One other board I go to has one central thread for members to post their little gripes and grumbles. If life gives you a kick in the shins, post it here and get commiserations.
I'll start.
My eyes are bothering me.
Why they are bothering me is that I collected a new pair of glasses this afternoon (five hours or so ago), and my eyes are in the process of getting used to the fact that the left eye doesn't have to strain itself to do the work the right eye was incapable of doing with my two-year-old lenses.
It'll be a couple of days before I'm fully acclimated.

Mhaye, if you have as wicked a scrip as I do for glasses I totally commiserate. I got a pair three years ago, cost me a totally stupid amount of money, had the lenses redone 3 times and could still never wear them. Finally went to the only place in town where they still grind their own lenses and got a perfect fit the first time. Bliss, to be able to see clearly.

It's a gripe. You're allowed to gripe about minor pains. Think of it as stress release.
Edit.
With this post my shop credit reached $1212. If you had phoned that number in the UK, say 40 years ago - what institution would you have reached? (Hint : This ignores exchange identifiers).

Oooh! I know, and I'm an unwashed Yank! Scotland Yard! Indeed that is so. Whitehall 1212 was the public (nonemergency) contact number for New Scotland Yard, the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police. I'm not sure what it is now, but I hope they kept the last four digits. I got rained on walking to my GP's surgery. It's less than 15 minutes (uphill all the way) even for a limping Englishman. I was so wet on arrival that the receptionists commented on my soggy state. And, since I lose umbrellas, I was soggy.

Well, I'm grumbly because I don't have enough money to buy a signature. And I forgot that I NEEDED to buy a signature so wasted 5 minutes looking for the signature field. Grrrrr

Total, you're completely out of line.
First you flirt, and now you're all being generous and stuff. Did you not see the title of this thread? GRIPING AND GRUMBLING, it says. This thread is for bitching and moaning and pissing and griping and grumbling, and how the hell are we supposed to wallow in our gripitude if you're going to keep being all cheerful and helpful and lousy crap like that?

So, I couldn't get my mower started last weekend. The stoopid thing has an offsize sparkplug, so I hadda go get a 11/16th socket deep enough to pull the plug. It was fine, so I dumped out the fuel tank and changed the oil, and when I went to start it again the stupid pull cord stripped out.
I just mowed my front yard with the weedeater. It looks like a 4y/o gave it a haircut. I'm not happy.

It says:
INNOCENCE "In innocence there is no strength against evil." said Sparrowhawk, a little wryly. 'But there is strength in it for good." - Ursula K. Le Guin - The Farthest Shore
I found it by googling for Dr. Horrible icons. That's Penny in the picture.

Well Total, it is true that every time someone posts a gripe you come in here and try to cheer them up. While I'm not wholly against it (after all, the whole point of this thread is to make the gripers feel a little better about things by cathartically grumbling) too much of that will start to raise the tone of the thread. If it gets too happy, I'll have to post a gripe about it.

Yeah, we had to cancel our trip. I guess I shouldn't complain since Mexicans are dying and I just had to cancel my vacation.
