Annual Festivus airing of Grievances

[Bob Nelson 35Whelen]

Bob, that man has ambition.
But there's a shortage of 20 year old cheerleaders .

@CBH Australia
Well when mummy dies he can come and live at your house mate. You are more than welcome to him

Pass, and she won't let me keep company with any 20 year old cheer leaders either.
But he has goals, I hope he finds one before you have to take him in.
You can pick your friends but you can't pick your family.

 

[SaintPanzer]

OK, what the hell. I'll go.

1. People who don't see the value in old things: Old calibers, old cars, old friends.
2. People who say "OK, Boomer", without understanding they've just received some hard-earned wisdom.
3. People who say "OK, Boomer", without realizing I'm actually Generation X.
4. Gaslighting. Not lights running on gas, but rather people who say things like "listen to the crowd saying 'Let's Go Brandon!', when we can all clearly hear three other words. Stop insulting my intelligence.
5. Inflation.
6. The Designated Hitter Rule. There should be a Constitutional amendment banning the Designated Hitter Rule.
7. Catamarans in the America's Cup.
8. Fluorescent "squiggle" light bulbs that have to warm up after you turn them on.
9. People who say the M1911 pistol is "unsafe" as a carry gun because you have to remember to take the safety off.
10. Hipsters. Especially the ones guilty of points 1, 2, 3, and 9.
11. Using a shoot-out to resolve ties in hockey games. Hey, sometimes there's a tie. It's an imperfect world. Screws fall from air-ducts all the time.
12. The "Everyone Gets a Trophy" mentality.
13. Socialism/Communism/Marxism/Authoritarianism.
14. People who don't like things who want to take away other's ability to have those things. I'm looking at you, gun control advocates and those forcing me to buy an electric car!
15. People who think electric cars will solve every environmental problem, without understanding how much colbolt, lithium, copper, etc. you will need to mine, and the inability of our current grid to support it.
16. Mondays.
17. Our descent into an Idiocracy.
18. Automatic spell checker that "corrects" what I typed to something that's not what I meant.
19. Long range hunters. You'll impress me more by telling me how close you were able to stalk it than by telling me you fired a shot at 1,000m.
20. Cars that need a special "dealer only" computer to do simple things like reset the oil change reminder.

There's more... but that's a start.

Now, for feats of strength, who wants to join me to see who can trim the cat's toenails?

Bob, you can't fix Stupid, problem is even stupid people work out how to breed.

Aside from that. I don't think I've met any stupid people here.

High speed lead seems to work.

As a police friend of mine says " so many arsehole so few bullets"
He would love to be able to bitch slap some manners into some of these young people that have no respect for anything and demand they want everything yesterday as well as carry on about their rights.
When we we kids we had rights
The right to be polite and courteous
The right to respect our elders
The right to be stupid and learn from our mistakes read be kids
The right to respect authority.
And the right to get a clip in the ear or a kick up the arse if we didn't do the above.
Oh how things have changed. It appears idiots have more rights than we do.

Ok so hot dogs are generally sold as a pack of 10 but there are only 8 buns in a pack, how can we expect to lead the free world if we can’t even get this right

This is a world-wide conspiracy involving the pope, free masons, the italian mob and probably KKK.

Hey!! I am a lifelong Freemason and 2 time Past Master of my Lodge and I can tell you that we had nothing to do with it. We bitch about it as much as anyone else. Blame it on greedy bakers and meat processors.

I generally am not one for conspiracy theories but this picture speaks volumes, I had not seen it before. Obviously a lot of effort went into covering this up.

 

[Hogpatrol]

No. 1 for me is career politicians. If there were ever a time for term limits, it's now.

“People who are intolerant of other people, and the Dutch.”

I think that’s a movie line haha.

Merry Christmas all.

With my cat, I have about 1.12 minutes of patience before bravery slips into suicidality

That reminds me - people who declaw cats

It was actually Colonel Sanders, in combination with the illuminati. Amazing the lengths people will go for Fried Chicken.

Unfortunately, that’s a two edge sword. It’s really the only thing keeping the administrative state in some check. With term limits, they just have to wait them out.

The Conspiracy of 11 herbs and spices has once again reared its ugly head, it’s all out in the open now. The first HFC (Hitler Fried Chicken) has opened in Thailand. A poultry restaurant bent on world domination. To those who doubt this just remember, It has to be true because I read it on the internet.
