Whine, Whine, Whine

[papayahed]

Hey Kids, Is it just me or does everybody need to have something to complain about? My downstairs neighbor has three cars. The apartment complex has a two car limit. Sometimes this joker parks all three cars in the first three spots in front of our apartment, which means the two other neighbors and myself have to park further away. I don't like my neighbor for other reasons so I don't mind if he gets upset if I do report it yet I haven't done it yet. I think deep down inside I'm happier having this little annoyance to whine about rather then reporting the neighbor and getting a better parking spot.

I like to complain myself. Except when I have to complain about myself. :D

Having said that, you have good reason to be steamed, Papaya. What a jerk. It sounds like you're going to be in clover for awhile. :D (again)

From reading many of your posts, I suspect you as a master of civility. I predict by the end of the week, you've approached the man in such manner as to cause him to voluntarily change his wayward parking ways for no other reason than his own self respect.

Consciousness of guilt, as they say, always robs the culprit of valor. Someone once told me this was the reason Jesus, being only one man, was able to chase all the moneychangers from the Jewish Temple.

Hunh. My son said he would buy a beater and park it one of the places the man had previously occupied and leave it there for-ev-er. :lol:

I didn't have to. When I came home yesterday the neighbor was loading his motorcycle into his van. He told me that somebody knocked his bike over and he was taking it in for repairs. It was not me!! It happened in a restaurant parking lot not at the apartment.

Hey, are you like a preacher? or something?

Now that's not a bad idea!

Why did I think this verb 'to whine' was spelt without an h?
Anyway winging/whining is all part of the criteria of a complicated non verbose person. The more one expresses and the less one whines.

WOW, I thought I was whining about the pain too much when shrapnel from a cop's bullet got stuck in my foot when I was 19. Apparently he thought I was trying to steal something while I was doing my morning run, because we all know that if somebody is running they must be stealing something, RIGHT?!?! Not to flagrantly abuse the race card, but my skin is the color of the contents of a milky way bar so that might... naww I'm in too good of a mood to get upset. The point is...getting practically shot in the foot is something to "whine" about, getting told by your second grade teacher that your mother doesn't really have a PhD and that she is out prostituting herself when at that age you don't even know what prostituting means is something to "whine" about, getting told by everybody because you are tall and of a certain "hue" that either basketball or janitorial positions are your only goal in life and you cannot possibly have ever heard of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass, Nabokov's Lolita, or Faulkner's Absalom! Absalom! let alone having read each of those books a minimum of two times is something to "whine" about. On a more personal note, watching your best friend waste away at the hands of cancer is something to "whine" about, watching your dog hang by a throat choker is something to "whine" about, hearing that your father was murdered by your own mother's family because interracial relationships are taboo to them is something to "whine" about. Trust me, I could write a whole friggin book on the difference between "whining" and "pain", but the line between the two is blurred and they both equally hold you back. I keep a smile on my face and look towards the future with nothing but optimism.

My dog keeps eating my shoes, and the more expensive the more he likes them. He's cool though.

ho hum. Dude, we all have problems. If you feel it necessary to list all your troubles go right ahead but don't try to knock me for posting only the most mundane and anemic for public consumption.

Awww why not go a toy to chew on instead or does just go for the expensive stuff shoe fetish perhaps LOL?

I complain a lot, too much sometimes I think. You have a reason to complain though I think, I get very annoyed when my neighbor parks in my spot, it's just outside my door but apparently when you don't have a car you can't complain....

Dude, we all have problems? Apparently you have absolutely NONE if you are whining about the utter nonsense in your initial post. Parking "Problems"??????? Since when in God's name does a parking "problem" merrit a second thought let alone serve as a complaint?

Also, I should add my dog is a literal thinker. Example: He was taught to poo and wee when he goes out, now he does it every time - both things. Cuz in his mind it's THE ROUTINE. Annoying!- i'm always down to a ration of plastic bags.

See! That's why I think we need those little things to whine about...

My dog used to eat my books. She's been gone awhile so it was cool to find my Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy with teeth marks on the upper left corner.

See, we can all whine about little things.
