Poor spelling and incorrect use of words Poor spelling and incorrect use of words
Poor spelling and phrasing devalues what is often a good argument, or at least a sincerely felt one. Good writing on the other hand can be persuasive. Surely being persuasive is one benefit of griping.

Screaming brats during the school holidays Screaming brats during the school holidays
Instead of a reward may I suggest a gag, or better still remove the screaming brat from my vicinity and inflict it on someone else please. Even better don't have kids in the first place and save the planet!

Vomit all over the streets at the weekend Vomit all over the streets at the weekend
Vomit! I'm sorry, but there it is... all over the streets every week and quite frankly I'm sick of it!. Saturday and Sunday mornings the detritus of another night of binge drinking and kebab eating.

Whatever happened to spatial awareness? Whatever happened to spatial awareness?
Special harness? No, spatial awareness - as in people knowing what things are in their immediate vicinity and being able to avoid knocking into them. This seems to be something of a dying art in this country.

Smart, casual or something in between? Smart, casual or something in between?
I've noticed a real slip in dress standards these days. From old folk with clothes that are in need of a good wash, to kids with their jean halfway down their backside. Then there's office workers with ill fitting suits.

NCP pay by phone and season tickets NCP pay by phone and season tickets
Isn't it time for a competition enquiry into NCP? Every station in my area with a direct line to London has outsourced its car park to this fine organisation, and I now have a thick file of dog-eared letters to show for it.

Not enough disabled parking spaces Not enough disabled parking spaces
Our local multi-story car park has combined the disabled parking spaces with the parent and child parking spaces.For starters, having kids with you is not akin to being disabled. Granted, it's difficult, but it's not the same thing at all.

Did the new millennium really start in 2000? Did the new millennium really start in 2000?
The notion that getting to the year 2000 was the start of a new millennium or that getting to 2010 enters us into a new decade, are both a bunch of badly counted grapes. Isn't time normally counted from zero?

Things I don't like about Christmas Things I don't like about Christmas
Christmas is just around the corner and Christmas trees, lights, crackers, puddings, mince pies, nuts, those trashy gift sets, chocolates, wine and cheese boards all suddenly pop up on the shelves as if by magic.
