the stupid little gripes thread

[danakscully64]

When I went out front to feed my neighbors dog, I realized that someone had tried a big yellow string to my sideview mirror and wrote "Beatles sux" on the back of my car near my Beatles sticker. Luckily the marker was washable, but I'm guessing it's stupid kids who did it. Don't parents know where their kids are in the middle of the night?

As a fellow pianist, my gripe would be that I have nowhere near the ability to play the Pathétique Sonata - and will not for quite some time! Heck, the score is enough to make me dizzy!
Trust me, I die a little every time I open that book. I'm doing it George Lucas-style. I started with the second movement and now I'm doing the first. And if my dad thinks it's going to be ready to play on tour in July, he is sorely mistaken!


I hate limp lettuce! No more limp lettuce! They can put a man on the moon, but they can't invent a lettuce that stays fresh for more than 12 seconds?
Same here! What really annoys me is that my school is so cheap (not for lack of budget, I don't know why they do this!), is that for individually packed salads, they won't put fresh hunks of lettuce in there. Oh no. They'll put the little shredded kind you find in a taco. Pre-limp. AS A SALAD.

I just found out that my dads car had lipstick on it ("Your mother eats P****"). Either it was stupid girls having a sleepover or the girls meant to get my neighbors house instead (the guy next door has had his car written on multiple times from his high school friends).

I just recently had my car vandalized...2 slit tires and a brick through the rear window. Installed a motion light....

Motion light pops on and off all night, even when there is nothing there! I pop in and out of my chair all night looking like a jack-in-the-box!

That's awful... people are so mean. Do they even realize that you have to pay out of pocket for it?

I wonder if your motion light is detecting animals (maybe cats). Or if it's really sensitive, maybe bugs that fly past. We have a motion light too. My dog didn't bark... she was probably in her dog house. If I still had my dog Nikki (who died 4 years ago today :(), she would have warned us!

This is weird, but I always mix up George Orwell and Orsen Wells. No, I don't know why.

I am SO ready to trade my bf in for a nicer model. Seriously.

It was insanely busy at work today. I feel like I gripe about it a lot here :brood:

Why did I turn down an interview at another place? :no:

That would be a good idea if I wasn't at work!! :wall::cry:

I have a headache.

Nobody will resize my ring for me TODAY. They want me to leave it with them for a week. I want to wear it NOW.

Thank you, that is all.

PS No it isn't. I hate this:

I want to strangle the guy working on the other side of the door. He's TOO LOUD.

I have a bad rash on my arm from working french fries 3 times last week :(

I live in a dorm and we have cleaning people, who have a habit of popping up whenever I don't want to see them. For example: I am not a morning person, I take issue with being bothered by anyone- even my mother- when I first wake up. When I am just re-adapting to the real world I don't want to see/hear/talk to anyone, but the cleaning people have a habit of forcing their presence on me.

[Cue me being irrational]

I don't understand why they must bother me with their morning greetings as I am leaving my room for the first time or brushing my teeth or coming out of bathroom stall... it's like why can't they just ignore me. In my waking moments any words from any semi stranger is horrifying.

Like I said I'm not a morning person... AT ALL.

On a less irrational note, at least once a week I end up 'waking up to' or 'waking up because of' the loud broken english of the cleaning people. One woman in particular has a habit of talking very loudly on her cell up and down the halls, all morning long... and especially in the bathroom that's right in front of my room. It's seriously disturbing when I'm sleeping, trying to study or walking in the hall.

To make matters worse this dorm's cleaning people literally look like the people from "The Hills Have Eyes" and the male ones are just a little too friendly. I make a habit of avoiding them, but they have no consistent schedule, they just do whatever whenever, which of course means I always see them--- EVERYDAY.

PEOPLE TYPING IN ALL CAPS.....See? Isn't that FREAKING annoying? Arghhhh!! Grrr!!

[danakscully64]

I was doing my bunny a favor and trying to transport him outside to run around and I got stratched all over. I did end up getting him out and he had a GREAT time, so it was worth it :)

people who wanna debate every little thing with you.

'I'm a vegetarian'
'Why'
I'm running to the bathroom'
'Why'

:rolleyes: That's my mother. Every time I make a statement about something, she always has to respond, "how do you know?"

Me: "it's going to rain tomorrow"
Mom: "how do you know?"
Me: "that movie was banned in Thailand"
Mom: "how do you know?"
Me: "there was an earthquake in India"
Mom: "how do you know?"
Me: "vegans don't eat honey"
Mom: "how do you know?"

[danakscully64]

That would drive me up the wall!

[Amy SF]

Once again... :brood:

I'm simply at a loss for words... :brood:

Isn't there ANYBODY downstairs who knows how to schedule exams without screwing them up? :brood:

[danakscully64]

My Mom is being so annoying. She's talking about maybe doing dog grooming part time. She keeps talking about how good the money is, but isn't taking into consideration the fact that she'd have to buy a trailer, supplies, and maintaining an SUV for hauling the trailer. She keeps calling me negative, even though I've said 5 different times that it's not negative, it's called realistic and to consult a stupid dictionary. :grr:
