Kelly’s Gripes

Due to the lengthy backlog of gripes it is necessary for me to change the format of my column this time to “Kelly’s Top.10 Gripes”.  There are so many various things that have come up recently that I feel it’s in order to get it all out on the table.  It not only reduces my stress level, but it helps you to understand that we need some change in this world. Here I go:

#1 - Men with little dogs. There seems to be an increase in the number of men who are out there walking dogs the size of small cats. Honestly, it just doesn’t look right to me. Sorry.  Also, please don’t put the dog in a basket on the front of your bicycle and ride around the neighborhood…people are talking.

#2 - Women in spandex. It’s okay to wear spandex in the privacy of your home or even
to the gym if necessary, but please avoid wearing your spandex to the grocery store…some of us still have to eat. And if your even slightly overweight, avoid spandex at all costs.

#3 - Hypocondriacs. You know who you are. Remember it’s all in your head, no one wants to hear you day in & day out talk about your numerous ailments and prescriptions. Think positive.

#4 - Florida Drivers. Cars have directional signals for a reason, so how about using them.  Did anyone in that state ever take Driver’s Ed class in high school? 

#5 - Rotaries. Again, did anyone take Driver’s Ed class?  It’s simple, you yield to oncoming traffic and only stop when necessary.

#6 - U.S. Postal Office. There are six windows at the local post office and only one of them is usually open and a line out the door. What’s going on her? Is anyone back there working? Does everyone need to go on break at the same time? And what’s with the postal attitude?

#7 - Presidential Campaigns. This one seems to be going on forever and ever. Maybe between now and November they can dig up some even juicier dirt on each other instead of talking about the real topics we are all concerned about in life.

#8 - Vacations. There is simply not enough of them.

#9 - Cell phones. This is really the #1 of all complaints, but I wanted to make sure you were reading this column. When did we become so completely obsessed with cell phones that we can’t even go shoe shopping without them. I’m sorry, but I do not want to hear you talk to grandma about her bunions while I’m trying on a new pair of Jimmy Choo’s. Please talk somewhere privately, no one wants to listen to your conversation.

#10 - Coffee drinkers. Okay I drink tea instead of coffee. Do you know how hard it is to get a cup of “hot” tea. You coffee drinkers get refill after refill of hot coffee. I get lukewarm water and a dried up lemon. Please somebody heat the water before you serve it!
