Something that annoys me

Okay, so other than the casual benign(ish) sexism exhibited in the advert (also I don't eat meat, mmm murder sammitch, but that is entirely beside the point), I hate that ubiquitous montage of the woman standing in front of the full-length mirror trying on all of her outfits before an Important Event. Dude, seriously, I know how I look in my clothes. I don't need to try them all on in front of a full-length mirror. In addition to which, if it is ACTUALLY important what I wear to an event I probably will have thought about it and come to a decision slightly in advance, so I don't need to piss about when I could be doing more important things, like fitting all my shit into a stupidly-sized clutch bag, or watching as much TV as possible before I absolutely have to leave.

To be completely truthful, there are times when I do try on all of my clothes in front of a full-length mirror, but that's mostly because I'm an insomniac with a mental age of seven and I still like to play dressing up.

ETA: I found the video on this website, which is a massive timesuck, in a good way. If you like Target Women you ought to find it interesting, even if you don't agree with all the conclusions drawn (I usually do, but not always).
