AN OUTLET FOR YOUR FESTIVUS GRIEVANCES

The Tampa Bay Times newspaper is inviting readers to submit their grievances for the year and will print the funniest complaints in celebration of Festivus, the fictional holiday created by the sitcom “Seinfeld.” The Times announced the Eighth Annual Tampa Bay Times Airing of Grievances, which is open to anyone around the world who wishes to voice their complaints on any subject. The Tampa Bay Times has set up a Google Form for anyone with a grievance to air. The Times isn’t alone; many papers and internet sites will accept your Festivus grievances. Here are some of the previous grievances:
– “I have a lot of problems with microwaves that never stop beeping after the timer goes off. I only need 1 beep!”
– “Leaving time on the microwave.”
– “Why do you include the stumps in my bagged romaine lettuce? I am not eating romaine lettuce stumps.”
– “My 12-year-old son calls me ‘bro.’ Last I checked, I was still ‘mom.'”
– “People in the back of the elevator are the first ones to get off? If you’re on a lower floor, stay by the door!”
– “NFL fair catches. The most boring play in football. ”
– “People who put lights on their festivus pole.”
– “I’m not sure because I was under sedation, but I think the doctors were laughing during my colonoscopy.”
– “The same people I aired grievances against last year are even more stupid this year.”
* Wow, it’s like Thanksgiving with my uncle.
* I’m fed up with people who are so self-important, they have their own personal grievances.
* So no matter what you do, somebody out there is going to think you’re a jerk.
* From my experience with Americans, every day of the year is Festivus.
* Speaking of Americans, Festivus is also supposed to have Feats of Strength, but – y’know – lazy.
* PHONE TOPIC: What’s your Festivus grievance?
