Come on, let’s hear your grievances, something i’m sure the rest of us would think is quite trivia but to you, the world has come to an end.

My moan: I really like the name "Karen", and the new usage has attached a lot of negative connotations to it. I feel really sorry for people whose name is now a byword for spoiled white women causing problems.

I was about to say the same thing.

I also get very annoyed that women requesting the good service to which they're entitled are all tarred with this "Karen" brush

Isn't it just "normal" male behaviour? You know, the same way that behaviour that gets praised as "showing leadership" when a bloke does it is criticised as "bossy" when it comes from a woman.

I have an intolerance to made up words... that somehow have become culturally accepted. Anyone uses the word 'yeet' at a social, I will literally just stand up and leave. We have such an eloquent language, with vocabulary for all manner of things. Dont ruin it.

In the shag, spank, kiss, whatever else and avoid games, it seems perfectly acceptable for a guy to "avoid" a guy with no issue. However as a female if I choose to "avoid" a guy they make an issue of it

Here's my first-world moan: My favourite amateur online fiction writer has pivoted to making games – which I'm just not interested in – and has left at least three major ongoing plotlines unresolved. Ugh.

Completely agree! There should be some sort of that says you must give all customers 2 years notice.

Thought of another one: Amazon have got so efficient during the pandemic that their parcels keep turning up several days *before* the delivery date, catching me by surprise, and meaning that I have to be in a constant state of readiness to receive them.

Is a "constant state of readiness" a problem?

It sounds like it could be fun...

Well, no, because it involves wearing enough clothing to answer the door – something I mostly haven't been bothering with since summer broke out!

When I go to coffee shops and ask for a green tea and it’s about the temperature of the sun and filled right at the top. Urgh, I have to kindly ask them to throw some away and put a couple of ice cubes

And let me not start about my SOYA CAPPUCCINO with basically no froth

That's not fair on the poor driver, who just has to do what they're told. They have quite enough on their plates without having to deal with my casual attitude to nudity!
