Nope.....these don't count.... definitely not for moaning. They (and most politicians) fit into the fear/hopelessness/depressing category. For moaning it's got to be a list of just small things that add up to a real moan. Shoelace breaks, split ends, getting older, too hot, too cold, I'm hungry, I'm tired, ......hey!! but for the split ends....this is me!!!
Hey I usually start with Global Warming, world over-population and religious extremism....
But I'll give it a go.....my across-the-street-neighbour always parks up on the pavement in front of my house (giant Audi SUV). It boils my blood because we are on a curve and she has a bit of an attitude.
It all all started when I signed for a big package for her one day....which I see as doing a neighbour a favour. I think she sees it slightly differently. That evening I am right in the middle of making dinner....at a tricky little point in the process.....and she sends son over to ask for it. It is a huge package, the kid is like 7, so I grab it and lug it across the street....fully expecting to hear the smoke alarm....but risking it.
This lady opens the door and sort of imperiously says, "Oh.....that goes on the top level." Three story house....
So I plonk it down in the doorway and say something like, "Be sure and lift with the legs....I have to de-glaze now...."
Now she's on the pavement in front of my house...
