I have worked at two different places, for one week each. Both of them have been factory work, and both of them had radio's in, and I've realised a couple of things:
1. Radio DJ's, especially on Essex FM (which I was forced to endure, as I couldn't get XFM on the radio) are a complete bunch of faggots. There are the most childish, rubbish crap-spewing people to ever have been born. They act as if all their listeners are about 4 years old. It's pathetic. Radio 2 is no better, which I had to put up with on the second week. Steve Wright is a complete t0$ser, for example.
2. Most radio ad's also treat the listener as if they are a child. I would never buy a product after hearing the radio ad out of principle, they're all sh!te.
3. People only want the radio on, so they don't have to talk to each other. If the wireless is spewing out some mindless crap, then people can get away with out talking to the person next to them. Then, when the news comes on, which is the only part I'd like to listen to, they talk all the way through it.
Roll on getting me a proper job!

That could never get annoying, surely? I betcha had a hangover too...
Most radio ads seem to be based on the following principles:
make them loud, make them annoying and make them repeat the name of the product or company/service as often as possible. Also make them go on forever.
They make me want to kill.

In other words something there should, in theory, be a demand for and a shortage of trained people in....ah you've got to love the mess we're in in the UK...
Possibly the most irritating things in the world
