Who came up with the grand idea of FINALS!?...its just an excuse for professors to be lazy all semester long then assign the biggest most ridiculous project ever or the MOST difficult exam of the semester at exactly the same time as all of your other classes and make it 1/3 of your grade...im TICKED.

The cost of homes in the east bay! Really, 700,000 for an ok house that will need work. What builder, real estate agent etc. thinks that this is really an ok idea? My husband and I are not really looking forward to both and 2 jobs and never seeing each other. But hey, we will have a house.

Oh, and as for cable companies...c'mon, it's tv not rocket science. Why do you think it is ok to charge me $100 to watch TV on my HD Plasmam TV that was also priced to high.

FOr the record, I was here on the boards if you here of a bank getting robbed!

I so agree with the housing prices!

My only grip for the day...acne. Is it really needed at my age. I think it's a mean game from nature!

I've been so into taxland, nothing else has been bothering me. My biggest gripe is paying 1/3 of the money I earned to an agency that pays $107 for a Stanley hammer...if you would learn to handle your money better, I wouldn't have to give you so much of mine. Between the anti-IRS avatar and this comment....I am sooo getting audited! ;)

Nosebag, sorry about the trash cans...I was in taxland. What is with husbands and their socks? At least they're not in my face...just my living room.

Ok folks since we all are a bunch of crankity cranks I have now started the weekly "GRIPE FEST"
Here are the rules:

Nothing cheer related (give us a freaking break would you)

Your feeling's,thought's and opinions are YOUR own and NOBODY can say anthing about it. (or they can't play)

Here I go:

To my next store neighbor could you please put your stinking trash cans away as soon as trash day is over. The rest of us don't like to see your cans out 24-7 Sheesh.

To the moron that cut me off yesterday morning SHAME on you I hope you get a paper cut and acne on your back.

To the news media: I don't care what Brittany Spears drank last night or that she got a speeding ticket GET OVER IT.

To my husband: I love you dearly but do you think you could learn to not thow your dirty socks in my face when you get home from work .
It wasn't funny when we dated and it's still not funny 20 YEARS LATER.

OMG!! That was funny! Thank you for the good laugh!

I would like to gripe about something.....

I own a daycare and I watch a couple of children that live in our neighborhood.....well my biggest gripe is that parents will come home and go into their house for one or two hours and not pick up their child until the very last second. I know I get paid for it but my only thing is that come on parents you dont have that much time with your children as it is because of working a full time job you would think you would want to pick your child up and spend your time with them. Maybe parents can remember that while you work your 40 hour a week job daycare providers work 60+ hours a week.

Dont get me wrong I love my job and love the kids it's the parents that make it hard!

Why can't my co-worker answer a ringing phone? He just sits there waiting for me to pick it up. I can see on the caller ID that it is for him. I am just as busy. Pick up the phone!!!

If you take the last of the coffee in the pot, make another pot!!! Don't leave 5 drops for the next person. UGH!!!!!

Oh, and why do people leave 2 sheets of toilet paper on the roll instead of putting on a new one?
You can't tell that there are only 2 sheets left? Gimme a break!

I hate being interrupted with someones question or problem when it is something that they should be capable of solving for themselves.

Why are there things that are blindingly obvious to me and not to everyone else?

I better stop, I am getting on a roll here....

OMG we are the same person. People need to learn how to learn to solve things on their OWN if they know the answer.

This topic is by far the BEST topic I have seen in a long time!

Do we have to hold our gripes in and only post on Thursdays?

Date: Thu Apr 17 12:49 PM, 2008

I hate it when my employees stand at my door staring at me and they can see i'm on the phone or busy with someone else.

They just stand there... why? why i ask you?
