Ok, I have to complain about you completely cheapening Complaint Thursdays. Two extra days? Not good, blue, not good.

My wife's home office line gets those calls all the time. Really annoying - especially when they call after hours and start yelling the message onto the answering machine.
I wish I'd actually get some yelling. That would mean its a real person on the line and I could tell them "stop calling me or I'll kill you". I'm sure that would be effective.

Is it considered out of shape to walk a dog roughly 3 miles a day and feel like Kathy Bates went "Misery" on my legs?
You mean the calves can't handle a 3 mile walk? :o

Hot of the presses...
Worked late last night, tried to sleep in a little this morning. Was kindly awakened by my cell phone going off a few minutes ago. Didn't recognize the number on the caller ID, but since the wife and little one are traveling this week I answered it without thought. Phone line had enough static so I could not understand what the woman was saying - she must have been calling from inside a tunnel underwater - so the line went dead after about 20 seconds.
A little Google search on the number reveals that I was awakened by a telemarketer/fundraiser soliciting for something or another. :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash:
I get daily calls at my office phone with a recorded message telling me that the factory warranty on my car is about to/has expired. That's news to me, especially since I don't have a car. I also get ones warning me about the high payments and interest rates on my credit card. Then there's the weekly call to schedule the installation of my new direct tv system.
I never get actual human messages, so I can't tell these idiots that they have the wrong number and to stop calling me. Even then, I wouldn't want to go through that hassle since I'm actually supposed to be doing work. I wish they'd just give me a new office number so I could start from scratch. I get so few work related calls anyway. I think my boss is about the only person who actually has this number.

Hockey game mishaps may be a trend with me in this thread. I was tripped awkwardly near the boards last night and ended up doing a split into the boards. I don't think my legs have ever bent that far before, poor poor groin.
But for some strange reason, it makes me think of this:
-
Oh, and that rhythmic gymnastics crap I caught on the tube this morning? Wow. Thank God we've got that, badminton, speed walking and BMX biking in these games, and that games with true winners/losers like baseball and softball are being bumped from the next Olympiad.
I'd much rather see the BMX biking instead of equestrian. At least the bikers actually power the thing they're riding. I really hope they put the medal around the horse's neck at that ceremony.

In my hockey game on tuesday night, a teammate made an unexpected turn in front of me when I was crashing the net. We were lined up perfectly for a knee-knee collision. I thought I side stepped it just enough to avoid anything serious and it ended up being a very minor collision... or so I thought. I woke up yesterday and couldn't bend the knee without sharp pain. But since I'm so stubborn, of course I ended up playing again last night.
But really, how the hell did I end up hurting myself when I originally thought I had avoided the collision completely? Knees suck.

Another pet peeve:
People who click wildly hoping that any underlined text is a hyperlink, and is not just plain old underlined text.
But I cleaned it up for the Internet-impaired.
Aren't those the people who lead to that damn fairy link being posted non-stop over at TSW?

Don't blame me. I voted for Kodos.

Headaches that force me out of a pickup hockey session after about 20 minutes suck.

Well now I have to complain about one of the mods of this board being a dirty hippie. This can only lead to bad things.

I still have to work another day until I get to take my vacation. I'm ready to go now. :wallbash:

I'm definitely taking advantage of this little bonus.
So last night in my hockey game, this huge guy absolutely laid me out. I never even took a hit like that one when I played in actual contact leagues back in the day. Somehow the refs didn't call anything. Now I don't mind getting hit, it makes the games more fun, but this one was a bit over the top. I asked the ref about it at the next whistle and he told me he didn't see anything. I WAS CARRYING THE PUCK! What exactly is this ref watching if he didn't see anything?

I hate that I need exactly 3 friends with me when I open a Kit Kat bar...otherwise someone gets screwed.
Now I want a Kit Kat. Thanks. :angry:

Let me clear myself up -- I was out until 5:30 last night, finally got to sleep about 6 or 7. THEN had to get up at 9. ;]
PS: I'm 18.
And you're complaining about having to wake up at 9 the next day? It's your own damn fault.

I hate how groups of 3 or more people think they're somehow entitled to the sidewalk more than anyone else. If all of you have to walk side by side, I'm not moving out of your way. Since you're probably smaller than me, I won't be the one who ends up on my ass.

Close enough! ;)
It's been a slow week, so I had to find something to complain about.

Today I'm going to complain about my stupid self. I've been trying all summer to get a set running schedule down to supplement my workout. Every time I start running, I hurt myself and then I can't run. In the spring it was a pulled muscle from hockey, a few months back it was a sprained ankle. Last night I cut my foot open on my box-spring. I CAN'T WIN! :wallbash: How am I supposed to get in shape if I can't run consistently?
UGH.
Reminds me of when I hurt my shoulder back in December. My right arm was essentially useless so obviously I had to stop lifting. Ok, so it was time to catch up on the cardio I had been slacking off on a bit. A day or two later something goes wrong in my knee during a hockey game (playing hockey with one arm was fun). The only thing I could do for about a month was ride a bike.
Oh, and just to keep on topic, I'll complain about the fact that now that I'm well clear of those injuries, my schedule is too busy to find enough time to hit the gym consistently.

Its not August yet. Get it right Blue. :censored:
Ok, for some reason this file that I'm working on here with two other people keeps randomly creating backup copies of itself. Normally that sounds like a good thing, but this one makes no sense. It has happened twice now this month, but with no real rhyme or reason to it. I have limited file space to work with, so its very annoying. Even stranger, for some reason the backup file is always noticeably larger than the original. How in the hell does that happen? :wallbash:
I also hate the idiot kids across the street from my apartment who still think its the 4th of July and keep firing off fireworks (usually towards buildings and cars). These idiots also fire them when the sun is still out. Smart. :rolleyes:

Did you make a huge scene?
Luckily I dodged it.

The worst with that is when someone's walking with an umbrella, and they're not watching behind them. Then you get poked in the gut with the tip of an umbrella when they start walking.
Some woman randomly jabbed her folded up umbrella to the side as I was walking past her today. Take a wild guess what her umbrella was level with.

And then there's that gem of a thread title over at TSW, something like "Bills predicted to loose 31-9".
