I'm not a whinger......but

[TheOriginalName]

I'm borroring this from a local radio station.
The rules: Your post must start with the phrase "i'm not a whinger but..."
beyond that you can complain\whinge about anything.

I'm not a whinger but...i can't stand it when people stand right in your face when they are talking to you. It's called personal space!!

I hope this takes off....otherwise i'll look a bit silly!!
Opps....already do!!

Whinger or Whiner???

Whinger or whinging is a good Aussie term for someone who goes on and on. Not quite as bad as a whiner though. Don't know about other places.

On with the show.

I'm not a whinger......but what I can't stand are people who are always late. There is usually no reason they are just always late.

No worries.

We usually insert Pommie in front of it.
Sorry, couldn't help myself. No real offence meant to our English friends.

I'm not a whinger... but I really can't stand it when someone accuses you (or someone else) of something really ludicrous, and when you (or someone else) responds by pointing out the absurdity of the accusation, comes back with something like `Hey, you don't have to start getting all defensive about it.' Coded message: `I'm using you as a punching bag, so shut up and take it!'

I'm not a whinger but...I can't stand it when people drive with just their parking lights on, especially at dusk, dawn, or under dark rain clouds. Usually it's guys in sporty cars or pick 'em up trucks thinking it looks cool to be 'parking down the road'. Come on, is at the much more of an effort to go from parking lights to headlights and be seen by other drivers or pedestrians sooner?

Im not a whinger but...I cant stand it when someone drives down the road with one of those SUPER LOUD CD systems..

Oh man I was guilty of that in high school. Mine was so load that I blew out a window in my car. So you can imagine how loud that was.

Im not a whinger...but I cant stand it when people drive under the posted speed limit in the fast lane. This is why I want a big truck, with a 8" lift and a brush gaurd so I can just push them out of the way.

Seems to be a 'driving' thread building, so;

I'm not a whinger, but, more of you could stand to use left turn signals... nothing worse than being stuck behind someone who doesn't, or who pops it on suddenly when the light goes green.

Can I have another?

I'm not a whinger, but, when your garage/rummage/estate sale is over, would it kill you to take down the darn signs at some point?

Well, if it's an estate sale, it wouldn't kill them to do it because they are already dead.

I'm not a whinger, but I hate it when I'm pulling out of a parking space, am about half way out, and I have to slam the breaks because some idiot feels he has to race past me before I back out.

I'm not a whinger, but I hate it when you step out of Wal-Mart and some fool follows you around the parking lot in their car to get your space.

[Kennedy_Shogen_Ryu]

I'm not a whinger but I hate drivers who seem to have absolutely no respect for people on bicycles or for pedestrians.

I'm not a whinger......but I hate it when you're trying to cross the road and cars cut past you or turn without indicating, and people who commit to things and then always pull out, people who talk throughout a movie at the cinema, people who don't eat when you take them to a restarant and you're hungry, people who spit just in front of you as you walk, people who invade your "territorial bubble"... damn it I am a whinger!

I'm not a whinger, but, Winter is coming and I HATE WINTER! OK new snow looks pretty, until you realize it doesn't clear itself off the driveway. The air is crisp and clean smelling, until you remember that you have to heat your house 90 to 100 degrees warmer than the outside temperature to be warm inside.
