Ancilla Domini Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) Awww. :( Yes, my intention in beginning this thread was to provide adequate shelter for entirely arbitrary grievances. Entirely arbitrary grievances...you got it! It really makes me sad that I will never meet anyone who looks like Glenn Ford in So Ends Our Night (1941). XD (just kidding) Edited February 24, 2014 by Ancilla Domini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentJoy Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 I remember when I was in my late teens, I was going through an emotional slump and I was alllll alooooone and friendless of course and I touched my tongue to my front teeth AND THEY WERE SMOOTH...I had gotten very accustomed to the jagged edges of newly-minted grownup teeth and the edges had worn away and ABANDONED ME in my distress...those slick flat things were useless now!! How was I going to open a bag of potato chips with flat teeth??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximillion Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Talking of teeth, I never could open anything with my teeth and I was positively green with envy while I watched my peers snapping off tape, tearing open whatever and generally using their teeth for all manner of useful things. All mine were good for was eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximillion Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Oh and I love my cat but his hair gets on every bit of clothing I own even though I spend 20 min brushing and combing him each day. DANG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancilla Domini Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Cilla's Random Grievance #3: My mom won't let me go wing-walking, paragliding, or skydiving for my 16th birthday. Oh, humph. (I didn't expect she would. XD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristinaTherese Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 My parents say we can't have a puppy. That's my grievance. (Never mind that I'll have about 6 weeks home before I graduate, so it wouldn't even work for me.) And the school rules say I can't have a kitten or any other pet that doesn't live in a tank with water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandelynmarie Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Like a dish of water in the tank? That could open up to all sorts of possibilities :D I'm agrieved because I just lost my 3" St. Benedict medal :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancilla Domini Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Cilla's Grievance #4: I wrote to my favorite tennis player and asked him for two autographs - one for me, and one for a friend of mine, who asked for the autograph for his birthday. Unfortunately, I was only given one, so I have to send it to my friend and I don't get one for myself! =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spem in alium Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 was Confirmed under my own name, even though I really REALLY WANTED a Confirmation Saint Ugh. I feel your pain. When my siblings and I were confirmed, my mum didn't let us take a Confirmation name but instead made us use our middle names -- something about having too many names. :unsure: I really wanted to take another name, so I was really put out! Luckily, though, none of our middle names is really out there. My sister probably had the most trouble as everyone kept telling her there was no saint associated with her middle name. Grievance: I collect the money from the poor boxes at my church, and someone keeps deciding that pushing copious amounts of chewing gum through the donations slot is a good move. Really gross. I'm becoming quite good at cleaning coins though, so if you ever in need hit me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximillion Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 He wants to buy a car. He has no savings. He wants an expensive car. I am already tired of hearing about this *&%^ car! I bought a wonderbag (http://nb-wonderbag.com/) and now I need to buy a new casserole dish to fit it. It isn't exactly a grievance but I wasn't being thoughtful when I bought the wonderbag as I have no casserole dish that will fit it. My bad!

Spem in alium Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Chewing gum is really gross...chewing gum I hate the most. :mad: With you on that one. It's disgusting. We're not sure if they stick it to the coins or just force it through the slot (given the amount on the actual inside of the box I'm going to guess they force it through), but why they're even chewing gum before or during Mass is beyond me.
