It’s Festivus Eve and the world is ready to air their collective grievances. Whether it is bad drivers, horrible bosses or strange weather, complaints will abound.
If you are so inclined, you can venture over to this page and lodge a complaint with the world, either in person or anonymously. You be the judge.
Complaints collected so far include “I made some jerk chicken the other day. And he didn’t even say thank you!”, “I have a problem with all the people out there who use an exclamation mark to end every sentence in emails”, and “Why isn’t there egg in my egg rolls. Did one of those egg council creeps get in there?”
Tampa Bay Times Top Grievances of 2023
Every year, the Tampa Bay Times asks readers for their petty complaints, and this year they delivered once again.
This year there was a complaint about a meatball bucket: “When you bring a bucket of meatballs to the theme park to graze from like a modern feed bag and halfway through the day your wife dumps them out because, ‘You shouldn’t eat meat from a bucket!””
In good form, a photo of the meatball bucket was included.
