*Nothing* grinds my gears....

More than commercials. They have, for me, made watching "regular" TV simply unbearable. And those ads are repeated with every commercial break. I think I will throw up in my mouth if I see that damn Chevy truck ad - the one with the Santa Claus-looking dude who travels north to Akron - one more time!!
And yet, the folks I live with get thoroughly indignant when I engage the mute during commercial breaks. What, you *really* want to hear this ad for the 500th time this month? Didn't we just see this very same ad during the last commercial break?
For this reason, I only watch things like Nat Geo, Smithsonian channel, and the odd (US) football game or auto/moto racing. Everything else is so polluted by commercials as to be unwatchable. IMHO, of course...
