Pet Peeves, Vol. 9: Buy Now, Pay Later… Right?

Category: Business
Duration: 00:27:37

Description:

It’s been 27 months since this series’s last installment, which means David has had time to quietly bottle up a fresh batch of entirely new irritations—all original, no repeats. This year’s edition takes aim at the slippery phrase “Buy Now, Pay Later,” the suspicious preface “If I’m being honest…,” and the curious cultural surrender embedded in “In my day…“.
Along the way, there’s a certain Halloween-sized marketing sham, a conversational tic that may deserve early retirement, and a high-decibel train experience you may never un-hear again.
Part humor, part language audit, part cultural critique—Pet Peeves returns to remind us that words matter, incentives matter, and yes… it is still your day.
