We need a thread where we can bitch about the things that tick us off. A garbage can for life's little frustrations.
I'm in a cranky mood this morning, and can find lots of irritating things, so I'll start it off.

Rain gear that leaks in the crotch.
Clutch hub bearings that die without warning.
Waiting 3 1/2 weeks to get my bike back for a two hour job.
Getting my bike back, then having a bolt fall out of the shift linkage on the way home.
BMW riders who express an interest in my bike, only so they can find a reason to sneer at it.
Idiots on the highway who travel at the same speed as the slow moving car beside them, which forms a rolling roadblock.
My boss at work. (Enough said)
Telephone solicitors.
Phone calls from computers.
Press 1 for English.
Heating oil costing the same as Diesel fuel, even though there are no road taxes on it.

That's a start. What really frosts your ass?

when people complain, with no intentions of any sort of resolution.

i'm not trying to instigate anything, it is just something that gets under my skin: this guy at work complains every day after lunch about how much his stomach hurts. i brought in some pepto-bismol, and he won't take it. he just bitches and moans about his tummy.

Aye that.

That and the Federal Government more than likely poisoned my kid, know that they poisoned my kid, and passed a law that states that when the fact that they poisoned my kid comes to light, I can't sue the company and the Federal Government for poisoning my kid.

It nearly always rains on a weekend.

When it doesn't rain on a weekend we always have visitors.

I never have quite enough money.

I don't understand why when she says "nothing" she means "something".

Out of all the tools & sockets & spanners I own. I never have the one I need when the shops are shut!

When I want something, I have to wait, when she wants something, it has to be now.

Every time I watch the news, some dick has just received a mega grant to research something utterly utterly useless.

No matter my good intentions, my waistline stays the same.

The company/product you have known for years changes it's name for no discernible reason.

Somebody got paid an enormous amount of money to come up with the stupid/obvious/ridiculous name of the company/product above.



Phew that's enough for now, I need to go lie down.

No complaint: a GREAT Mexican dinner with great tasting spicy salsa. Fresh Jalapenos so I can get my vitamin C.

Complaint: counting jalapeno seeds the next morning.

(It doesn't make me stop eating spicy foods however)

I also hate those robo phone calls. I have been getting them on my cell. Some want me to buy an extended warranty on a car I don't even have, and the others want me to vote for some person. Guess what? I didn't vote for you because of that!

Maybe we could convince the powers that be that owning a Buell is a handicap (since so many owners of other motorcycle brands and sportbike magazines seem to think so) and then we could park in handicap slots!

I don't eat fast food that much, so I was surprised to learn just recently that Kentucky Fried Chicken changed their coleslaw recipe years ago.

That kind of made me bitchy for minute, but I got over it.
