The airing of grievances thread

[taterguy]

My nephew stole one of my french fries.

I don't mind sharing but the little bastard thought I wasn't looking and took a french fry right off my plate.

Kids today.

No respect.

[Droopy]

1. That is one enterprising young man

He knew you wouldn't do anything even if he stole your fry from right out from under your nose. I see a bright future in the business world for him.

[taterguy]

2. I see an ass kicking in his future

Not all of the people he steals from will be so benevolent.

[EFerrari]

10. Don't be too hard on him.

All that attention can spoil a kid.

[taterguy]

11. Did you read my OP?

He stole a fucking french fry.

Sure my arteries don't need any more clogging but I was really looking forward to that french fry.

[EFerrari]

12. Some kids will do anything to get you to beat on them.

Make him work for it! Don't just give it away. :evilgrin:

[taterguy]

13. Good point

[Perry Logan]

3. If you'd just had a gun, you could have blown him away.

[taterguy]

4. That would teach him some respect

[Turbineguy]

6. Yes, this is one of those situations

that call for gun play.

[LiberalEsto]

14. No, go for the Taser

it's quieter and less messy

[taterguy]

5. Kick for more bitching and moaning

[EFerrari]

7. My mom gave me some good news for my birthday,

I couldn't believe it. Who wants good news for a present?

[taterguy]

8. That's it?

Just some news that you would have found out about eventually anyway?

What a rip-off.

[EFerrari]

9. I was so outraged, I couldn't even listen.

:shrug:

[AllegroRondo]

23. Unless the good news is "I won the lottery and I'm giving you a share"

thats hardly a good present.

[hisownpetard]

15. Chances are, it was the best French fry in the whole damned bunch.

He deserves a lickin', or my watch ain't tickin'.

Good thing you caught, him, too, 'cause that's how it starts. First a French fry when
an uncle's not looking, then a whole potato when the cook turns her head the other way.

Next thing you know, he'll be mainlining mashed right under your very noses.

You did the right thing. Ya gotta NIP IT IN THE SPUD.

[LeftyMom]

16. flvegan beat me with a shoe once. And it was a leather shoe.

Okay, it was less beating me than chasing me around the room yelling "poke! poke! Oh my god, it's a dead cow and it's touching you! poke!" to get me to squeal like a ten year old girl, but either way when he's old and I put him in the cheap home with ugly nurses, that'll be why.

[no name no slogan]

17. I cannot get a pizza on Christmas Day

:grr:

[Skittles]

18. working 6PM to 6AM on Christmas

yes INDEED

[otherlander]

19. WHY DOESN'T ANYONE WANT ME TO HELP THEM MAKE COOKIES?!?

I was all like, "Can I help you make cookies?" and they were all like, "Nooooo, we're gonna make cookies all by ourselves, so there!"

I hate the Yule Log channel. All it shows is that damn log burning! Turn it off!

I put on the Beatles and someone turned it off and put on a radio station that was playing Feliz fucking Navidad. :grr:

Why did everyone have to go home so early? Bastards.

[Jamastiene]

20. Next time use less ketchup.

Ketchup draws kids like flies. Or hide the fact that you are using any ketchup. Of course, you probably are gonna say you weren't using ketchup now, aren't you? I know, hide the salt. All fries have salt, right?

In any case, you should have grabbed a fork and stabbed his grubby little paws. That taught my younger cousins to keep their damn mitts off my food growing up. I took the ass whipping I got for it in stride too. They never fucked with my damn plate again though. :evilgrin:

[ellisonz]

21. Raise the minimum wage!

[otherlander]

22. Kick!

C'mon, people, complain more!

[taterguy]

25. Are you complaining that people aren't complaining enough?

[ElboRuum]

24. Christmas Road Warriors Take Note...

If we absolutely insist upon having a holiday which espouses and predicates itself on the showing of "goodwill" toward other people, could it possibly be an incarceration offense to be a complete asshat in the days prior? Oh, and note to all of the nasty, grotesque, scowling, irritatingly distracted, putrified souls out there who couldn't WAIT to run me over in the parking lot to get home, to... I dunno, maybe gleefully hit yourself in the head with a ball-peen hammer, I can't otherwise imagine what other "relaxation time activities" would appeal to a barbaric Philistine such as yourself... you may officially burn it whatever purgatory you find fearsome and horrific.
