Whining is good for you

Part 2

But this was by far the best news of the month. Whining is good for you (read here just a bit about what we all had to complain about). Our editors were far from done after one little post. And because it is so beneficial, to be continued:

1. The foils from the supermarket

I suspect the staff in the fresh department deliberately stick the label over the edge of the foil. You know, where you open the packaging. It doesn't work. I always end up with a silly little piece of meaningless plastic left over. The misery.

2. Christmas lights that are tangled

Oh yes, we are team Christmas. Oh man, those lights are annoying. I always leave that to my partner. He has a system for it too. You deposit a. the annoying packaging in the trash and b. roll everything neatly around a piece of cardboard or an empty kitchen roll at the end of the party (no, not just thrown loosely in the box). And make sure to check if all those tiny little lights work before you hang them in the tree.

3. That January doesn't come after December

Or, well, that everyone acts like January doesn't come after December. Family gatherings, drinks you don't want to miss, color afternoons to celebrate lunch ladies (does this exist?), but pretty much everything gets crammed into December (here by the way, do you find the survival guide). And in January, we all fall into a black hole. Nothing. To. Do. In that pathetic month.

“So done for this year, there has been enough whining.”

4. First bite thieves

That you've built an incredibly delicious rice cake (or a mouth-watering triple burger) and someone steals your first bite. No way you think this is okay, so they are criminals of the highest order. After that bite, everyone can taste, but let me have that untouched bite. Thanks a lot.

5. The toilet paper issue

It's super dumb when there's only one sad little sheet stuck to the roll with glue residue, because how on earth does that stay stuck otherwise? And you know very well that the new roll is hiding just outside the toilet. But even dumber is when the toilet roll is hung the wrong way. Yes, that can happen. So once and for all: the sheet of the roll should be on top.

6. Sold out

It's ultra-ultra-ultra dumb when you wait nicely for the sale and then it's sold out. And you know what's really sad? That you don't wait for a discount and then it's also sold out. Just when you've convinced yourself that it's totally okay to blow your monthly salary, there's nothing to blow. Crying.

7. Those people who...

Sometimes you have to throw the terror of frustrations out into the world. Beneficial, remember? But oh my, those people who have something to complain about non-stop. I have a neighbor like that, I get so startled that I close the front door again when I see her. So done for this year, there has been enough whining.
