Relatively trivial things used to distract us from more serious matters.

[I'm With Stupid]

Most of these warnings are repeated so often they lose their impact. People just zone them out. There is also the argument that the more you lecture and dictate to people it has the opposite effect. People get fed up and do it to be a rebel and to spite the constant drivel being fed to them, as well.meaning as it might be.

I phoned up the passport office once and the first thing on the automated phone message was a warning not to abuse the staff. My immediate thought was 'Oh no, they've clearly got shit customer service.' Otherwise why would anyone be abusing them?

They tend to do that in places where people are liable to be cunts. Like...

Depressing that so many people need to be reminded to not be a dickhead, but there you go.

Most people are good people, we don't and never will live in a vanilla world where everyone behaves.

Reminding people not to be cunts isn't going to stop the cunts being cunts, it just gives the preachy cunts a reason to preach.

I know I like a bit of a moan every now and again but come on!

They should have adverts reminding everyone not to go around stabbing people with machetes .

Point of order.
You cannot stab someone with a machete.
You hack them and I suppose if your aim is not very good you could slash them but, as there is no pointy end, you cannot stab them.

Unless of course you were being sarcastic.

Were you ?

Edit: I see the great @Lavinda Past has already commented on this post that was clearly made in haste and therefore without thought.

I find the automated message of 'your call is important to us' annoying...if its important answer it...

They should re-work the public informatoin adverts from the 70s

"Charlie says don't be a c*^t"


"I wish I didn't keep losing my birds!
Well, stop being a c*^t"

Learn to swim you ****.:-)

Petchoonya and Jerr would be a better choice for this one.

We're experiencing unusually high demand at this time.

Or those ones that are 'experiencing a high volume of calls at the moment' every time you call, no matter what the time.
