Actually I've never given much thought to complaints or to put it into perspective, things not being the way that I feel they should be.  Seems to me most complaints are founded in opinions.  We all know where opinions get us, in trouble.  Just saying. 

Like everything that happens in our lives we need really take a step back and look at it a little better, as they say 'in the light of day'. 

#767   Why can't Halloween trick-or-treaters come looking for fruit, nuts, and trail mix?   That way when I buy Halloween stuff and not quite enough trick-or-treaters come over, I'm not stuck with 5 packs of candy I have to eat.

I just give the candy to my next door neighbor's kids

Dern it, now you're having to make me form a new complaint.   Okay....

Why does the media feel compelled to let us know all about Kim Kardashian's divorce?   Do we really care?   Okay, so they fought like cats & dogs negotiating the prenup and it was obvious they should not have gotten married in the first place.   So, a couple people were stupid and got a divorce?   Boy, that's never happened before.   And Kim's not that good looking anyway.   Okay, so she's good looking...she's not THAT good looking.   Now, Princess Kate Middleton:   now SHE'S hot.   Okay, so it might not go over too well if I start hitting on the British royalty's wife.  But what do I care?  I'm not British. 

I want to complain about all these complaint threads.

It's doing my head in

Why do the strangest threads always get necroed...

Why does everything I like get discontinued... anyone remember crystal pepsi?

I am more of a Dew Blast man. 

It's getting COLD outside.

Well think man and get your ass inside so you can stop complaining about being cold.

At least you can go inside and rug up to keep warm.

I have the opposite... it's getting too f**king hot outside... and there's only so much one can take off before they're arrested for indecent exposure.  So for about the next 5 months I'm not going to be venturing outside too often.  Though staying inside too keep cool with air-con is an expensive exercise nowadays....  F**king power companies, jacking up the price of electricity annually... sometimes at the rate of 17 1/2%.

Here's one for ya!  My neighbour across the street went away for 3 1/2 months earlier this year for a road trip with his caravan club.  He turned off everything at the main switch in his meter box on the wall outside, yet he came home to a $120 electricity bill.  Why?  Because [he was told] consumers MUST use a minimum amount of power OR be charged for it. 

So, if I want to economise to save for an essential or important item, and live by candlelight, cook with gas, run no electrical appliances whatsoever, I'm still being charged for usage? Tell me how the f**k that is right!

I really don't like services that try to force me to have a password that is a certain way when I know that most passwords get stolen because of the service's only lousy security.

Actually, ..I use the "Accelerated time strategy" every time I'm out riding my Harley. Keeps me safe.

I hate when people talk about things that annoy them, because if you talk about something like that then on some level it wins.....

I hate it when you're in a store and need a salesperson, yet all are so busy trying to avoid you... er, work, they actually appear to be busy when they're not.

Another thing I hate about salespersons... when you clearly state that you're shopping within the constraints of a budget, yet they continually present you with the more expensive items in stock that are well above the stated amount.

The beta isn't out yet... 

Then you are part of the problem and not the solution. All socialist regimes end in totalitarianism and financial ruin - thought you studied history?

You should make amends by giving all your free time to canvassing for the conservative party. For the rest of your life.

That's never going to happen... NEVER, I say.  The day I canvass for/say anything good about the Libs will be the day those nice young men in their clean white coats are coming to take me away ha-ha, he-he, ho-ho.... for I will have completely and utterly lost my mind.

Being a formerly staunch Labor voter, however, does not mean I'd cast a vote for the other side.  In fact, there isn't a politician/political team in Canberra that I'd support or trust.... so I wouldn't p!ss on one even if they were on fire.

Anyhow, thanks for that. After all the complaints regarding toilet paper and etc, I'd lost perspective and overlooked the political rant.

Now for something completely different....

Another thing that pisses me off severely... all these high and mighty snob types who wish to appear better educated than the rest of us and use a foreign language [often French] to describe their feelings or an attitude toward something way up there, fantastic and/or beautiful.  Like WTF is that all about?  I mean, what's wrong with "Oi, that's bleedin' good, init"???  No need for a plum in the mouth there, and it's direct and to the point.

So no, speaking English then inserting a phrase in French does not impress me one bit.  Frankly, seeing it in movies and TV shows is nauseating enough, but if somebody did it right there in front of me, seriously, it'd take me all my self-restraint not to slap them about the jowls.

And while we're on the subject of language, wot's wiv this 'Boston Tea Party derived', Yankee spell checker telling me that my proper English English is wrong?  Get over it, I'm going to add U's where they belong and put S's where a Z should never be, orright.!!!

Why don't all the leaves fall off all the trees at the same time, and be done with it. 

And why can't flowers all bloom at the same time, and be done with it?

Simply sublime....;)

Captchas......

I'm a HUMAN, dammit .... not a BOT .... so why the hell can't I ever get one to work first time?

Tried to update my Choice Subscription with new card info ...and the captcha had me in an endless loop.

Then Choice emailed that my renewal was rejected.

I emailed back that I gave up after a dozen times.  Fix your site or do it manually....;p

Okay, I'm going to just complain about Quebec.   The whole bloody province.  Folks, the French lost the war 300 years ago.  The rest of North & South America speak English and Spanish.  You're making it hard on the rest of the continent because you're the only French speakers in the hemisphere who don't live on some remote island I don't care about anyway.  And now I can't get around Montreal because all your signs are in French.   So change up all your signs to English so that American tourists can get around, cause you know it's all about us.

'Cos then you'd only have a limited window of opportunity to stand on a street corner and write a beautiful haiku on the joys of autumn.

Have you ever lifted a bag packed with leaves? Try getting two or three of those dumped on your head in one go. Sure, they look all fluffy and cuddly until they gang up on you.

And they DO gang up on you, sooner or later. Believe it.
