The Festivus Airing of Grievances

[Sephiroth]

My biggest grievance is with my immune system. In this past year I’ve had covid, pneumonia, and a stroke. At what point did you decide it was okay to stop doing your job? Last I checked we are going to be stuck together for a long time and without me you ain’t nothing. Turning 40 is no excuse for you to just slack off. My white blood cells better start working again or I’m going to get into the feats of strength with them.

To Mother Nature-listen hoe bag, I’m fed up with your shit! Your bipolar ass needs to start taking your meds because I’ve had it with theses mood swings. I know previous generations did you dirty, but why do I have to get all the grief for it? And if you are upset at my head getting turned by Mars let me ask-you ever consider doing yourself up a bit? I’m a man and I have needs, I can’t be the one making all the effort.

To Netflix: your send toon sucks and you are over priced, that’s why I cancelled you.

Go harass people, let it all out.

My employer always lets us leave at noon the day before the Xmas weekend. They even told us we could two weeks ago. But because our union is (rightly) fighting a forced return to work initiative they decided to take it away and waited until the literal last minute. It's the most childish display of management pettiness I've ever seen here.

I said it in another thread but I'll just repeat.

Managers are c***s

I'm tired, I'm hurt, I work for f***ing children...

I'm about to air a grievance on my f***ing 2016 Ford Fusion. f***ing thing's battery went dead from the cold and the anti-theft kicked in when I tried to jumpstart it, so now it has to get towed and looked at, which will set me back a couple hundred at least.

Im trying to unlock some stuff in Showcase mode of 2K22 because I need certain belts and attired before I can start my rebooking of the Invasion in Universe Mode. Some of the challenges are straight up pissing me off.

Also, I'm rereading Claremont's legendary X-Men run, and as good as it is, one individual issue takes the amount of time to read as like three normal comics.

I have the same issue with Alan Moore comics lol.

The CM Punk "I'm tired, I'm hurt..." best explains the situation with my family. It's hard to live life in peace when people try to shoehorn their problems into your life.

On the flip side, at least today's Christmas visit wasn't for naught as I finally came across some old games I've spent years looking for. I was recently reunited with my GameCube and now I've got more games to go with it. Plan to pop in Need for Speed Underground for a playthrough once I get the inside cleaned out.

[Big BosskMan]

Okay, I'll go. Grievances go to:

My knees. Had one surgically repaired this year, now the other one is acting up.

My age. Dammit, I just turned 50 and I thought the wheels wouldn't fall off this quickly.

My job. Sure, contine to allow talented people to walk while never bothering to look at the root causes in certain management as to thecreason why.

My gym. Owner/coach is focused on multiple outside business opportunities and not on the gym. Training and classes impacted as a result.

[Push R Truth]

McDonalds has lost it's identity. It got big(ok big is an understatement but bare with me) with limited choices which allowed for fast service, decent quality, high levels of reliability and it was cheap.

Now it's one of the slower fast foods places. It's quality and the consistency between locations has dropped significantly and the cost of eating there seems to have risen much fasters compared to the traditional competitors like Wendys etc. And the god damned ice cream machine is broken 75% of the time.

So what's the main market for them anymore? By aiming for everybody they've lost something important that I just can't put my finger on completely.

[horsemen4ever]

Well as a Yankee fan, I got quite a list.

[Rolent Tex]

95% of the people going out to eat in the three days before Christmas here are proving they’re not classy enough for the McDonald’s $1/2/3 menu. The staff and I are here hard at work doing the good charity work.

I'd like to second this f*** you to ol' Mother Nature, as the bitch caused the power at my house to die for eight solid hours today and effectively killed my DVR in the process. It gets power, I can hear the hum when I plug it in, but it won't turn on at all.

So there went my anime stash, some of this week's wrestling, and the last episode of Outcast I was going to watch tonight. That last one isn't on any streaming service.

[bibboid]

For the first time in the ten years I have worked at my job, we got absolutely nothing for Christmas. I can understand the big Christmas party going away but they used to send out simple gifts to everyone. Bluetooth speakers last year, company logo blankets the year before. This year we didn’t get so much as a Christmas card.

Cheap jerks.

Seconded. You'd think after six staff getting department transfers to get away from a particular supervisor, plus enough complaints from the other departments to require three team-manager meetings to address those complaints you'd think something would be done.

Instead it's "Well, she's passionate about her job and making sure it's done properly."

No, bullshit. She's passionate about sitting on her ass for 30 hours per week doing "admin" while managers aren't around, working a position that has no more than 30 minutes of admin duties per day, and ordering her subordinates to do the rest of her duties for her on top of their own.

Grievances....

To the San Jose Sharks, be good once again and stop giving up leads. Its almost as you play either the first or second period and forget to play the third. It's ridiculous that a freaking team in its second year is doing better than you.

To the Toronto Raptors, start winning on a consistent basis. You are barely holding on to the 10 seed and you can so obviously be better, but for one reason or not, you fall apart.

To the Toronto Blue Jays, what the hell are you doing. You choke against the Seattle Mariners in horrible fashion and what do you do? You give them Teoscar Hernandez for some no names. Kevin Keirmaier is better defensively, but he isnt what he used to be. Also, getting rid of our top prospect and Lourdes Guirriel Jr. should have been gotten us more than just Varsho. You do remember we play in the AL East, right?

Carolina Panthers, be consistent at something. I appreciate dominating the Lions today, but where was this performance against the Steelers? If you want this division that is somehow still in reach despite us being 6 - 9, you need to be consistent.

Economy, alright....the COVID shutdown has been more than a year old. Stop being greedy and start lowering prices on stuff again. I'm tired of stuff being too expensive and I will not hear the complaints of who is in power anymore.

Elon Musk....no one likes you because you are a rich and abrasive asshole. Stop making excuses and stop trying to threaten people to like you because that is not how life works.

Certain Comedians...adapt with the freaking times and stop blaming cancel culture or our sensitivities for the fact that you arent as funny as you used to be.

IWC.....stop being one-sided on wrestling. All wrestling can be good. No style is a betrayal of the business. Expand your horizons. I may be a mostly AEW fan, but I cant say that WWE wrestling is 100% the devil because that is not true.

Vince McMahon.....just go away and never return

NWA....stop pushing Tyrus as your top champion. In fact, if you let him go...nothing would be lost.

I've gotten sick a few times because of parents sending their kids to school when they are sick

there have been a few times this year where I've taken a sub job and there have been vital piece of information missing from information about the job

- example, near the beginning of the month I rotated in dual language classrooms where I was supposed to be helping students with all sorts of stuff in Spanish... I can't speak Spanish fluently - one of the principals was shocked that the job said nothing about that

Milwaukee Brewers giving up talent because it was getting expensive to retain them

Aaron Rodgers being a douche

[zrowsdower]

I hate couples. A dumbass one was hugging and stuff in front of me in line at the movies and it reminded me why i hate love and life so much. Call me a cuck or simp or weak or whatever but this is my grievance.

[Zaq "That Guy" Buzzkill]

The job I started this year doesn't have sick days. In September I got an awful cold that left me with no voice and a constant cough that constantly interrupted my work. I'm a teacher. I work with small children. It was torture.
