Complain

Bloganuary writing prompt
What do you complain about the most?

I complain about a lot of things. I will give you a list and you will see that the things I complain about the most all boil down to pretty much one thing.

  • Fascists and fascism
  • Nazis and nazi-ism
  • Maga
  • Trump and trump supporters and trump sympathizers and trump collaberators
  • Americans whose words and actions are anti-american and anti-democracy
  • Insurectionists
  • Treasonists
  • Anyone who helped or supported or sympathized with the attempt to overthrow the democratically elected president on January 6, 2021
  • Anti-science
  • Anti-vax
  • Anti-evolution
  • Climate change deniers
  • Misogynists and/or incels
  • Bigots
  • Qanon
  • People who abuse children
  • People who abuse their spouses

You see the trend there? That’s the serious list. That’s the real response to the question. Now I’ll give another, shorter (I hope) list that’s more sarcastic and more in the spirit of kidding around and lowering whatever tension I just built up with my real list.

  • People who drive too slow in the fast lane on the highway
  • Winter weather
  • Traffic jams
  • Morning commutes
  • Evening commutes
  • Country music
  • Television commercials, especially the ones that pimp drugs with awful side effects
  • Did I mention snow?
  • Websites that autoplay video, especially when the audio is not muted
  • The New York Yankees or the Montreal Canadians

There… that’s a good lighten-the-mood kinda list… though I should probably delete it and let the serious list stand on it’s own. I feel a bit like a coward leaving the second list, but what can you do, right?

  1. @robertjames1971.blog Fun fact: It was autoplay unmuted video ads that finally led me to reluctantly install an ad-blocker. Prior to that I'd put up with most advertising, not least because I'd previously worked for a medium-size website that relied on (extremely targeted and non-intrusive) ads to pay my wages. But autoplay unmuted video ads was really the last straw

  2. Jeepers. I bet being in a traffic jam on your morning commute to work in the winter just about makes you lose it!

    I bet if you turned to the country music station at that moment…the universe would somehow balance out.

  3. Keep both lists, brother, I’m right with you on both of them. (Except the commuting. I’m retired; no more of that for me! 😁)

  4. I’m constantly amused by my enjoyment of insurance commercials that have exactly zero impact on my insurance choice. I have State Farm but looove “libety bibety and.. me”.
