The Bitching Thread

Those disposable paper dusting things? They're called a Swiffer. Not a ****ing Swifter. Read the ****ing box.

You get to take up exactly HALF of a grocery store aisle in either direction. Ya wanna stop and browse the ****ing pickles? Don't stand beside your cart and block the whole ****ing aisle. And pretend you don't hear me saying "excuse me."

Entitled ****. **** you.

Yes. **** them.

CVS receipts that I'll never use and are longer than my leg.

The above was just a one-liner. What really drives me up a freakin wall is how I am now asked to complete a survey after every goddamn business transaction, no matter how significant. French fries from Wendy's! Are you effing kidding me?

People who cruise down the ramp to 78.

You are supposed to accellerate to highway speed, so you can merge into highway traffic without slowing anyone down.

Going to Target. Returning home. Realizing you don't have all the products you paid for.

Perfectly able bodied people parking their high end cars in the fire lane at kings in short hills. I'll often put my phone to my ear as if on a call and remark loudly enough for them to hear " yeah dude the taxes in short hills must be INSANE the fire trucks are mercades benz s classes!!!"

The DMV. I was just there and the person checking the 6 points yelled in my face because I was bewildered when my US Passport, Irish passport, drivers license, work ID plus utility bill were not enough to verify my identification. She also gave me grief because my US passport didn't have my middle name.

No joke, she nearly made me cry.


If you were in Springfield, it was the 9th circle of Hell today.

This is not bitching. Simply stating a fact.


Yes it was!!! What was the deal? Apparently all those documents didn't add up to 6 points and two of them had a middle initial and the last one didn't. That would not fly.

Now I have to go on a business trip and not be able to rent a car.

Oh yes, this happened to me once with some socks and other things I bought, two pairs of socks missing. Took receipt back to customer service, got refund, they were not surprised. now I watch the cashier,when she loads my stuff in bags and make sure no bags are left.

Going to Target with two young children. Returning home. Realizing you forgot to buy the one item that took you there in the first place.

So Dave who says you didn't pick up the envelope from your neighbor's trash? There's no address on the envelope, only a window. Besides at this point anyone can forge practically anything.


Because forging a postal mark is a more serious crime. They still look at the statement as well and both would have similar dates.

When I'm making a left into my driveway, i have my left turn signal on for a reason. Why do people think its OK to pass me on the left in this scenario?

Going to put a second coat of joint compound on a ceiling job i'm doing and noticing that some jackass painted the ceiling before I got there and *****ed up the whole thing.

The six-point system and other regs related to getting dmv id: http://www.state.nj.us/mvc/Licenses/6PointID.htm

I hate banks right now. They exist to torture everyday normal people.

I am constantly amazed that people walk behind my car while I am backing up. They see me in reverse and already safely in motion (clear of them), yet they continue to walk behind me....sometimes even with kids! When you see a car backing up, don't you stop?! Or steer clear?


My knee hurts for no apparent reason and is not responding to ibuprofen and I need it to stop hurting before next Saturday. I don't want nh vacation ruined because of a bum knee.

Oh no!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know if that qualifies as bitching. That's upsetting. Unfortunately, I know nothing about knees, but maybe someone else knows what to suggest. I hope it feels better.

Why on multi-use trails(joggers, cyclists, horses, etc) are the horse riders not require to use "butt buckets"? Spent a 3 hr bike ride swerving to avoid huge nasty piles of the stuff.

The effing chicken bones along Springfield Ave. I'm really really sick of it. My dog, however, loves it. Ugh.

It's the middle of summer and I have a horrible cold and strep throat!

Went around our family and I got it last... So everyone else is feeling good and Mom feels like hell now! Oh and no one takes care of Mom, except mom. :*(

Feeling sorry for myself, ok I'm done.

People are always bitching! Argh!

You are so right, no one! Feel better.



We just had the worst houseguests ever. They didn't bring a little gift (even for the kid whose bedroom they occupied for four days, forcing him to sleep on the couch). They went along on every tourist thing we suggested -- and didn't offer to pay a bit, except when I pointedly paid for my family and left them to their own devices. They consumed copious amounts of food and alcohol, but didn't offer to buy a dang thing. A childless couple, they directed all kinds of lectures at our kids about their bad behavior. They put their smelly feet on my fancy couch and ate the food that we kept aside for our food-adverse kids. They let me pay for their shuttle from the airport since I couldn't pick them up due to kids' camp pickup and then complained about the shuttle service I paid for.

They woke up every morning, slammed the glass door in the shower repeatedly, drank up the coffee and messed up my paper. They left their dishes and MY paper strewn all over the dining room table.

And they chewed gum and snapped it and chewed it with their mouths open, smacking and snapping away.


oh, and they didn't strip their bed before they left. they left the sheets on the bed and their wet towels on our (carpeted) floor.
