Holidays 🎆 Happy Festivus!!

I can't find the Festivus Pole. I thought I put it in the crawlspace last year, but now it seems to be gone.

What more could I say when I looked at today and noticed that it was Festivus.

How is everyone's Airing of Grievances going? :D

My Airing of Grievances:

There's too many cry baby wankers in this world. See: any thread in the "Career" forums.
 
Well Hink, I'm terribly disappointed in your post total for the year. Also, you smell. Now I challenge btrage to a wrastling match.
 
We had a Festivus in college once. It was a disaster. Everything went well until the airing of the grievances. I had actually written out an essay on mine, and they were ridiculous. All made up and off the wall. Same with my buddy. Apparently some of the people didn't get the memo that these were supposed to be lighthearted and funny and at some point they starting turning serious. We had a nickname for one girl we didn't really like much (she was room mates with some girls we did like down the all, so where they went, she went). Her nickname was "dumb b****", we called her DB for short. One of the guys addressed her as DB in his grievances, and she questioned what it meant. Without skipping a beat he told her. She broke down in tears and ran from the room, her friends in tow. My jerk room mate blamed by buddy for the whole thing and they got in an argument. It was hilarious and pretty much summed up what I expected Festivus to be.
 
I must dig out the old pole from the garage, but I think it's actually a support beam. Either way it has no tinsel so it works.

Now for the airing of grievances.
There are to many damn junkyards or people with just junky yards in my county. Clean you stuff up!
All the garland, wreaths, and trees around the office are making me feel cramped.
Why in the hell is there a Christmas cat taped to my window?
Hink needs to post more!
No one warned me I-35 through Texas sucks to drive on.
There needs to be a middle finger emoticon!
There also needs to be a get off my lawn emoticon!
People use too many emoticons!
 
The 2014 Day of Festivus is waning...I have no Grievances to Air at this moment. I express them throughout the year.

Our Downtown Merchants meeting turned into the Festivus tradition of Airing the Grievances - except they were not joking or lighthearted. They were mean and directed at 3 employees of the city...one being me.

If I were to guess, I would think some of that came from the "fancy" wine place? Was my old friend there? Occasionally I miss her :lmao:.

omg how awful - I am sorry
 
I looked in the attic this weekend to get ready & bring down the decorations. The Festivus Pole was right next to the wreath.

Everything is covered in dust. I'll have to clean it up before it even comes out of the attic and it'll be cold up there. :cool:
 
My useless kids were supposed to do it and boy do I have a bone to pick with each and every one of them.
