here's my complaint. it's april. i live in a ****ing desert. it's snowing, and my sat dish is inoperable. 8 years of never having a problem, yet "bones" is new tonight for the first time in 3 weeks, and my crappy provider's equipment gets bogged down by a dusting of powder. 7.5 years with dish network and we *never* had an issue. 6 months with DTV, and i've had nothing BUT issues.
damn you, two year contract. damn you to hell.
Is this with Directv or someone completely different?

Why is Carolina still in the playoff hunt...
Why does the NYS Government suck...
WHy does the federal government suck...
Why am I going to get flagged for terrorism for posting this...
Why do people have droids that automatically post on facebook where they are ( I am really not that interested)...
How are my roomates still in pharmacy school when they can't even get up for a class at noon, let alone one at eight AM ( you should really double check your Rxs if they are going to be your pharmacist)
Why do some people cross the street extremely slowly even though they know you have a green light...
And that is what grinds my gears....
Add this to your list as well. I remember when they tried to get the public to buy into "Gasohol" back in the 80's. Well, it didn't fly, so they nixed it. Now, they figure that since they can't do a hard sell, they'll force it on us. Typical Communists. (No, I will not back down from calling them that. When one of my fellow truckers tells me that he came to America from Romania back in the mid-80's to get away from Communism, only to discover that they've implemented it over here now, I totally understand him. This is not the same country I grew up in and I know that there are board members on here who are older than I am who know this all too well.)
IIRC, more corn used for fuel means less corn on the dinner table. Plus, more fields devoted to corn means less wheat and other essential crops grown. This picture is just completely messed up.

I have sort of an EP-sized list of complaints:
1, Tiësto is way too overrated.
2, John OO Fleming is way too underrated.
3, Maybe it's a girl thing, but I certainly can't dig this (with all due apologies to the lone person who created this page).
4, With all due apologies to Ron White, "You can't fix stupid Albany".

I had to find something to get TPB and Rebecca Black out of my head:
-
I hate you, TAS. I really do.
You could always listen to Jackie Evancho sing. The difference betweeen her and Rebecca Black is night and day.
-
You guys have CB radios now? Technology!
Fixed. "Smart" guy. <_<
-
I think about that tune every time I hear guys argue over the CB radio over really petty stuff.
-
I've been involved twice in my life, a protest where we refused to play a song. Achy Breaky Heart, and Sweet Caroline. The second was my doing. The first was classic because the lead trumpet just quit the show when the band leader called it out. I covered it for him, but was laughing so hard I almlost cried.
I don't know where he is now, but I'm sure his head exploded when Miley hit the scene.
Do you ever wish the whole Cyrus brood would just go away from the limelight?
-
i'm so sorry for this, but it's entirely responsive to the thread title.

i love my children more than words can express. but will i ever forgive the older girls for introducing me to this ear-worm-abomination? i'm not sure.
:sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:
At least the people in the Helsinki Complaints Choir could sing.
-
Yes, this. The next tree-hugger that utters the phrase "global warming" is getting a mouthful of yellow snow. :pirate:
I KNOW this guy could use some of that yellow stuff!!!
Like one of my friends (who happens to be a meteorologist) told me one time, "I think he should be criminally indicted for fraud".
Word.

That is bizarre. Can't. Stop. Watching.
It may be bizarre, but you have to admit that it was very creative on their part. Most of those very same things they said could be said over here as well (with a few word substitutions).
-
This is a schizophrenic video of sorts. Why? Well, it's a song I can't get out of my head, but I wonder if I should have saved it for next Thursday.
-
There are so many great song clips in this thread that I really would not want to get out of my head, but for anyone with young kids "Elmo's Song" has got to be the worst thing for any parent to find stuck in their head. I can't get on this computer without my daughter chanting one of the few words she knows "Elmo".
I swear she can watch the same Elmo clips for months...and months
You find yourself at work with your buds and catch yourself humming "la-la-lala...la-la-lala" and you slap yourself before anyone else does. :blush:
Yep.
You better get your gag reflex going, because I'm sure this will bring back memories of when you were younger. :sick:

You are lucky you are on this side of the pond. That avatar would get you shot where you come from.
Even here, stay out of Boston and Hibernian clubs. They all think they are in the IRA.
Believe it or not, I would wear an orange shirt every St. Patrick's Day when I went to both GCC and RIT. Either no one thought anything of it, or they talked behind my back, but it didn't matter to me anyway.
I could have put this guy up for an avatar. :D
Take your pick (and "neither" is not an option).
-
It's St. Patrick's Day and I gave up beer for lent. My own fault really but oh well.
If I didn't have to work, I'd take your beer in a heartbeat. That's the joy of being Protestant! :D

Here is my yearly complaint.
I. Hate. March. Madness.
I hate the myriad of tournaments leading up to March Madness.
I hate "bracketology".
I hate when some announcer screams "Unbelievable!!!" when there is a buzzer beater. What's not to believe? We just saw that same play 4 times yesterday.
I hate the sneaker squeaks.
I hate that obnoxious substitution buzzer.
Boy, that's a lot of hate. Let's just say I really don't like it.
Oh, and my kid's sick again.
It's all about TV ratings. Besides, I don't know why people think that basketball is all that great.
But you're right. All those things that you mentioned are extremely annoying.
Sorry about your kid. Hope he gets well soon.
Now, my complaint. Telling my dispatcher that I don't have the hours to make on-time delivery, and yet they still insist that I do the load anyway. Um, helloooooo! You're back at headquarters over a thousand miles away, you've never driven a truck, and you don't know the traffic patterns where I'm at. (can't reveal current location, but it is somewhere along the I-95 corridor heading toward south central PA). I've been doing this trick for almost eight years. I know how to plan my trips and I know when something isn't going to work. But hey: I guess I'm just a dumb truck driver who isn't paid to think.

I admit that hardly anyone here likes classical music (It's amazing that WNED-FM is still in business notwithstanding after all these years). Granted, I've heard better performances of this piece from other orchestral groups. However, this piece alone stirs up certain emotions in me:
-
You just gave me another complaint - The Weather Channel. It has become unwatchable. They've turned it into one of those horrible morning shows filled with a bunch of cackling hags yelling the weather at me. Then they toss to Jim Cantfindastory making a huge deal about a slush-puddle at the corner of Main and 1st, Yourtown, U.S.A. I miss the days when it was just a guy in a flannel shirt in front of a weather map.
Was Jim Cantore separated at birth from this guy?

In fairness though, most of the difference in price between US and Europe and Canada is taxes added. The raw price of a barrel of gasoline is the same everywhere. Taxes make up most of the country to country differences.
To keep this complaint oriented.... Damn taxes !!!
Those are much worse in Europe too... <_<
-
I wasn't sure about the number but one report I saw said that every penny the gas prices rise affects the economy by $1 billion.
The associated costs -- transporting food, essentials, etc - are always the ones that people forget about when the prices rise.
IDK how many people outside of the transportation industry know about this. I certainly didn't know it until I became a truck driver. Aside from dealing with reckless four-wheelers and outlaw truckers, I learned about the other factors that can have an impact on our economy.
Also, if you think about it, the rise in the price of oil affects the global economy in each respective country. If anyone thinks we have it bad over here, try Europe. Granted, the article is a bit dated, but I think it's still relevant.

Gas prices do go up every year at this time but not this much. This has a lot to do with the instability in the Middle East (Libya and Egypt) and speculators pushing the cost of oil up.
At lunchtime today gas was $3.42. I left work and it's at $3.59. It's ridiculous.
+1
If you think that's bad, try the price of diesel fuel. That's what should have everyone concerned. Why? Because trucks and trains need it to ship the goods that we buy, right down to our groceries. And then the cost gets passed down to us.
So, whenever I hear the next report on the Inflation Index, I'm going to take it with a grain of salt.
-
$1 US = $.97 Canadian
How you like them apples???
:angry: This is what a weak dollar does to us.
-
Just stopped for gas. $3.69 a gallon! :censored:
NOTICE: These are just observations.
I remember back in the 90's when Clinton decided to tap the strategic oil reserves to ease rising gas prices back then. Republicans balked at it. Then, when gas prices were on the rise again in the last decade, Bush 43 tapped into the same reserves.
They're skyrocketing now, and Obama hasn't done a thing about it.
Thoughts, anyone?

I heard about these guys on CNN, and now I can't get this song out of my head. Kudos to CNN for bringing up this feature story!

Just when it can't get any worse, it does.
And we thought Robert Esche lost it back in 2006...
