The daily gripe

It bugs me that the prices of everything is getting higher, and the containers and amounts are getting smaller. Not everyone notices it, but a simple thing like orange juice went from a 64 ounce container to a 59 ounce, but no break in price, if anything, a price increase. Same thing with yogurt, dog food, etc. :dollar:
 
Major gripe: How the American public is so ill informed about the do nothing politicians they put in office and their willingness to keep them there, no matter what kind of shenanigans they pull. They don't seem to get that lack of character and honesty in the candidates personal lives translates into what they will do once they have the power of a government position.

No consequences for bad behavior, poor judgement, deceitfulness and even downright thievery anymore, and all this politically correct Bull***t! drives me up the wall.

There now! Aren't you glad you asked?
 

I have noticed that too Seabreeze the packets are stll the same but the contents are less, i have noticed with face moisturiser that the bottom of the jar has a deep hollow which you don't notice unless you upend it, so you are getting less :aargh:
 
Onya (good for you) OGal, that's the spirit. We carried on a treat about ours too on the old forum, didn't like to do it here, but 'nice' to know you're ticked off with your lot too.

Would you be surprised to know that there's a TV show here that takes a look at your politics, a bit tongue in cheek, but they know their stuff.
'Planet America' it's called. It started up as a bit of prank when your last elections were getting into gear and was to finish with the elections but gathered such a fan base that they kept it going. I don't see all of them but it's a great comfort to know that we don't have the only borderline morons in the world holding public office.

Some of us are fascinated with your political circus because it's set up and run so very differently to ours. Unfortunately the candidates aren't all that different at all. Show ponies, scam artists, and perpetual back bencher troglodytes who couldn't get employment anywhere else.

The best thing about politics is the fun of whinging about it. :cool::biggrin-new:
 
Ugh...degenerate politicians, higher prices; I"m with you all. Yup, less product, same or higher price; I noticed in some supplement bottles..more cotton, less product, same price. :mad:
 
That's reminded of tablets Mum had to take. They'd come in a biggish medicine container, but when you pulled enough cotton wool out to choke a donkey there'd be a thimbleful of tiny little tablets in the bottom of it. What are they thinking?
 
Ozarkgal we have the same here in Australia, when you watch them in Parliment, you could swear you are watching kids in kindergarten, it's a worry when you think that they are running the country:aargh:
 
Another gripe of mine is these companies putting PALM OIL in long juices, my daughter is allergic to it and there is no mention of it on the labels, why in the hell do you need Palm Oil in juice anyway.:what:
 
Last Monday I was on my way to work on the M25 Motorway


I looked over to my left and there was a woman in a brand new BMW doing over 80 miles per hour with her face up next to her rear view mirror putting on her eyeliner!


I looked away for a couple seconds and when I looked back she was halfway over in my lane, still working on that makeup!!!


It scared me (I'm a man) so bad, I dropped my shaver, which knocked the Chocolate Bounty Bar out of my other hand.


In all the confusion of trying to straighten out the car using my knees against the steering wheel, it knocked my phone away from my ear which fell into the coffee between my legs,
splashed and burned Big Jim and the Twins, ruined the damn phone and DISCONNECTED AN IMPORTANT CALL!


WOMEN DRIVERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My gripe today... when I'm in the supermarket doing my shopping, and trying to find the fastest moving queue through the check-outs... why is it that after much careful and deliberate analysis, I always choose the slowest one.

 
:dito: All the above. I won't even get into what I think of politicians.

Sometime back I was using a recipe from a cookbook which called for a can of this or a package of that. This recipe a;so listed amounts (most don't list both). There was a big difference in the amounts available now as what was in the recipe.One thing it called for was a 15oz can of evaporated milk. They are 12oz cans now. Can make a big difference in a recipe.

By hiding smaller amounts in the containers the companies are telling me they think we're too stupid to know. That pisses me off.

Good one. :lofl:
 
I don't think there's enough free space on the 'Net to hold all my gripes, so I'll just list one -

- People that go through life unaware. They were always among us, but now with the distraction of the 'Net and their surgically-implanted phones it's become far worse.
 
Mine's mild: it annoys me that I don't get morning sun in my kitchen and bedroom. :mad::grumpy::sorrow: It's hard to be a morning person when the place is as dark as the inside of a cow's belly!
