I really get annoyed when characters pull their iPhones out of their Prada bags and break a heel on their Jimmy Choos, so that the cuffs on their Dolce and Gabbana slacks drag along the dirty sidewalk and drive them to a fit of depression and an extra pump of hazelnut syrup in their Venti double half-caff, skinny-but-not-really toffee nut lattes from Starbucks to suck down on the way to back to their Silver Pine Mica 2009 Toyota Prius.
I think perhaps I missed a good bit of the reason for 'Sex and the City'.
Seriously, if it's not a personality quirk, what is the point of pinning down the trademark of every prop in a novel? I've run across this four times in the last six months and I hates it. Are the authors getting kickbacks? (Please say no, please say no.)
Does this irk anyone else or is it just me?
