Having great trouble with simple tasks
The Wife particularly detests the ads that show someone fumbling a simple everyday task—like pouring milk—to improve the credibility of the "solution" being advertised. The fumbling is important, because the solutions are generally useless—mainly because the tasks do NOT cause problems for most people, only for the awkward incompetents in the ads. Someone has done a great service by collecting all the "before" parts of those ads:
You’re right that the solutions offered are usually useless, but I can sure relate to just about everything there. My foot constantly gets caught in the hose, the Tupperware is usually flying out at me from the cupboard, and my son still can’t pour a glass of milk without spilling some…even at 25!
