A couple more……

People at the bar calling the bartender "Hey" or "Buddy" or "Sweetie" when they don't know them…….or pounding on the bar with their empty glass or bottle……..

People who call you "big guy", "big man", "pal", "Partner" or "buddy" when they don't know you that well at all…...

People who sit outside in their car while they scratch their lottery tickets only to go back in and take more time from us!

And also anyone who thinks that Gampel is that much better of a home court advantage than Hartford could be…..(back at ya bass - lol)
 
Cigarrette smokers. I hate how they smell and the fact that none of their cars contain ash trays. The world is not your garbage pail.
Slow drivers in the passing lane.
Cell phone talkers while driving.
s that think their vehicle can drive at any speed in any weather.
People that talk in the middle of aisles instead of moving to the side.
Texting instead of talking. Sometimes a call just makes sense.
The difference between what I pay in interest on my home and what I receive in my savings account.
Anyone that seems to live their life with their head up their arse. Either pull it out and act like a normal person or move to the side and stay out of my way.
 
Jeff Hathaway. STILL.

The stupid, stupid profanity filter on this site.

CNN - whenever I went to the gym this week, they were rehashing the Duck Dynasty "controversy". Now, I happen to think the guy should get fired, or whatever, but I don't think CNN should be spending 20 minute chunks on this, there's clearly more important issues that actually impact people's lives. But they are trying to prop up their ratings just by getting channel surfers to spend 40, 50 seconds...

Christmas music at the mall. Not the Bing Crosby type stuff, but the Christina Aguilera type modern versions. Holiday music is annoying enough but do we really need to hear the version by some person who came in 5th place in American Idol 4 years ago? No, we don't.
 
People who use the word "Irregardless". I love the Urban Dictionary's definition that states "Used by people who ignorantly mean to say regardless."
 
.-.
Sales people who call me "buddy"
Anyone calling me "buddy"
People doing 50 mph in the left lane....get the hell out of the way!! You can do 50 in the middle or the right lane
"Media" outlets that create news instead of reporting news (I'm looking at you Bristol)
People who argue about Constitutional Rights they do not know or understand
People who defend "real Americans"
Parents who complain about the quality of thier children's education while being the main barrier to a good education
Parents who think their bad acting children are cute...they aren't they are annoying (and i love children)
Idiots watching a show about a family of quirky rednecks who are now offended one of them said something off color.....this was a surprise to you?
Participation awards.....only winners deserve trophies. Losers get the chance to get better so they can one day stop losing. It is called growth
The new rules "protecting" QB's and WR's.....I thought this was football
People who think Twitter is a good thing

People who have posted more than once on this thread. If you can't spew your grievances off the top of your head, it's not really a grievance.

Wow..... No you didn't!!

Every single person on the rush hour D Train in NYC/Brooklyn.

I lived in Borough Park for about a year and the D Train was easily my biggest grievance. It came about once a week, was delayed at almost every stop, the trains were old and the conductors annoying as hell. And now, of course, I live along the 4/5/6 line and have a whole new list of things to complain about.
 
Hipster bags from Brooklyn who want to shout at everyone how great Brooklyn is. Hey, f*#kstick congratulations you have restaurants and bars....guess what we have that in Manhattan, and so does Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island as well as any place else. Take your "vibe" and stick it up your a@#.
People that dress up their dogs
The c#$ktoast that built our house.....figure out how to use a level a&*face, We bought a used house I had no oversight of the build, unfortunately.
The guys that widen my driveway everytime they plow snow. I don't need you reclaiming my lawn a foot at a time. It's not that hard to plow Cletus, figure it out.
People that insert their religious beliefs into any narrative be it face to face or social media.
The MTA for not having a bus come down the street for 25 minutes, then having 4 in a row show up. Come on man, really.
Bike lanes and pedestrian malls in Manhattan....F&%k you Bloomberg
People that look sideways at others for drinking X or eating Y. I drink and eat what I want, you eat and drink what you want. If you want to drink toasted dingleberry and fumunda cheese lager good on ya, but don't assume that anyone else that isn't drinking it has an inferior palate.

Ah, that was cleansing. Thank you.

Merry Christmas
 
Gentile doesn't mean Christian. It means not Jewish. I'm pretty sure Christians didn't exist when the term began.

I always ask the guy at the convenience store how I got to be the "boss". Must be my stellar work ethic.
 
Oh goodness, where to start?

When I'm running on the side of the road, as far over as one could possibly be without being half way up a tree, facing traffic, and cars that won't move over three inches despite there being no traffic coming the other way. Been clipped twice (once in the same town on the same weekend JC had his bike accident).

Morons at the market who move at the speed of smell. The aisles are narrow. Read the signs, find what you need and keep moving. My four year old has a mental map of our local market. If he could read, I'd just send him in with the list and my debit card.

Parents who make every excuse in the book for their child. No one is expecting you or the kid to be perfect.

Parents who ignore multiple requests for parent conferences and then blame the school when the kid is struggling.

Parents who say they can't get the time off from work for school meetings. Maybe you should realize there is a law which states you can miss work for school-parent meetings and we can and will call your employer on your behalf if you'd like. (Not sure if that is in MA only.)

Families on free lunch who give their kids iPhones, drop off in better cars than half of our staff drives, and dress their kids in Hollister, yet who never pay a dime for field trips, cry poor and get free after school programs/sports, and don't help out with fundraisers.

Groups of people who sign up for road races, line up near the front, and then insist on walking side by side the width of the course, making it nearly impossible to get past. It's called self seeding, get to the back.

The NCAA. All of it.

Youth coaches who insist that teaching 6th graders zone defense is a good idea. Hint: Your 12 year olds aren't likely going to Syracuse. Though I did work a lot of MCW's games when he was in 6-9th grade.

The company who plows out our condo complex. Next time, why don't you wait until we have dug out our cars completely before plowing us back in so we can't get out. This only makes your job harder. Let us out, you do your job. Life isn't that hard. Oh, and if you plan to leave a 1-2 inch pack of snow that will freeze over night, can you please sand the hill?

That about covers it. Merry Christmas!
 
I have no grievances. I was born a UConn fan.

I can't possibly air any grievances, when there are so many less fortunate people out there....like Providence fans....or BC fans....just horrible, horrible fates. So thankful this holiday season for being born a Husky fan! ;)

For the record this has become basically a social holiday for most Christians as well.

How about "Sport" or "Champ"?
 
NYC Tourists (or touron's as I refer to them) who walk 4 across the sidewalks like they are in Omaha.

Idiots on cells phones who can't walk or drive in a straight line.

Bimbos who can't utter one full sentence without using the word "like".
 
  • People who pay by check at the grocery store
  • People who bring 15 items to the "10 items or less" checkout line
  • People who leave their shopping carriage in the middle of the aisle and then walk away
  • Salespeople who stalk me using LinkedIn and then cold call/email me incessantly (I'm looking at you, Oracle and Mondo)
  • Drivers who can't grasp the idea of taking turns when two lanes merge into one
  • Wives who don't understand the importance of regularly checking the Boneyard

Clicking a thread on the Boneyard when....OOPS! The banner ad hasn't loaded yet! Everything scrolls down 2 inches and instead of clicking the thread title, I've magically clicked on some other thread (guaranteed to be crap), or someone's profile page (guaranteed no-bikini profile), or I've sorted all the thread titles alphabetically and now I'm staring at page full of Dr. DOS' right-triangle-prefixed thread titles instead of the most recent Cesspool threads (actually an improvement since the Cesspool has been having basically the same discussion for the past 100 years).

Bonus points for me when I go back and do THE EXACT SAME THING AGAIN instead of waiting the 5 extra seconds for the "Philippina women who want to meet me!" banner ad to be served up by whatever Russian mob has infiltrated the doubleclick network this week.

And for some reason the check using demographics also wait for the entire order to be rung up, then wait for the cashier to tell them the amount, then start rumaging through their wallet to get the check book and then painstakingly fill out each block, enter all the check information in to the register and then hand the cashier the check.

Followed closely by those who wait for their entire order to be rung up before reaching in to their wallet for cash.

As if they were expecting to be the one millionth customer and get their groceries comp'ed as part of a promotion.
