shower vision
From:  todaysgripe.com
I just don’t wear my glasses in the shower. Why are the words “Shampoo” & “Conditioner” among the smallest on the bottles??!! Manufacturers are always changing the size - shape - color of bottles so I can’t count on my familiarity with a product. Read Full Story
No one on the phone
From:  todaysgripe.com
What I hate is when a company calls you and you answer the phone. There is NO ONE THERE. Insted, you get a message stating for you to “please hold for an important message” If this message is so important, then have someone live on the other end of the phone when I say hello and stop wasting my time.

tailgating
From:  todaysgripe.com
I cannot stand when I am driving in the right-hand lane of the highway above the speed limit and someome sill feels the need to ride my bumper. There are at least 2 or 3 lanes to the left that are for passing… but NO 70 mph in the right lane is not fast enough. I try slowing abit to encourage the jerk to pass, then I hold my hand up in a stop sign. When that doesn’t work the middle finger and brakes come into play. It’s not like I am driving 55 in the far left lane. So yo... Read Full Story
Digital TV
From:  todaysgripe.com
Our local cable company is falling very short when it comes to digital service. It’s bad enough that the remote control has a mind of it’s own and will do what it wants. But the sound cutting out and the picture fragging is unreal. If this is the what we have to look forward to in February I’ll just have to quit watching tv. Read Full Story
Trade in that old car
From:  todaysgripe.com
I really don’t understand why the government keeps insisting that we should trade in our ten year old cars. I think they want us to be in debt up to our eyeballs. Sure the newer cars may be better for the environment but who wants to add to their debt. I drive a car that is 16 years old it gets 36 miles to a gallon, why would I want to turn that in? It is paid off and still pretty cute. I don’t want to buy a car that costs more than my sister’s house cost in 1980. And then ... Read Full Story
Texas heat
From:  todaysgripe.com
This Texas heat is killing me. It’s impossible to keep my apt cool with 100+ degree days and nights, even with $300+ electric bills. My car is 16 years old, gets 35 miles to a gallon but the a/c does not work. I’m self-employed and spend an hour or more in the car a day. I come home angry, soaking wet, and drained. I have no energy left to clean or cook or even try to have any type of fun. Fun….I’m not sure what fun is anymore. My husband gets mad at me because I co... Read Full Story
One email or voicemail is enough
From:  todaysgripe.com
Don’t you hate it when someone keeps emailing you the same request over and over?  Or constantly calling you without leaving a voicemail and then when you do get around to answering it was something that I answered in an email?  Come on folks, pestering is not going to get you a faster response.  So stop filling up my email inbox and if you need a quick answer, just leave a voicemail.  I get enough spam as it is.

The Penny Tray
From:  todaysgripe.com
It never fails.  The one time I need to borrow 4 cents from the penny tray, it is empty.  So now I have to get 96 cents in change that I do not want to carry, but I will.  I don’t get it, I always put whatever change I get in pennys into the tray in case someone will need it and for good karma.  I guess karma is not on my side this time.  Who knows, maybe someone was filling their gas tank and went over their allotted limit by 4 cents!  It’s not hard to do now a days with the high...

The “are you done with that table” look
From:  todaysgripe.com
Just because I asked for the bill doesn’t mean I am done with the table!  I hate it when I go out to eat at a bar that serves food and has open seating.  Nothing worse than people assuming I am done with the table when I ask for the bill.  I want to enjoy the rest of the game on the TV and then I’ll leave at my pleasure.  After a while of not standing up to leave, I’ll get that “are you done with that table “look from people.   Guess what, since you gave me that ...

Professional Whining
From:  todaysgripe.com
I was watching the NBA finals the other night and noticed how bad the whining from players had gotten.  Do they realize they are paid millions of dollars to play a game?  Stop whining and start playing.  And it seems this isn’t the only sport, it is getting out of hand in Baseball and college sports.  I don’t think I have seen it in the NFL, probably because of the helmets, but come on guys and gals, stop the whining.  If a foul or strike is called against you, be a good sport and...
