Festivus is that magical time of year where you set up your aluminum pole (no tinsel!), prepare to possibly fight in the Feats of Strength and sit down to dinner with your loved ones and tell them all the things they have done to disappoint you throughout the year – AKA The Airing of Grievances.
If you don’t know what we are talking about go watch the Seinfeld episode called “The Strike”.
So we polled the newsroom staff and asked them what grievances they had in 2015. We have left out the names on most of these to protect the grieving.
I am disappointed I have to wait, like, two years for another “Star Wars” movie. So. Many. Questions. — Alan Shaw
RIDICULOUS December weather. Traffic lights in Sarasota that are endless. Asshats in Benzes and BMWs who think they own the roads around here. Did I mention the weather?
Dirty f*cking data. That is all.
Snowbirds.
PIOs from hell. You know who you are.
Email spammers, and co-workers who reply all to email spammers. STOP THE MADNESS.
I would appreciate it if people would stop robbing, and/or killing each other. Typing up their bad behavior hurts my neck.
Why isn’t there a community coffee pot with coffee always running in it?
Injuries this year in the NFL. Goodbye Fantasy Football Championship game.
The increase in my rent and the lack of affordable — like ACTUALLY affordable — housing. Get it together, Sarasota!
Sick of people patting themselves on the back for helping the needy on Christmas and forgetting they live the rest of the days of the year. Sick of wearing a bra and having to shave to be considered “normal” in 2015. Sick of having to wake up before 10 a.m. to “be productive.” Sick of people shooting people all year round.
This damn weather. I don’t want snow. I want 70 for a high and 50 for a low! #WINTERISNOTCOMING
