OK, I am sick of people griping about JOCKS and PREPS. OK, my b/f just happens to be a jock, and I am a prep. This is making me very angry. He does not get any more attention than anyone else. I am not a stuck up snob. I try to be nice to everyone. He is nice to everyone. He knows how to treat women. STOP THIS MADNESS. I think maybe you are griping about jocks and preps because you are jealous, well, get over it, ok. Please, we are decent people, we have normal lives just like you, so leave us alone, or the jocks and preps WILL start making fun of you all. Thank you. -DizzyUpThisgirl
Why do people come to work smelling like a bottle of perfume? Do they think they are symbolically trying to hide something? They reek and they make me sneeze. -dtalkusa
I hate people who have kids (who they biologically created and who have little if any choice in the matter) and subject the kids to their new and inappropriate partner. Maybe you can't help falling in love with someone, but you can sure control how you deal with it. What about your needs? Come on, you're the adult/parent and it's not going to cause you irreparable harm to put your kids first. But if you don't put your kids first, you will cause them irreversible damage. Grow up, people. -dtalkusa
How do things disappear in the fridge so that they cannot be located until they have become host to a new, green life form? And my fridge partially freezes everything, including greens. Anyone for a saladsickle? -dtalkusa
The school system I graduated from was administrated by a bunch of pompous, nasty people who favored sporty kids and the children of certain people over everyone else. Now that I'm an adult, I not only work with the same people that were there when I was a kid, but I'm still wondering why they ever got into education as a career (aside from the fact that they can have others to boss around, including subordinate teachers who actually do care). -stymied professional outside of the school system
Why do schools favor the sporto-kids? I'm 28 and professional and I think it's heinously unfair. I don't even get what makes sportos so special. It also seems like the teachers and administrators who do this have failed to pass beyond their "glory days." Come on, people. -dtalkusa
People using cell phones and driving erratically; those who fail to use turn signals (I know it's old fashioned, but it's a good idea); a fire marshall who hit someone's car and the police officer who somehow forgot to file the report--these are a few of my peeves. -dtalkusa
I hate bureaucrats -james
My gripe is a little different from most other peoples. I don't have a problem with the teachers at my school, or the jocks, or the 'popular' kids (although I'm not part of the highly recognizable IN group. I mainly have a problem with people who looks at a group, or another person, and hates them just because they aren't a part of the group. Just because a person doesn't go out of their way to speak to you doesn't mean that they think you are a stupid lowlife. It generally just means that they don't know you. Quit worrying so much about what other people are thinking, saying, doing, etc. and start LEARNING. The only reason you are truly there is to get an education. You know, to better YOUR life. To open up job opportunities for YOU. Those teachers that you hate are just trying to help you earn a better life for yourself and pay their rent at the same time. And those jocks? My experience is that they only focus their dislike on people that don't like them. Couldn't the case be that they don't notice you, so you get mad because you aren't the center of everybody's universe? And the popular people: oh yes, the popular people. You ever wonder why they were called the popular people? Because they are POPULAR. (Definition of popular: a lot people like them.) Could it be that you are secretly jealous of them? My piece of advice after this long rant is simply to be nice to each other, keep your hand to yourself, if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all, and above all, GET OVER IT. -roller
I hate bosses who are mean and can not do their own work!!! I wish my boss would grow up and be mature, she doesn't speak to me when she is mad and I am sick and tired of no one taking any action!!!! Lots of people have quit because of this monster, she has the ugliest personality! -anonymous
teachers "help" u with problems u wouldn't have without them. -anonymous
Ok. I am a 21 year old college senior. I guess that i really don't have a gripe to share, just some advice. To all of those in high school who are griping about jocks, teachers, preppy kids, or whoever, listen closely. High school only lasts four years (for most of us). Once you graduate, anything that happened there doesn't matter. I was a jock in high school, but i worked hard. All athletes are not stupid, contrary to what you all might think. The kids who take the easy way out or get handed favors will never succeed in life. Believe me, i know a few like that. High school is supposed to be the best time of your life. Kick back, and enjoy it while you can. If someone thinks that because he's popular he can do what he wants, just wait about 5 years until he's still all about popularity, and no college woman will come anywhere near him. Teachers have one of the hardest jobs on earth. They have to try to teach a bunch of kids, half of who don't want to be there, and the other half who thinks that they know more than them. Your teachers are some of the wisest people you will ever meet. Cherish and respect them. Even if they are younger than you. So, all in all, high school is 4 short years that everyone wants to forget as you grow older. Don't let someone bother you just because you had to work hard to get the same things they did. Hard work builds character. -Beck
I hate it when people are judged by the way they look, dress, or the amount of money their parents have. Just because I am not super-skinny and rich doesn't mean I am not a fun person to hang around with. I also hate it when the more popular students tease and bully the less-popular students. IT DOESN'T MAKE YOU A BETTER PERSON. -anonymous
The wasted time...the lost e-mail, the persistence that the internet is the wave of the future...an info highway with many slow-downs! What a mess -catnmouse
I work in an office and hate temperamental copy machines that also seem to have an attitude! I have to carefully approach it (usually w/only 1/2 the stack I need to copy) and check out it's mood first. I swear I sometimes see it sneer when it sees me. - NY State, Olomus
MY EX-HUSBAND HAS A NEW WIFE. HE MARRIED HER FOR HER MONEY AND HE CONTINUES TO CALL ME, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. WHEN THEY FIGHT, HE CASUALLY SLIPS IN SOMETHING ABOUT GOING TO SEE ME. NOW SHE THINKS I AM CHASING HER HUSBAND. WHY CANT SHE JUST SEE THAT HE IS CHASING ME. BRANDY, HE IS NOT IN LOVE WITH YOU..DEAL WITH IT. YOU HAVE BEEN HAD WARNED -anonymous love gripe
I am so sick and tired of every single website incorporating 50 million tons of JAVASCRIPT crap on their site. You know, not every button or link or comment or picture has to blink or move or scroll across. If the content of your site is good enough (like mine), you don't need all the superfluous hoopla -jessi
I'm a 19 year old sophomore in college and there's this old lady in my Am. Lit class. First of all it's an honors class which I only take to get my scholarship money, but she takes it for fun. Second of all, it's writing intensive (i.e. at least 6000 words the semester) and she's taking it FOR FUN! And then, in order to make herself look smart, she just repeats what the teacher says, or she says "I was just going to say that!" Sure. And she gives her opinion all the time, like anybody cares. And when someone else is trying to make a point, she interrupts although she's already had her turn. And it's not just me because other people in the class have complained about her, and the teacher keeps trying to ignore her. One day, when she'd been talking for about 30 minutes, the teacher moved on so the old lady tried to say something else, but the teacher ignored her. So she jumped out of her seat and started waving her arms! She needs to get a clue that no one wants to hear her talk! -zoey
Where to start!?! I work in a retail department store. The TOY department. I hate when all these little old women want me to call them when something comes in. If I called everyone who wanted me to, I would spend every minute of every day on the phone. So instead they call me every day asking when the Furbys are coming in!! I DON'T KNOW!!! Why do people ask you when something is coming in??? I don't know of ANYONE in retail who knows when all their stuff will be there!! To top off the work gripes, I am an Asst. Manager and doing my bosses work! He gets $10 and I get $6.40!!! No wonder everyone quits! You can't live on $6.40 an hour!! And... -CUSTOMERS ARE EVIL!!!!

Politicians basically lying in their ads--that's my gripe. Shouldn't this be illegal? I think all political ads should have to pass a test of sorts to determine veracity before they are publicized. -greg
Ok, my biggest gripe about school is that no matter what I do, I get no respect from anyone but my closest friends. People say terrible things behind my back not even trying to be discreet. With twisted, sadistic glee, these monsters can make someone's life a living hell. If people are wondering why kids are killing other kids for vengeance, this might be a dandy place to start. -anonymous school gripe
We can't be friends. You know that I love you more than anything in this world. I can't watch you and your girlfriend and not have a violent reaction. No! You cannot come up here to visit me. Let's stay in our respective corners. You just like to see me squirm. You're not a friend and I don't even understand why I can't imagine being with anyone but you. I hate that I miss you and want you to be here with me every night. So my dreams aren't so hopeless. -anonymous love gripe
I hate AOL. It is way too slow!! The firewall they keep you behind sucks!! If they want to be better then they need to figure out how the hell to speed things up a bit. Furthermore, the firewall has got to go. Really what is the point? If they think by keeping their customers behind a firewall will make them unable to view other carriers they are really stupid. It does not take a really computer smart person to figure out really quick that they are limited because of having AOL....BECK
We have lived in our unit for 6 years. We have kept it tidy, clean and in good condition. When we moved it it was about 6 months old. The back lawn was a bare bit of dirt with clumps of weeds. We made gardens, cultivated the lawn and built a patio with paving. Over a period of 6 years we have paid $39,690-00(Australian) in rent (representing $135-00 per week). Recently the landlord said he would have the unit painted. When the painter arrived he was given instructions to paint only the walls of the kitchen and living room. Not the ceilings, doors, architraves or skirting boards. It would have cost him $300-00 extra to have the entire unit painted throughout. We have several reasons for not buying our own home but now I think it is time we thought seriously about looking for one. -kt-
