The Interference Festivus Airing of Grievances

[U2Girl1978]

I'm with you. I enjoy the anticipation of it all, but then it;s a big let down, sometimes... And the family dynamic throws a whole wrench into the plan. Bah humbug And I still have wrapping to do and a tree to decorate

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I think I went overboard with pressies this year and I'm soooo broke now. I still have to wrap some gifts..ARGH!

yes! that is so me and mr. dis it makes me sad Thats exactly my feeling..excited but not like I should be


of course it could have had something to do with 3 people we know dying last week

Awww Dis, I'm sorry to hear that!

Whoever invented wrapping presents should be drug out in the street and shot! Whatever happened to just throwing something in a bag and throwing a bow on top of it? lol. My living room is going to be a disaster area tomorrow after my nephews and niece tear through it! Than I have MORE nephews and nieces coming later for presents! Anybody happen to have some extra drinks handy? lol.

 

[U2Girl1978]

I can tell you the many grievances I have with wrapping paper.

I totally stink with wrapping gifts. I am a HORRIBLE wrapper.

 

[BonosBaby12]

Hear you on that one U2Girl! Got many where the paper is all bunched up pretty bad,lol. Plus that stupid paper ALWAYS tears when you go to straighten it!

I don't mind the wrapping, but I suck at gift tags and decorating the packages. I cannot tie a nice bow or ribbon on a package to save my life. I also found the best paper to be that double sided wrapping paper on the rolls, the kind the kids sell at school fund raisers

On the stocking things I wrap some of them and leave the rest....

 

[Lila64]

Wrapping I can do - I'm like you Carek - the decorating and bow part is what I suck at. Don't get me started on gift bags - it's what's inside that counts anyways, right?

Cheers!

* Not being in the same time zone, so always missing all the cool people

* Not being here much, so not getting to really know anyone, therefore feeling a little left out *shrug*

* people who know TOO MUCH about U2...who cares how many times a song was played so it gives it a 17% chance of being played again, or people who shit all over someones favourite u2 song choice cause its not "cool" enough *cough one tree hill cough*

* people who write BEST THREAD EVER. BEST TITLE EVER. BEST COMMENT EVER. hahahahha...its just silly. lol

* Being a cheap ass to not pay for a premium membership so can barely do anything on the site except post.

* People slagging off PLEBA. Is it anymore sad or insane then having a heated debate over song titles or a lyric of a u2 song? (I Pleba!)

uhm thats about it....*feels better*

oh if only..

 

[Carek1230]

Excellent grievances, headache.

And now my grievance for the day is.....a 20 year old child who is not answering his phone cuz he is probably out cold from a late night of partying again (his profession) to drag his sorry ass over to his mother's house (which he rarely does cuz the 30 mile drive is too far unless he has loads of laundry and no money) because it's CHRISTMAS DAMMIT! He tells me at 2am online to call and wake him up at noon so he can be here by like 1pm.....WITH LAUNDRY mind you.....but is he here? Noooooooooo....is he answering his phone? Noooooooooooooo....I swear I am gonna start removing a gift each half hour that passes. Brat boy....Well I am gonna start with a drink in a moment, with or without the kid here. happymerryfrigginchristmas.

Here's some of mine:

Ticketbastard
The 45 second rule
people who are constantly talking about themselves
Getting charged a fee at the ATM to take out my own $$
The occasional drama that goes on on this bored

 

[pattip2000]

It sucks that I only joined Interference in September so I missed this whole “fake edge” thing, anyone want to clue me in?


And you can only edit your posts for an hour. after that you have to live with the shame of a typo

-->I hate being at a store, and people don't know where the line starts or that there even is a line and they just cut in
-->I hate that the person in front of you in line wants to return something that was purchased more than 180 days ago, and wants to get (full) credit on her Visa/Mastercard and not store credit. And then it takes 2 of the 3 sales clerks to help figure out what to do and who to call for help. (Why the hell couldn't she have found time in the last 6 months to return $150 worth {2 items} of lingerie?)
-->I hate that the 2nd sales clerk decides she might leave the register while I and others stand in line, leaving the 180+day return lady and the 2 clueless line-cutting teenagers who are purchasing/returning as well. We say something and then she rings us up.
-->I hate that she scans my items and my coupon, but it won't accept the coupon. She has to re-ring and manually enter the discount

All this in one dept. at one time this afternoon. Damn Macy's
