The highest peeve (mine) yet low key commercial of the holidays. [View all]

Actually, for the past 3 or 4 years that Roku stick/YouTube is my absolute only media outlet, having cut satellite and pundits' mouthing off a decade ago, am able to escape various seasonal crazinesses. The YouTube universe has commercials but with the option of "Skip"-ping on a countdown basis (the "free"? version, have no idea about subscription type).

But despite this, the *one* commercial that seeped through (still susceptible to Skipping) to the top irritating spot: Something about sort of high end leather folders, billfolds, planners and such. Seems that there was only one version and I never let it play out, but it immediately irritated: The supposedly calming, luxury mood music, hands modeling a leather product or another, a cup of coffee, a leisurely pace of all the time in the world. Just couldn't click it away soon enough. It's still going on, the whole season.
