Whinge Binge Wednesday

Maybe the problem is that you got a $12 NZD, or about $8.50 USD, haircut. Seriously man, if you care about your hair it is worth it to get a more expensive haircut. I cringe every time I shell out $30 USD for my haircut, but I always leave satisfied. 

[AceKebabs]

I had a haircut yesterday too and it cost 15 bucks and it's cute nothing to whinge about here

[Puppilull]

Ok, I'll give it a try since I'm very pissed today.

 

Some bastard stole my brand new, fire engine red bike! I now have to go to the police and insurance company, find a new bike... Gah! I don't have time for this!

Stealing from a legal beagle? Not smart!

Can I "whinge" about what the heck "whinge" means?    Is that a NZ term?  I'll "whinge" about your "Eew-Day Tuesday" thread.  I almost threw up after reading your initial post.   I'm afraid to read any of the responses...   I don't have anything else to "whinge" about today...yet.  The day's not over yet.  lol 

[Caz Pedroso]

I'll whinge about how every time I try to get any writing done today something happens to distract me or needs my attention. I keep losing the thread of what I'm writing

I know what whinge means but otherwise have to agree with Valkyrie, only I didn´t even get through your "Eew-Day Tuesday" post and will never return to that thread   Too much ew for me 

 

What I really could whinge about is the weather. I´m so fed up with the rain and coldness    wish it´d be warmer and sunnier 

[Thorn Wilde]

I'll whinge about how sick I am of cleaning. Exams are finally over and Magpie and I have some time to breathe. Except we don't because while we were studying the flat turned into Dresden.

 

We have so much laundry that needs doing...

[MikeL]

Sorry, folks, but I'm having a great day!

 

If I where having a bad day, and being American, I would have to whine rather than whinge.

 

Whine is part of the continuum, complain/whine/bitch.  It's interesting to note that, in that order, they are increasingly more significant and decreasingly effective.

Sorry, I lol'd. "whinge" is a general British thing I think, I use it all the time. Nice to know our mates over in New Zealand do as well.

[MrM]

Yes...its Thursday and I'm a day late and a dollar short...but I don't play by rules anyway.

Firstly, thank you for helping me with the correct spelling of Whinge as I always get it wrong and I like that word.

Secondly, I hate that my Personal Trainer thought my Salt and Pepper hair is mainly Salt! Its clearly got more gold than silver. I know...I put it there!

~cries for my bruised ego~

The fact that GA makes sure the under 18s here are as sweet and innocent as possible, without being exposed to provocative material.

 

It's about the law. I'm certain Myr doesn't want to get in legal trouble, and I sure don't, so I don't go around exposing teenagers to provocative material. It's actually common sense. Ask yourself: "Do I want to go to jail for being sexually explicit to a minor?" The answer is easy. It doesn't matter if they can google it themselves, it's about personal responsibility.

Lacey is right. If you choose to go google up some porn or whatever that is between you, your parents and what ever the law in your area allows. If I were to offer it to you, that is a completely different ballgame. You will just need to go learn this stuff on the sly like the rest of us did!

[drpaladin]

I don't often whinge as I'm a generally happy guy, but today I'm gonna whinge about GA's terms and conditions. Firstly, no one reads them. Secondly, they are far too restrictive. There's a thing called freedom of speech, you know!

 

Do you hate me? Whinge about it!

I find it particularly ironic for you to complain about freedom of speech, J. You must personally pre-approve every comment made on The Jordanation blog. That is a restrictive setting that GA doesn't even recommend. That's annoying and makes people not want to post comments. That's my whinge, and no I don't hate you.

It's Thursday already - but this happened on Wednesday so I guess it still counts!  I have a message on my work voice mail that says if you have reached the voice mail I am out of the office and will return your call next time I am in.  What part of that message can be interpreted as hang up and try back every 5 minutes for half an hour before actually leaving your name and number so I CAN call you back once I am free to do so?

Umm...  How did you know they called back every 5 minutes for a half hour?   LOL

 

I think everyone hates voice mail. I have a really entertaining one that people like to hear. It's funny to answer your phone and they actually wanted your voice mail.

Our office voicemail says our office closed over lunch hour. We've had people leave multiple messages over that hour wondering why no one has called them back yet.

I was in the ring teaching. Unless it is a regular barn customer (who's name would show on my cell's caller ID) I let it go to voice mail and return the calls when I am not trying to supervise children and horses. When I check my phone later and the same number comes up 6 times with time tags I know the same one has done it!

It's someone who knows or guesses you're just screening calls. I'd keep calling too.

You'd prefer I leave a beginner to fend for themselves while I answer an impatient callers questions?

 No. I wonder why you don't just turn off your phone when you're busy. Treat all callers equally. If you can answer one from 'a regular barn customer,' you could answer them all.

[Never Surrender]

my phone is so old, it freezes and shuts down when i try and listen to voicemail therefore, i just ignore everybody equally

Congrats to Kitt who wears the Whinging crown of Wednesday for this week!

 

Today I'm going to Whinge about the hate I've been receiving on here for my well..., less than fortunate comments and sayings. It's a little frustrating because I can't speak as freely as I normally do without offending someone. I deserve it I guess, but when I can't stop the backlash, all I can do is Whinge.

 

What's your Whinge for this week? Share it with us to earn the crown of Whinge for this week!
