Airing of Grievances – Festivus 2025

I’ve got a lot of problems with you people and now you’re gonna hear about it.

Festivus Airing of Grievances

NOTE The airing of grievances has ended. You may view the results here.

The “Airing of Grievances,” a key part of Festivus, involves participants telling friends and family about all the disappointments they’ve experienced in the past year. In this online forum, we give people a chance to air their grievances.

Scroll down to read grievances aired by others, or submit your own grievance in the form at the bottom of the page.

Please note! Name and email are not required. Your grievance will not appear immediately. We reserve the right to moderate the submissions and will remove anything that is libellous, inflammatory, racist, hate speech, or fake news. We also ignore anything that is for or against a specific political figure or political party. Of course, we realize people have complaints, but going back and forth on politics is simply pathetic. If you have a problem with this, please submit your complaint as a grievance. We just love to hear from our fans.

  1. The Beatles “Birthday” song should have replaced “Happy Birthday” as the official birthday song years ago. It’s much more upbeat.

  2. The password grievance:

    “Your new password cannot be the same as your old password.”

    But you just told me my old password was wrong!

  3. There is no truth and justice anymore. Money buys the power to skew the truth. Social media spreads the lies that the sheep talk about in the flock. The poor stay poor.

  4. For the purposes of transparency the government releases documents to the public. But they’re all blacked out. What’s the point?

  5. The Winnipeg Jets go from the best team in the NHL to one of the worst teams in the league a year later. That’s my grievance.

    • My grievance is that the Quebec Nordiques have been gone for 30 years now. The fact that Quebec City doesn’t have an NHL team sucks. There are now a generation of Quebecers who have not been around to experience the team, which is sad. What’s even sadder is that Quebec City now follows the Montreal Canadiens, their rival. People in Quebec City rooting for the Habs is not cool. It’s insulting! Disgusting is ex-Nordiques fans rooting for the Canadiens! What the hell?

      Quebec City needs an NHL team badly. They have the arena to do so. Now they need a team.

  6. Not really a grievance , well, okay maybe it is, but when I’m listening to the 60s xmsirius channel and the Fifth Dimension song , ‘Aquarius ‘ comes on, the word Aquarius gets substituted in my brain for ‘Festivus’. So on December 23rd, in the morning, I hear a chorus of “This is the Dawning of the Day of the Festivus”…. thanks to the brilliant, fun, crazy Seinfeld team, I have that stuck in my brain this time every year. Much love to all my fellow Seinfeld fans and those who love Festivus like I do. Stay safe, stay well, stay awesome.

  7. The merger between Cedar Fair and Six Flags. We’ve lost Six Flags America, other parks could be in danger of closing, and operations at Cedar Point have suffered.

  8. Does anyone else have that one coworker that drags the staff meeting out to an hour+ when it could last a mere 30-45 min if he would just refrain from opening his mouth & rattling on for countless minutes on end? Does anyone else still have to get in their car & drive to their staff meetings or are your meetings in the comfort of your home, broadcast on Zoom like most all other modern day places of employment?

    Serenity now!

  9. If you think for a moment that cutting multiple people off on the roads is acceptable just because you’re in a hurry to get to the convenience store for your scratch off and pack of cigarettes, then you deserve that road rager you regularly deal with.

  10. I just finished watching season 2 of Squid Game: the Challenge. I’m not going to give away the results in case anyone is planning to watch it, but let’s just say that it wasn’t as good as the first season. I remember after the competition was over in season one, they were catching up with some of the contestants to see what they were up to. In season two, they didn’t do that. They just showed the winner before cutting to people being recruited for the next season. Maybe catching up with the contestants isn’t essential, but it’s sure as hell convenient so that we can see what the most prominent characters are now up to. What the hell, Squid Game?
