People Just Wanna Complain... Leave Your Droppings Here.

Yep, you read it.  I find it interesting how many people will jump on a bandwagon and complain about the community or the mods when one person makes a big enough stink to get their attention en masse.  

There is a rumor that you need to have a rational reason to complain.  You don't, at least not last time I checked the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.  We don't have to listen to it, but you have the right to do it.  You don't need someone else's drama to lend reason to your complains about your own life.

I saw someone made a nice little thread wherein you can list things you are grateful for, talk about bunny-rabbits and and eat Grandma's hard candies.  But this is the place to air your complaints about your life.  It may get stinky in here but the point is that we have a place to complain about the day, the week, our in-laws, our doctors, traffic, politicians, waking up at 3am and eating brownies,... you know, life stuff.

THIS IS NOT A PLACE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT CALORIECOUNT.COM OR ITS MODERATORS.

That said, have at it!  Complain away!  Air your grievances, but know that you may not like what someone else has to say about it.  

My biggest complaint at this point in time is that you're too far away for us to get together on a sunny deck, enjoy an adult beverage or two, and solve the problems of the world.

*cleans cat litter boxes and discretely leaves the clumps in this thread*

Things I have issues with...

1. Rude Drivers - its not just polite to use your turn signal, its the law!
2. People who break in line and then act like they didn't see you standing 3 inches away. 
3. Women who Dumb-Down in an effort to avoid putting forth effort.  
4. Women with massive, obviously surgically-enhanced breasts who dress provocatively then get mean when you look at their breasts. 
5. The phone company.  You know which one I'm talking about.  The BIG one.  Someone who used to work for them told me they actually train their CS reps to lie to customers who've been overcharged for something and tell them they will be credited on their next bill!  They do this because 75% of the people who have been overcharged will not pursue it further than one phone call.  It makes them money to make errors on their behalf.  Not me! I'm one of the other 25% - and I am relentless!
6. Firefox distributed a buggy update and it crashes my Norton AV.  I had to DL Google Chrome, uninstall FF and I don't like Chrome as well.  Boo-Hiss!
7. Reverse Racism.  Hey, just because I'm white and you're black doesn't mean I flipped you off in traffic because of that.  I flipped you off cuz you're an idiot and almost caused a wreck.  Race has nothing to do with it.  I'm an Equal Opportunity Flipper!  And I'm no professional but I think idiocy is human and not racially discriminate.
8. Republicans.
9. Blue Laws.  I still can't buy wine on Sunday!  Sheesh!

#9 is awful.

Aw, splitrail!  And you know we could do it!

pav - thanks for the prezzents!  I'll put them on the mantle.  

Look everyone!  Our first literal droppings!

My biggest complaint is that my game keeps crashing. That **** always pisses me off. :p

*wanders back into the thread*

*sees #8 on list*

*sweeps cat litter clumps back up and deposits them discretely in mspw's shoes* 

Oh thanks!  How thoughtful, pav!  My shoes needed freshening-up!

What game?  I run TS2 (The Sims 2) and I have to turn off all my background apps to play it.  Its a pain.  Then I have to reboot my system afterward to get all my apps running right.  

My current complaint is that I have work to do with an 8am deadline and everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, is distracting me right now.

My complaint is about spending money for school, specifically, $500 for textbooks. Even worse, having a professor who uploads that we need a required textbook 3 days before the first day of class, the day that he has posted readings from said book. Jerkface.

Also, I was unable to watch Wicked (which I've been meaning to watch for YEARS) because the free tickets were for today, the show was 200 miles away, and I was too busy prepping for the first week of school.

I'm broke, the financial aid refund check hasn't been mailed, my laptop isn't here, I don't have time to work out, and my fish tank is growing algae.

Bleargh.

Well, I have a tub drain backing up with weird gook in it...everything I've tried seems to make it worse. Snaked it, draino, industrial strength cleaner with lye. The next step is a plumber, which I can't afford but will have to find a way to afford it anyway because I cannot go without a shower. Whew, that felt good! There you have it. Otherwise life is super good...so all things considered, I am a pretty stinking happy person. :)

Sounds stupid, but rent a shop vac and try to suck out the gunk.  It works most of the time.  For reals.

Ick.  I hate gunk.  I also hate hair caught in the drain.  I don't like when I have a great comback that I've spent all day thinking about, and it bombs because the opportunity went by hours ago.

 Worth a try before I call the plumber. Actually it looks like it may have broken loose so I'll see in the morning. Thanks for the suggestion

*walks in and is nearly knocked out by the smell of cat poop*

i got poison ivy on my back because my aunt decided to tell me about the breakout of it on her arm aaaafter she hugged me. thanks auntie love you too!

I want to complain about my hubby.  He is overweight and he knows it.  This week he has started his new "diet".  His diet consists of eating whatever he would normally eat - but he claims he is eating less of it and consuming slim fast.  He claims he is eating less, but he refuses to listen when I say that a double helping of slim fast negates any effort he has put into eating less.  2 scoops of slim fast and 16 oz of 2% milk = 450 calories he would normally NOT consume.  X 2 a day and he is heading for weight gain, not loss.  You may as well have a cheese burger.

But no, I can't know what i am talking about.  I have only lost 37lbs (about 25% of my former weight), And I did it without slim fast and other junk.  But nope - I do not know what I am talking about.  There is no way I have any valuable input here.

::sniffs::
::makes face:: I'm so glad I have doggy doors so my kitties don't need litter

I'm annoyed because I have a job, got said job several weeks ago, have begun the training, and still have several more weeks before I can actually start and get paid. Stupid Tricare military insurance and all their stupid slow federal background check and the million years it takes them to process 6 sheets of paper. Stupid Stupid Stupid Beauracracy. I'm eating my savings like crazy because I need a steady paycheck and wouldn't it be easier to find civilians to work for them if they'd speed the eff up and let me go to work?

Well, my life sucks pretty bad.  Here are my main reasons to complain:

Lying, cheating husband

People ALWAYS park in my parking spot and it takes me 30-60 minutes to get them towed, and those minutes I'm not able to park elsewhere, I either have to drive around or go sit in a parking lot somewhere waiting for them to get towed.

I'm really poor and my parents are so rich that my dad buys a new car every year and has 2 boats- one yacht and a luxury speed boat.  I drive a BMW that is only 3 years old and I can barely afford to put gas in it let alone get it washed.

My disgusting mother-in-law forced me to get on depo provera, which has caused my acne, which my parents spent over $10,000 on laser treatments, medications, etc., on to get clear, to come back up again.  Now I look like a pizza.

I put on lipstick today and I looked like an 8 year old girl trying to put on mommy's make-up.  And it was nice Laura Mercier lipstick too.  Not junk.

I have two very big cystic pimples on my forehead that hurt like no other, and the rest of my face, again, is a big pizza.

I can't go #2 and I can't afford laxatives.  It's been almost a week since I've gone.

I hate my job.  I literally cry every time I have to go in I hate it so much.

I just want to cry, but nobody wants to listen to me.  All of my friends are either away at college or just too busy to talk to me.

I'm sick of cooking.  I'm too poor to buy new ingredients, so I always cook the same thing.

I have the worst OCD in the world.  I can't even sit on a toilet seat without putting TP down or I go insane.

And I have to go get tested for STDs because I married the biggest idiot in the entire world and god knows I probably have aids now.

I'm a very unhappy little girl.

• I hate my haircut
• I'm worried about my mom and my sister. All the time.
• My 4 brothers live too far away.
• The skin on my face is slowly sliding downward and is bagging a bit on my eyelids.
• I just met a new guy and have to suffer through the dating process again. I hate dating.
• While I'm at work, the dog likes to jump up on my bed and roll around, leaving black fur and dirt spots...but only after I've just washed my white bed spread.
• My job is stressful, but is a great job and pays well. So, I'm complaining that I have to earn my money.

*scans brain*

hm.

• I have to get a tooth fixed. 

My list of complaints is pathetic.
