Advert confusion
Me and a friend were watching TV on a Friday night in the first year of uni. We were watching Channel 4 and some rubbish programme came on and the conversation went as follows:

Her: "I can't believe I pay my licence fee for this rubbish"

Me: "Well you don't because this is Channel 4 and they're funded by advertising" (I didn't know then that Channel 4 do get some funding)

Her: "But the BBC has adverts"

Me: "No they don't"

Cue this repeating for about 5 minutes, me wanting to smash her head in with the nearest blunt object and her not believing me until she'd consulted the guy who was trying to shag her.
