Gripes

Night_Sprite · May 2011

When someone posts something like: "Worst Day Ever..." on facebook. WHY? Why do they post this? Do they want responses like, "OMG, STACY! What's wrong? I LUV U." or inquiries to their well being? Either elaborate or don't post in on facebook. Whores.

What are your gripes?

avsfan33 · May 2011

My friend posted on facebook that relationship status on FB is BS so people asked why, she explained that because when you break up with someone, everyone asks what's wrong and she hates that. Few hours later she posts "sometimes love isn't enough". Seriously, if you don't want people questioning you keep it the eff off facebook.

I hate when people say FML because it's almost always about something completely inane.

I *thought* I was up for at least testing for a promotion at work, and I was freaking out and so excited.

They posted the job on CL on Tuesday, and even though I'm checking CL eleventybillion times a day, I missed it. Now I feel like I missed my chance, and I'm unsure of what to do next. AND my supervisor decided to take the day off today, so I don't really have anyone to talk to about it.

Email your resume and cover letter anyway. It can't hurt.

Girlie1030 · May 2011

We're in the process of moving people around at work and my gripe is with those who b!tch and complain that "His office is bigger than mine." or "Why don't I get a window office?". Um, guys, we've had a crapton of lay offs this past year - shouldn't you just be happy you still have a job?

bridebombing · May 2011

I hate when people post vague, but seemingly important, announcements then won't elaborate. Like "I can't take much more of this..." or "is now single" then disappear for a day.

Like, do I act like they don't know me? I wish my boss was here or would answer her freaking email!

Yes, exactly. I mean, I hate grocery shopping as much as the next person, but c'mon! My friend does it all the time. "my xbox broke FML" or "the lakers lost FML" It makes me irrationally irritated.

Girlie, Fvck My Life.

kd.joseph · May 2011

I have a couple. My DH is home officing today, so he is right there by the grocery store, but he wants me to stop at the store on my way home. I was just there yesterday, why cant you go? Argh!

I just had a woman come in my office to ask me about a store that was here in 97, but obviously is gone now, I've never heard of it neither has my Marketing manager. Well she knew it was here.....AND? I have no idea the purpose of the whole conversation. And she wore her sunglasses the whole time.

MelissaAnne88 · May 2011

Not having a dishwasher ticks me off. I hate handwashing dishes...especially when I have to handwash ALL of the dishes we use!

Oh! It also bugs me when people comment or like something, but then delete right away. I get the notification and then it's just - nothing. I have no idea why it bugs me, but it does.

Night_Sprite · May 2011

Okay, I'll do it from home tonight. Email me if I forget.

I also gripe that I have a tummy ache from my lunch.

Try division of labor. I wash and fold laundry, H does all dishes.

Oh, I also have a gripe with my month board. Who the fuuck makes bridesmaids pay for their own bouquet? Apparently this is normal in New Orleans.

I loled when she said the ladies on the month board were overboard.

Night_Sprite · May 2011

I also gripe that Any is showing me up so badly in the number of books she's read this year. It makes me feel inadequate.

Girlie1030 · May 2011

Fvck my life? Alrighty then.

Avs, seriously? I felt bad that my MOH bought her own dress... There's no way in hell I'd make her pay for flowers that she was going to hold for all of 15 minutes.

My 15yr old neice put something about HS being hard and then "FML" the other day on FB, and I asked her what it meant. She said "Um, Fun Means Learning!" LMAO! I then told her that was awesome, and her mom was going to be so proud when I taught my 9yr old and her 7yr old sistser "FML" and told her I learned it from her daughter. I don't know if she ever figured out that I already knew what FML meant. :)

I know, I still dont understand her point of arguing with me. Apparently she used to work there, and it sold high end clothing, she proceeded to tell me what she paid for her leather coat and mohair sweater. I thought she'd never leave.

And I have never had a dishwasher in my 45 years on this earth. And the deal in our house is DH cooks, I clean.

Look at Night, our new resident expert on resumes! You go girl!

Night_Sprite · May 2011

Well, I don't know that I'm an expert, but I have had to do and redo mine a few times in the last year. I don't know if 1 job from 62 job applications counts as success though.
