What's Your Gripe

[redpaint]

I hate cold weather. Yes I know nothing can be done about the weather.

I hate the fact that every time I have moved away from here to get away from the cold weather...... I have move back.

I really hate to be in pain... But thanks to haveing RA That's how I live my days, in pain... Oh yeah cold weather does not help it any either.

I also hate the fact that I really could not come up with anything funny to add.

I used to have a LOONG list of hates...

But I found a way to simplify it.

STUPIDITY IN ALL ITS FORMS

It's stupidity that gets me, not the race, color, creed or gender of the person.

And I don't mean someone who suffers a low IQ. I'm talking about the willfully stupid.

As an example of the old/new list.

Parking in two spaces = STUPID
Blocking the aisle while you chat = STUPID
Injured due to inattention = STUPID
Playing the victim to get people to feel sorry for you = STUPID

I don't need to maintain a list anymore. I just have to hate stupid people.

I hate office politics where you're the new guy and don't know who the players are.

I hate it at Christmas time when you feel obligated to buy an acquaintance a gift, then they don't buy you anything. Hey, it's better to give than to receive (lol).

I hate black, dirty snow.

I hate it when it rains for days. I need sun and sunshine.

I hate it when the Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics, and Bruins lose when it was a game they should have won. "God damn it! Are you kidding me? My mother could play better than that. Ma! Get in the game and show them."

I hate it when I find a new scratch on my car.

I hate having no control over prices and the economy.

I hate when you vote someone in hoping for chain and they align themselves with the same people you vote out.

I hate it when the battery on your cell phone, flashlight, screwdriver or vibrator (speaking for my girlfriend, of course) dies just when you really need to use it.

I hate long lines at the checkout, bank, post office, and gas station? WTF! Doesn't anyone work?

I hate old people, who are obviously too old to be driving and why are they always driving in front of me?

I hate it when I go to bed too late and wake up too early.

I hate being sick. I don't make a good patient.

Hoping for chain?

I don't get it.

I don't get it.

Me either. I didn't realize that Freddie got into that kind of kink. I do get the girlfriend going through a LOT of vibrator batteries though.

My apologies for the typo. I type faster than I read (lol).

Hoping for a change and not a chain

You should have just posted a LINK.
(HAHAHAHAHA. God, I crack me up! )

I hate lists of things people hate.

I hate beer bellies, especially on women (lol).

People that try to imitate a southern accent, thinking they're cute doing so. It can't be done successfully. Just stop. You don't look cute, just stupid.

 

[michchick98]

Four way stops.


Otherwise, the rule is: when in doubt, yield right.

Okay, this is something that's always puzzled me since the day I started learning how to drive.

We're told to let the person to the right go first at a four way stop. I get that, but if four people approach the stop sign/light/whatever at the exact same time, isn't everyone to the right of the other person? WHO THE HELL WOULD GO FIRST??

Thankfully, I've never actually encountered this problem.

I agree with you, just as they can't seem to copy a Boston accent either.

By the way, do you remember the actresses that played American Indians and looked nothing like an American Indian. That was dumb and insulting to the American Indians, no doubt.

Dancing With Wolves comes to mind where Mary O'Donnell (an Irish woman) plays an Indian by rubbing some dirt on her face.

I would agree with you except for the Mary O'Donnell thing. If you'd ever watched the movie you'd know she didn't play an Indian, but a white woman that had been taken in and raised by the Sioux. (and the dirt on her face bothered the shit outta me - Indians, in general, are extremely clean people)

My girlfriend is from upstate New York and she insists that I have a wicked Boston accent. I just don't hear it.

Now that I think of it, I guess I sound a lot like Matt Damon when he made the movie Good Will Hunting. Only, I'm wayyyyy better looking than he is and wayyyyy more modest, too.

[BOSTONFICTIONWRITER]

If you lived in my neighbourhood there is an easy solution to that. No one stops at stop signs anyways so you would be the only one stopping, but only because you are new

So what's your gripes, Princess and let's leave the Survivor contest and participants out of your list.

I humbly invite you to make a post of gripes to my gripe thread. It may relieve you of some of the stress you've been feeling lately.

C'mon, enlighten me about your gripes. There is no one else here, just me and you.

 

[starrkers]

My gripe: people who openly insult others and then try to claim it was a joke and it's the other person's fault for taking it the wrong way.

You like 'em apples! How do you like them apples lol!

People you pass by walking/jogging, you offer a smile: "good morning/afternoon" - simple social courtesy, and they just look at you . . .

Yes, thank you for your apology, Starrkers. I forgive you. I'm glad you finally came clean.

Everyone, give Starrkers a round of applause for being so brave. this wasn't easy for her to admit she was such an evil bitch.

How about, "Have a nice day."

"Fuck you! I don't wanna have a nice day. I'm perfectly content having a bad fucking day. Who the Hell are you to tell me to have a nice day? Asshole!"

Or how about the ones who ask you as they walk by you and continue to keep walking..."Hi, how are you?"

"I'm dying of fucking cancer. My dog just died. Someone stole my car last night. I lost my job last week. The foreclosed on my house and..." I yell after them as I'm chasing them down the street.
