The Complaint Corner

This is a list, in no particular order, of some complaints, gripes, irks, or just things I don’t like. Maybe I’m really complaining about the thing or maybe I’m just amused by the idea of someone complaining about the thing. Who knows? Who…cares?

• I guess I’m not a fan of when some folks don’t pronounce the ’x’ in ’sixth’. Instead, they only give it a ’k’ sound, like an ill ordinal.
• I don’t like that golf exists.
• “No Knead” bread recipes (excuse me, breadcipes) on YouTube that include a step that isn’t kneading strictly speaking but there’s a step that’s, like, I mean, that is what that is, though.
• When, for instance on a reality television competition show, people say “lap” when what they really mean is “pass”. You didn’t lap them, Juan. You passed them. You weren’t so far ahead of them that you passed them. You just passed them.
• I like to watch TV. It’s fun. But sometimes when I’m watching a narrative sort of program, I can’t help but realize that I’m watching a bunch of people just playing pretend, and it really takes me out of it. I don’t like it.
