Do you have grievances?

[Deleted User] · December 2010

No worries. I don't really care that much.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Do you have grievances? : Ha! That reminds me of the Pizza Hut thing they used to do, where you'd get a coupon for a free personal pan pizza for reading a book and writing a page report on it. I had like, 15 pizza coupons by winter break the first school year they did it. I think they actually put a limit on the coupons you could get each school year due to me the next year.

I remember that. My Mom was the GM of our Pizza hut, so it wasn't really good incentive for me.

Yep -- and calling it at the time would make me feel like a complete heel because it happens in good news threads where the energy is positive (and should be!). I'm not going to ruin someone's happy announcement by telling her BFF's that they are being obnoxious, even if I happen to think they are.

Exactly. This is one of the few cases where I won't say anything in the original thread because it's unfair to OP.

MeaghanandMichael · December 2010

Yeah it makes me uncomfortable too. Things like that do. Like, remember when some one made a thread discussing/voting on how Sucrets should spell her child's name? Ummmm just let the happy moment be the happy moment. I bet Sucrets didn't even care, it just makes me feel weird.

I have a TK grievance. It just started sending me notifications every time someone replies to this thread. And I don't know how to make it stop. I don't see the box to "stop email notifications" it keeps referring to.

ETA--never mind, I found it.

When you're in a thread it's at the top of the page, right under the board name.

HobokensFury · December 2010

I know I'm late to the party but I have a TK grievance. It's not about this board but the budget board. I'm tried of broke brides 1) begging/fundraising/asking for donations and 2) asking for votes for free stuff. Put your big girl panties on and pay for your own damn wedding.

I have a grievance with that phrase.

I've never been to the budget board. They seriously beg for money over there? Wtf?

crose29 · December 2010

Ok I have a TK one (sorry to bring up non TK grievance), I am new to this whole troll thing, but I dont like it. I like to believe that people are genuinely dip shiits.

HobokensFury · December 2010

Yes they do. It's kind of pathetic. Or the ask you to "donate" your old wedding items to them. Seriously I go there for amusement purposes only because I've been told I'm not a budget bride because I have more than 5k to spend on a wedding.

I don't remember it either. In any case, it doesn't bother me. I'm not going to tell people how they can and cannot post since I'm guilty of getting things way off topic myself. Plus at least it's something to read when no one else has anything to grieve about.

Ash2985 · December 2010

Ah, didn't realize that non-TK grievances weren't allowed. Won't do it again!

NuggetBrain · December 2010

I couldn't deal with the budget board after a while. I remember once when some girl from NYC went in there and was asking for help regarding her budget of 20k or something, and everybody blew the f*ck up at her and was all "ZOMG you aren't a budget bride I'm only spending 3 dollars for MY wedding, why are you even here?!? You could buy a car with thaaaat buuuudget!" Without stopping to think that a wedding in NYC can EASILY cost way over 20k. EASILY.

Posted by Seshat411[/QUOTE]
This is true and, clearly, we haven't had too many TK grievances anyway. My gripe is more with the posts that you know (or I guess I read them as doing this) the poster was just stretching for something to complain about just to participate.

AllAboutTheBenjamin · December 2010

I lent a knottie friend something I used for my wedding, but it's because we are friendly and like each other. Not because she had to beg and I felt sorry for her.

Also - I hate the notion of a "budget bride." Are not all brides on a budget of some kind?! Whether it's a small budget or a large budget, it's still a budget.

[QUOTE]I'm pissed that I missed AB's blow up, damn it. That's what I get for sleeping all day. I'm not sure how I feel about non-TK related grievances. I mainly feel like a lot of new people do this, not because the grievance really just popped in their head, but because they wanted to grieve something, anything, to participate. That's annoying. If you genuinely feel that strongly about it, go for it, but don't dredge up something about Christmas decorations or cars or something just to contribute. Does this make sense? I feel like I'm rambling.
Posted by NatesGirl16[/QUOTE]

I've been gone the past week, so I don't have any new grievances, but reading through this thread I was going to say exactly this. I feel like pretty much every other thread on this board is about day-to-day events/annoyances/random chatter/etc., so bringing them into AYG is just unnecessary and redundant. I'm sure there is some other place in another thread for whatever non-TK grievance you are thinking of.

Also, I agree with B and Celles about the "I already knew about this!" sentiment happening in announcement threads. I think many of us are friends IRL, and already know about major developments before they are reported here, and in this context it's great to just say congrats/condolences and let the OP have her moment.

Also, I missed you guys. Sorry if that derails the thread. ;)

I remember the rule, but rules for AYG (or FFF) were never really followed. I don't think anyone is trying to tell other people how to post. They are just saying they are annoyed by it. Isn't that what this thread is for?

True. I think the rules of FFF were made to be broken, or at least manipulated to serve one's purpose and/or shame others. At least that's how it used to play out. But that was annoying too.

I agree, people have every right to be annoyed and say so. I just meant that even if I rememebred the rule, I probably still wouldn't say anything because I know I certainly don't always stay on topic. AYG usually ends up in some crazy off-the-wall world anyway. Like llamas.
