Can I just kill them? Pretty please?

[ridicully]

One of the more annoying TV stations in Germany decided some time ago that a docusoap about vets would be a great way to make the boring afternoon even more boring.
Apparently there are really people who want to see it.

(On a side note, this brings a lot of problems, because people don't seem to understand the concept of airing date ≠ recording date, so people come into the clinic all the time, asking how some dog or cat we treated four months ago is doing.)

Anyway. Docusoap. Miraculously popular. This means a camera team shows up with depressing regularity to film anyone who doesn't run away fast enough or doesn't say "No" loud enough. Normally, I don't fall into either of these categories. Additionally, I might be many things, but photogenic I am not. So, I've avoided them pretty well until now.
Or so I thought.
Until I got a text from an acquaintance telling me they were watching me on tv.

Kill me now, please.
(At least they said I wasn't doing something cute and fluffy. I was telling an owner I couldn't tell him how much the procedure on his cat would cost, because there were to many variables to consider [meaning, he was a private patient of Prof. Blub and prices for those depend on the mood of Prof Blub first and foremost.])
Next time I won't bother with telling them not to record anything. I'll just leave the room. (Or kick the camera guy in the shin so he drops the camera.)

Ahahahaa! I knew that was your clinic and kept an eye out. Figures, the one evening I'm not bored enough to watch it (usually, I just leave the telly on after Gilmore Girls)!

Hey, wow, das hab ich heute auch gesehen! ;-)

Ich muss gestehen, obwohl ich normalerweise von Doku-Soaps die Finger lasse, mache ich hier eine Ausnahme, weil ich das mit den Tieren noch ganz nett finde. Oder zumindest hab ich's oft gesehen, wenn ich daheim war - jetzt komme ich dafür eh zu spät von der Arbeit. Na ja, heute hat auf einen früheren Zug gereicht, deshalb hab ich die letzte Viertelstunde noch mitbekommen - gerade rechtzeitig, dass so einem armen Kerl nicht genau gesagt werden konnte, wieviel wohl die Katze kostet, hehe.
Und ich kann mitfühlen: Wenn mich die Leute fragen, wieviel denn bei uns eine Steuererklärung kostet, muss ich auch immer ausholen, dass es eben darauf ankommt, wie umfangreich die ganze Sache wird... blablablubb.

oh mann, ich fühle mit dir. was ist eigentlich mit dem recht am persönlichen bild und deiner nicht gegebenen einwilligung? wieviel stunk und wie unbeliebt willst du dich machen? bei nächsten aufblitzen einer kameralinse schnurstracks den raum zu verlassen klingt wie'ne maßnahme. lassen dir die docs das durchegehen?

ich bin noch immer entzückt über goldfische reparieren... grüße auch an die naßnase.
