What do you bitch about?

People in general. I don't like people (and they generally don't think much of me). I don't do any volunteer work that involves much public contact.

Boy, my wife could tell you in a second. I bitch about all these stupid long redlights we have here in town. Extra long for the heavy traffic here. C’mon you idiot...lights been green for ten minutes and we’re just sitting here....see what I mean?? :mad:
 
Politics
winters in WNY when its 'bone chilling' cold
pro athletes who are paid too much money e.g Bryce Harper,Mike Trout
owners who abuse their pets
 
Cell phones. When you come to visit me or we're going out to lunch... shut your phone off. To take calls when plans were made to visit with someone is so rude. Unless your children are expecting a baby at any moment, shut it off.
 
What's the difference between the word "bitching" and the word "complaining"? Actually, I like the word "complaining" much, much more.

Now, what do I complain about? Basically, right now, living here! You name it: the crime, summer heat/humidity, hurricane/tropical storm season, way people drive (recklessly), unfriendliness (due to the crime and population size), what salt or "brackish" water can do to a boat engine/outdrive, no rodeo action, no elk, no mountains. Ok, that's enough.

Also complain about how some stores will keep products on their shelves that has expired. Every bottle of Collin's Bloody Mary Mix at Walmart had already expired. A can of spray Solarcaine, at a local grocery store, was dated Exp. 7-18. When I asked about it, nobody cared.

Ok, I'm done.

What about small/pay tv's in booths? Went into one restaurant that had them and one couple was watching Wheel of Fortune. Then, at Chili's, they have a game type thing on the table. For paying your bill or playing different games.

So, it's not just the use of cell phones anymore, it's the entertainment offered at the table/booth.

People playing a game together has nothing to do with chatting with someone else over a cell phone when having dinner together.

Pedestrians who don't pay attention to traffic because they're busy texting.

I'm at a red light, waiting to turn right. A young guy is waiting to cross the street & texting. The light turns green, but he doesn't notice because he's looking down at his phone. After a few seconds, I start to make my turn, then he looks up & jumps off the curb. Then he gives ME a dirty look when I slam on my brakes.

I'm thinking, "He looks around 18. I wonder if he'll make it to 19."

Bitching has a snap to it. Complaining is more gentle.
 
I bitch about the way this town puts up orange barrels everywhere blocking off streets and then waits a week to do anything requiring the street be blocked.

Politics, traffic, people who mistreat their dogs, calling customer support and going through all the press 1 stuff and then getting someone in Timbuktu whom I cannot understand and who can't understand me, the rising price of everything, people on cell phones who don't watch where they're going, people loudly in stores or waiting rooms talking on cell phones who force everyone in their immediate area to listen to the saga of how their Friday night date went, etc., etc., etc.
 
I don’t
Everbody else has already filled the bitch quotient

Really, I don’t bitch
I don’t ‘hold it in’ because there’s nothing to hold in
Nothing up to bitch worthy

I do observe

And marvel

...and search for the humor


If I were made to bitch about something, it’d be about all the bitching

Oh, I do get angry
A sorta snap thing
Then it’s gone
I don’t hold that in either

Maybe I bury all my bitching in what I write
I’m a wordy cuss in that regard

And, it appears even THAT is something to bitch about
 
Spam and scam phone calls, we get so many of them every day. Last one was my husbands full name and our number on the caller ID. These people should be fined at least and stopped from harassing the public like this, it's out of control and many are not even from the US.

I heard on the radio that once you pick up, even if they hang up right away, they know there's a live body at the other end of the line and your number is sold to yet another group of scammers, that's how those people make money. The ones who claim to be the IRS or demand payment from citizens should be arrested.

One guy was saying on the radio that he got a call from Xfinity internet, he was told that for 3 years he could receive a much smaller monthly bill if he just purchased some gift cards and sent them to the company. Many of us would not fall for this, but he did. He called the number back on his phone with redial, although it was the same number, it was not the legitimate company on the other end. Lots of folks, especially older ones are hurting for money and will fall for these schemes.

:soap2:
 
Ok, my complaint (ok, "bitch") that I have, is (lol) AND, I didn't have this complaint, nearly as much, until the last couple of years living here:

People covered in tattoos! Neck, legs, arms, hands and even on the face and head. May not be the same type that appear on gang members on the tv show, Gangland, but still. And, I know that there are those that absolutely love them. Funny thing is, their "bitch" would be me "bitching" about them. LOL
 
Our pathetic, revolving-door justice system that puts us in danger.
