Encouraged way too much interaction/introduction when clearly not needed or requested. I don't want to be everyone's friend. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a1029.asp Certain staff watch the machines and can apparently work out when a jackpot is due. The really cheeky ones actually turn the machines of if they consider a jackpot is due so that regular punters can't win the top prizes. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a1026.asp Why, as technology gets more sophisticated, do the things we are prepared to accept get poorer in quality? Bigger TVs, yet we watch stuff on tiny mobile phone screens... http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a1021.asp I was involved in a motorcycle accident which wasn't my fault and ended up with a broken leg. My gripe is that through no fault of my own I will suffer with this for life and have also been left seriously out of pocket. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a998.asp Recently, I saw a lorry with a skip on the back which was parked up on the pavement. The driver had gone off and left the engine running. I wanted to cross the road and would usually have waited in the spot where the lorry was. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a982.asp My gripe is about people who walk around town with their jeans or trousers hanging down or low slung trousers. I cannot for the life of me figure out why they do it. Do they think it looks cool and macho or something? http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a962.asp I get so annoyed when I hear people effin' this and effin' that! Older kids and young adults seem to be the worst offenders. Walking through town on most days you’ll hear them cursing and swearing, practically every second word. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a959.asp It's sad when children and other young people don't respect our fallen soldiers, because surely their grandparents where fighting in that war so that their grandchildren could be here today enjoying this freedom. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a958.asp It's not just tickets for major events and concerts, but also excessive post and package or handling charges levied at customers. I feel that all these charges are pretty unreasonable when you consider that the ticket price alone. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a951.asp There used to be a time when you filled your car up at a petrol station, but apparently you do your weekly shopping there now as well. Then there are those who can't get the hang of filling up from any available pump. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a944.asp
