Official COMPLAINT thread
 
As it is thundering outside ( isn't it December?) I will complain about this. LACK of cold weather and snow. I have no Christmas spirit. I have to work on Christmas. There isn't enough XF on tv. I can't find a nice free cd burning site. I need to lose 20 pounds. Thank you, thank you very much...go on...let's beat out the Rumours room for most posts:):) :eek:

Janet 12-08-2004 12:43 AM

and it's 1 AM and my upstairs neighbors keep banging on the ****ing floor. WHAT IS THAT ABOUT!

estranged4life 12-08-2004 01:22 AM

The days...
 
need to be longer so I can have time to get thru the new music I receive :thumbsup:

tuigirl 12-08-2004 01:34 AM

I want to complain about brussel sprouts..they shouldn't be allowed, esp at early Xmas parties (like our work one last night!)

EnchantedSLN 12-08-2004 01:43 AM

-My Dreamweaver software quit working & I can't find the disc to re-install it.
-My suitemates are rude slobs.
-I got a $111 ticket for something utterly ridiculous.

seeker007nmss 12-08-2004 01:46 AM

I find a cool site with stevie videos and I can't find a way to view them.

gldstwmn 12-08-2004 01:50 AM

I'm tired of it getting dark at 4:30 in the afternoon. :(

AliP 12-08-2004 02:34 AM

I'm tired of it snowing two inches every two minutes and constantly having to shovel every time I go out.

I hate walking down the slippery steps to my apartment and EVERY time almost slipping on my ass.

I hate the fact that I have 3 more finals to take and I don't even have the motivation to study for them.

ricohv 12-08-2004 02:43 AM

I hate the fact that I left my cool little apt. in downtown Seattle to live in this blue-collar, redneck, white trash northern Boston suburb where there is not a f*cking thing to do! (But I love that my roommates have a nice computer w/ a super fast connection that they don't mind me using all the time-without this I would have no life, no Ledge, and no downloads! Sorry to accidentally brighten up this dismal themed thread!)

Janet 12-08-2004 04:07 AM

I hate the fact they are doing the 5-5-5 deal on tv AGAIN. UGH. ALL day, all night, making at least 3 pizzas at a time. It's so easy to fall behind. Anyone thinking of management for Dominos Pizza...DON'T.

Mari 12-08-2004 06:19 AM

I want to complain about censorship in PRIVATE messages at this site. If I can't say f u c k on the ledges, well... okay... but private messages?
Oh, and I also hate going home in the dark, and I think I'm underpaid at my job. Especially in expensive december!

amber 12-08-2004 06:53 AM

I'm drunk and i don't have an adequate snack! Gar, don't make me walk to the f******* store at 3!!! mmmmm.....burgers and chips....*drool*

My web site's service was shut down!
Now today I have to pay $60+ dollars to get a new on (Long over due anyways :rolleyes: )
I have had this cold for 2 weeks.
Van Halen, Fleetwood Mac, and Boston all need to tour again in '05.
Along with the tour you betta have an album ready! :]
If I see paris Hilton one more time I am going to be sick. SHE'S NOT EVEN ATTRACTIVE!
I have to go to the mall today to do christmas shopping! :eek:
Hummm..... thats all I can think of now but I am going to the mall, I will have a lot to say when I get back :mad: :blob2: :rolleyes:

Violet 12-08-2004 08:10 AM

I'm with Janet about the weather...I wanna wear my new coat! I want it to snow!

I proofread and printed (2 copies!) an 84 page transcript that I already turned in last week! THAT was a waste of time and paper! (exhausted dumb blonde)

My husband took a nice LONG nap yesterday while I'm running around like crazy trying to get sh*t done.

My cat woke me up at 6:30 this morning because he smelled the treats/catnip/toys I got him for Christmas.

I have a late job today and my husband is out of town, which means I have to rely on my neighbor to pick up my daughter at school, and she'll probably miss ballet.

I just want to go back to fricken bed.... :distress:

GypsySorcerer 12-08-2004 08:57 AM

Let's see......I have two papers due by Monday and I have exactly one page written, total. :rolleyes:

I have a friggin' mouse in my apartment.

My ass is too big.

That's it. :laugh:

TwistedGypsy 12-08-2004 08:58 AM

I hate when you get a call from one of your credit card companies at 8:30 am (I'm usually up at this time, but I don't want to talk to CC hounds). But the thing that gets me, this particular credit card my mother pays for me cause even though I'm on my own I still need help. But turns out she canceled it without telling me and they are calling to set up a payment plan.
WTF????? She's done crap like this before :mad:

Complaints
 
1. my job and this cold, dank office I have to work in. It would depress anyone

2. Like Mari, I hate going home in the dark. I just hate the short days. I feel like a mole-I go to work and come home in darkness

3. Like Janet, I wish it would turn cold and SNOW!! If it has to be dark it can at least snow! hehe

DrummerDeanna 12-08-2004 10:42 AM

I still have no Christmas spirit...

This guy who sits on the other side of an island from me is listening to audio LOUDLY - and when there's audio playing - he's whistling or humming - VERY annoying...

The guy in the apartment above me hasn't paid rent in five months- they're finally evicting him - and now he's being a complete jerk - stomping around - loud tv - etc...it's annoying...

There's a weird smell in my kitchen and I can't find the origin - and I"ve bleached the whole room top to bottom...:shrug:

ShangriLaTroubl 12-08-2004 10:51 AM

Working in Retail during the Holidays!! Nuff said right?


Idiots come in..like this lady the other day says "You guys dont carry any Narrow width's anymore...i used to could come here for Narrow shoes..now you dont have anything!" So I show her a narrow shoe and she goes "Well that ones ugly , doesnt help me.." So I show her tons more, and she says "of course all the ugly shoes come in Narrow."
lol

And we have a sign that says HOLIDAY SALE 30-40% Outlet Prices on Select Styles! (SELECT STYLES, DONT FORGET THAT PART!)

Of course when you ring someone up you always get someone who says "that was supposed to be 30-40% off" and i say "no only select styles..the ones with the red signs are the ones on sale.." and she says "WELL THAT SIGN IS DECEIVING!"

I hate some customers..MOST customers in fact

OMG - I don't miss my retail days - people try and get away with everything - they want stuff for free...I know enough now (from workign retail) to always read sale signs thouroughly....to avoid being an ass when I go to check out...


------

Now at my job I had a stupid person incident -

I went to press conference yesterday - arrived right after Channel 13 (tv station) - so the security girl lets them through then I tell her I'm also going to press conference and she says I have to go around the building - go through the metal detectors and stand in this HUGE line to get a pass....I ask why - the tv crew got in okay -

She says, "oh they're with the media...they have their gear...."

Okay, I says, "Yeah -I'm also with the media and i have MY gear..." So I show her my microphone and recorder and such (which is all official and clearly labeled from my station) - she says, "Well that doesn't prove anything you could have taken that from anywhere...."

At this point I"m getting pretty damn pissed off

So I ask her what her definition of media is - and she says I still have to go around...so I do because the press conference was about to start...

I go around and the metal detector guard open my bag, rolls his eyes and says, "follow me" so we go back to that idiot guard and the metal detector guy says, "She's with the press....it's obvious - she's got all the gear...the letter said to let all press in..."

The idiot says, "NO! It's said to let media in...er...I mean to let stations in..."

At this point i just got in her face and started yelling....I lost it...

I was like "What the hell do you think media is? Newspaper, radio and tv - what are you not understanding? Do you see this? It's a MICROPHONE - I don't have a damn TV camera - but I still work for the media..."

Also the other guards were yelling in my behalf to get me in - this one bitch wouldn't budge....finally the nice metal detector guard just got this stupid bit of paper - wrote WXXI on it - and the idiot let me through with that...I was SO mad...

My boss called the county when I got back and complained about the girl :D

pianogirl04 12-08-2004 11:35 AM

I hate having one radio station to listen to that isn't overrated pop or Christmas music.

It's 40 at night and 70 during the day. No wonder I've been sick twice already. I wish this freakin weather would make up its mind. Wishing for snow would be a long shot, but some cold weather would be really nice.

I can't find jeans that fit. One size is too big, the other is too small.

I have a history final Monday and fifteen chapters to read before then.

I have a final essay due in English Friday at noon and I'm comparing Live in Boston to The Dance. I haven't watched either of them in their entirety. And somehow I'm determined to get away with it and actually write something that makes sense, then again the professor has no idea what I'm talking about so I can do that.

I really want to go to the library and check out a dozen books before the holidays but if I did I'd never study. So I'm putting that off until Monday.

My school's on academic probation for a year now because it doesn't live up to the guidelines for academic freedom. I feel like an idiot for ever going there.

Humidity = frizzy hair. Breakouts aren't on my list of favorite things either, but at least I can cover that up.

I have to move furniture this weekend.

Great idea for a thread, btw. :thumbsup:

What an Ankle! (That's 3 feet below a C*#*nt) .....Sorry I hate when puny brains get a little power and can't handle it.

And on the lighter side.....


Three words that should be banned from Ebay descriptions.....RARE,,,
Must See..... They usaully aren't and not worth looking at..... If I see another "RARE Fleetwood Mac Rumours Albumn" (Gee they only printed...what 6 million?)......I may hire that ghost with the sandwhich to hex them.

we listened to a AC station last night while eating out, That has decided to play Christmas music non-stop...But the music they played was GREAT!!!! Alot of classic rock Christmas songs which was a change.


Another complaint I have is why in the Wide, Wide World of Sports does a great band like Queen release 4 two-disc DVD sets in about a years time (Greatest Video Hits 1 & 2, Live At Wembley & the just released On Fire-Live at The Bowl Milton Keynes 1982...That's 41 music videos and 2 complete concerts, With another concert set & Greatest Video Hits 3 on the way) and yet all we get from the Mac is the Live In Boston set???

You should have mentioned the service where you can take a hammer to her feet, spread them out a little and then she could fit a normal width shoe fine.. :nod: :eek: :laugh:
I hate working in retail at xmas... I get 1 day off in the two weeks around the 25th... Yes I get the 25th off!!! :rolleyes:

madformac 12-08-2004 01:46 PM

Oh I forgot, as it's a complaint thread, I'm going to complain that every pen I pick up lately, the ink dries up.... I'm not kidding, it's starting to get to me... :(

Just thought I'd share that one... :shocked: :nod:

Great idea...lol..it's worse when their feet are too damn big for the shoes and they squeeze those huge things in there anyway....i dont get it...why do ppl want to be a smaller shoe size? I can understand not wanting to go up in a pant size..but a shoe size...who cares? You would be surprised at the ladies who come in and say "i wear a six" have these HUGE nasty feet..and im thinking NO YOU DONT..but they will try one on anyway

Same here! Might be the same site. I was all psyched and then I couldn't get the videos to play on my PC.

Then I thought I might get an A in my French class, but I had to do a group project, and this chick I had to work with f*cked up the one thing she had to do. I did almost the entire freaking project, but she did her part at the very last minute, and I would have proofread it, had she given it to me to look at. There is no "a le" in French!!! That's grammatically incorrect! We got points off the stupid project because she was irresponsible, and probably drunk and/or high. If I get a B, it's her fault.

I feel fat lately. I fit into my clothes just like I always have, but I feel fat. It's an obnoxious state of mind.

One of the people I love most in my life has NO IDEA how much I love her.

I'm surrounded by racists and homophobes!

That's all for now.

The worst is the Christmas Eve shoppers who seem shocked when the store is closing at 6:00, hellooooooo!!! I don't miss retail either, bless you everyone who has to deal with the public!

  • Spilling coffee on myself, WTF???
  • The woman next to me who listens to these stupid tutorials out loud (I gave her a set of headphones to silence her)
  • My car will not pass emissions inspection and it is a TOYOTA, ugh
  • I just had my car painted but already have no less than 8 dings in my bumpers (was expected but still...)
  • Christmas, what an f-ing commercialized pain in my rear!
  • "Feeling fat", I totally identify with that Hill!
  • Get up, go to work, go to gym, have dinner, rinse repeat, ugh!!!
  • My roommate is "naturally thin", eats cookies/brownies/ice cream every night and it never shows.
  • Not having enough time for the hobbies and friends I want to spend time with.
  • The Java book I have been testing. What am I doing testing Java? How did it come to this?
  • Not having enough money to take all the fabulous vacations I dream about taking.

And my list is meek compared to some of your complaints. I hope you all find some peace of mind and comfort and joy this holiday season!

Thanks for starting this thread, I feel better. Hehe.

sparky 12-08-2004 02:57 PM

My complaint ? I have to pay more to fly from LAX to Portland than it would cost me to fly from LAX to Miami or New York. Damn Alaska Airlines ! Damn Southwest ! Damn them all ! :lol:

GardenStateGirlie 12-08-2004 03:15 PM

-the $1,100 I had to pay to Buick to fix my car
-the $240 I had to pay to Gateway to upgrade a monitor which I shouldn't have paid for at all (thank you Gateway and your false advertisement -_- )
-the fact that it's December 8th and it's 62 degrees out here in NJ...wtf?!
-i'm at work until 8 :( (Suze, I hear ya on the rinse, lather, repeat)

Thank you for allowing me to rant :thumbsup:

Merf 12-08-2004 03:35 PM

The fact that my house is incredibly stifling thanks to the 70-degree weather outside -_-

My car was making a terrible noise, and I went to get it fixed and they ****ed up my heater/AC-- no air is blowing out -_-

People from work keep calling me to work tonight or tomorrow morning and making me feel guilty (hello, some of us have plans and finals to study for) -_-

I tried Jameson whiskey for the first time last night and I have a splitting headache -_-

My 14-year-old cat has an incurable case of fleas and his favorite place to sleep is MY BED -_-

That chaps my ass big time. It's almost as if they're trying to get everyone else to slow down--trying to set the speed limit. It also bugs me when trucks drive in the left lane...here? it's illegal so GET OUT OF THE LANE. Sheebus...

Along the same lines - if you realize you are going to miss your turn - own it and go up to the next street, turn around and come back to it. DO NOT BLOCK SEVERAL LANES OF TRAFFIC while in a hazardous manner crossing over to the turning lane. AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I cannot tell you the number of people I have yessled at for doing this - infidels!!!!
