The Airing of Grievances
 

As per custom, the Festivus pole is now up. Let the airing of grievances begin!

My grievances:
Put down the damn cell phone and drive already.

Cookies are far more delicious than vegetables.

Fvck housework.

My neighbor to the right is an idiot.

Mutaytor is playing a Festivus party tonight, and I'm stuck here at home :(

I have a ****ing cold and my nose hurts from all the snot-expelling. My house is also a sty, but luckily I'm on strike this year and not providing the Festivus feast for all the in-laws. Last year, I had the flu and still had to cook and clean for the big gathering. Taught me to learn to say no.

Cookies really are better than veggies.

Baklava is better than most cookies.

Jello shots while working improve one's creativity. If you give your client some, they tend to go along with anything. :D

Oh, and it's frikken snowing again. I'm staying indoors and in jammies today!

Ooh, Airing of Grievances. I dig. Let's see...

When you wait until two days before Christmas to do your shopping, it's your fault that everything is sold out. Not the poor minimum wage earning kid behind the cash register.

Parents who buy their children roller shoes and then allow them to skate around on them in the mall/store/public need to be shot.

I don't care if your an atheist. I'm not Jewish, but I still wish Jews a Happy Hanukkah. So have a Merry Christmas and shut the fvck up.

I married your Daughter over two years ago now. The relationship stuck. I'm not going anywhere. Learn to live with it.

Thank God (or whoever) Christmas is almost here....that means it's almost over!

Apparently Christmas dinner is at Norm's this year. In Riverside. My mom, her husband, and me. What fun!

I have to continue through Riverside to my dad's in Moreno Valley, or I would happily offer to prepare the holiday meal myself. I have a hard time believing no decent restaurant in Riverside is able to make reservations for Christmas.

or

There are plenty of decent restaurants open and available, and my mom and her husband don't want to spend the money. My willingness to kick in only makes them harrumphy.

SERENITY NOW!!!

My knee and hip still hurt and I have to run a marathon in 21 days.

Cookies are way better than vegetables.

Cookies pwn veggies any day.
Chocolate covered gummie bears are crack
al mare crepes need to be carried at every restaurant. It is law.

I cannot be everything to everyone at work.

My grievance is with grievance threads.

What is with the hand dryers in public restrooms now being installed on the wall behind the sink? It's completely awkward to try to use them while someone is using the sinks, and to use them you'd have to lean over the perpetually damn counter any how. Is this some plot to reduce energy costs by persuading us to stop using them? I object! *gavel*

And I would like to complain that I have no gavel icon to use. I should have a virtual gavel to go with my new engraved gavel.

One of my accounts at work is being a real pain in the butt. They know what I need in order to process their orders. They have the information when they send me their product. Why is it so hard to include it with the bill of lading???

I would rather eat veggies than cookies

Snow sucks

My kids don't listen to me, someday they will regret that

I love my new car- so why did someone throw up in it?

I hate money, yet need more of it

Neph: well, someone had to "make it yours". When my dog claims ownership to something, he pees on it. You're just marking it :)

No grievances.
Nothing to see here.
Move along.

:)

New grievance! People who intrude upon a sacred Festivus tradition to insert smiley faces!

Festivus yes! Bagels no!

:)

Grievance....


In laws who assume...

spouses who 'check out' for the holidays yet still expect holidays to visit upon them bearing 'gifts'


being miles away from where one really would LIKE to be on the holidays.

Grievance...

Being one of two people left in the office.

Boyfriends who always weasel out of doing anything, like getting the mail or going to the market. Even when they're home and you're not.

Cookies are awesome... way better than veggies!

Also... who the heck comes to the library on Christmas Eve to use the internet!?!?! The other city offices close at 2 PM today. Here at the library, we close at 5. This is due to a printing error that was supposed to say we were going to close at 6.

And now a word from our sponsor: Gemini Cricket Co.

I would like to file a complaint about myself, because I can't find anything to complain about at the moment. :p

Oh, you just try and mess with me, oh next door neighbors with the 57 oversized vehicles. You can pretend you don't speak English all you want. But you're parked directly in front of our driveway, so that we can not get our own compact car in or out of our garage. And while you might get away with it other places, here you are parked in a marked fire lane, which means I can call 911 and get your ass towed.

DO NOT MESS WITH THE NEWLY MINTED JD! I haven't yet taken the bar, so I still feel invincible.

As a person in the service industry, I wholeheartedly agree!!

Not to start anything, but aren't Festivus grievances supposed to be about those gathered around the Festivus pole?

NO!


From wikipedia
And now I bid you all adieu, as I leave for my mother's traditional Festivus Feast at Norm's. SERENITY NOW!

I guess I follow the Frank Costanza liturgical tradition that focuses on those assembled.

My Grievances -

- People who are not smart enough to hire me.
- Driver's licence tests should come with coloring books so those who get the licence will know how to color within the lines.
- Hanna Montana, Britney Spears, Paris, Lindsey and Hillary Duff need to explode.
- Wind between 9pm and 945pm should not exist.
- Broken hearts
- McDonalds needs to go away
- People who pretend to be friends when they're not
- Cast Members with little brain power.
- Gas prices
- George W
- War
- Fabric softeners
- Strong Purfumes
- Evan Almighty

Happy Festivus everyone! :coffee:

You are SO full of win Prudence!

I agree grievances should if at all possible be aired in person.

I celebrate Festivus the must see TV Thursday either before or after Xmas. This year it's after I am having a cocktail party at my place after work tomorrow Thursday 27th If you happen by this invite serendipitously feel free to swing by on what is a schoolnight for straglers still in town. By the by I have a 12 foot Festivus pole this year. :cheers:
