Get your poles and prepare for the feats of strength because it’s my favorite time of year! Festivus! Now, I complain all year long, but this is the one day of the year that I’m allowed to and no one can stop me! In fact, you can even complain about me complaining on this day if you want.
This year is a little tougher for me to get my grievance list together, as I’ve gotten a lot better at letting things go and just going with the flow. But, since it’s me, of course I managed to come up with a few. So without further ado, here is my sixth annual Festivus list for 2014. And don’t forget to air yours!
-People who can’t take a hint.
-People who cling to the past.
-Crazy drivers around the holidays.
-My mailman (and to clarify – not all mail carriers, just mine).
-And since we’re on the topic of mail, I hate bringing my neighbor’s mail over.
-The fact that it’s been a year and I still can’t get Fallon tickets.
-That guy who takes that spot in the back at work.
-People not owning up to mistakes.
-People who don’t pay for their mistakes.
-People who get away with it – you know what I mean.
-The ridiculous price of beer at concerts.
-Those people who continue to park in the street and not their driveways.
-That guy who parks in the spot in front of my house, instead of his driveway, which is the longest on the block!
-Paying to check a bag on airlines (JetBlue, please don’t do this too!)
-Resort fees at hotels – since when did you start charging for me to use the pool!
-Traffic.
-Ignorant people.
-Grammatical or spelling errors.
-Working holidays.
-Stupid people.
-Spoilers.
-When you can’t find that song on Spotify.
-Crappy cellphone service.
Happy Festivus everyone!
See what I aired in years past! I have a lot to complain about! It's a Festivus for the Rest of Us!
It’s that time of year again. Get out your pole and air your grievances with me! And then it’s time for feats of strength.
