most gross when bending over a ripe cadaver or bloody corpse.

Third peeve: no handkerchief, no bandana, no tissue. Swipe your eyes with your fingers and don't forget to be careful with that mascara. Once only little children did that, adults knew better.

For a while now, even before Sheen left, I have wondered how they get away with the things they say and do on Two and A Half Men. Most of the others are almost as bad.

Do you really think a real CSI would be working in a white pants suit with high heels and her hair hanging all over the place? And do you really think they wear long sleeve jackets in Florida when they work? Come on, TV, get real!

And then people complain about breast feeding in public. Are you kidding me? Those mothers are more covered up than so many other women are in public .... it is not just on TV.

The thing is though; in our real lives they aren't allowed to dress like that. I'd be sent home immediately if I came to work with a low cut top or even straps instead of sleeves. No wonder these young kids coming out of high school have no idea how to dress when going for a job because they think that is the way it is. But it isn't, at all.

OMG! Is it my other self at mycquilter? Those are many of my own peeves (politer way of stating my thoughts) lol. Especially the comercials coming louder when you are watching the program in bed and dozing. It always happens just before the tv shuts off with the timer. DRATS!
