Inaccessible events! I am a lifelong wheelchair user and am sick and tired of events not being accessible or not including that information. Why? What’s the secret? Just freaking say it! The ADA is 35 years old, why isn’t event accessibility standard and explained in advance. I hate having to hunt for this information myself when it should just be publicized. Thanks for the complaint space!
oh yeah. i loved Jenn and Kimberly’s first rant podcast. Here’s my complaint. A good friend who always apologizes for complaining. and the same friend - when I say it’s ok after I just complained to them - texts me afterwards apologizing again. Maybe she’ll see this and feel free to complain WITH NO APOLOGIES.
Two friends and I have a separate text thread called "Complaints Dept." where we are free to share all gripes great and small. The rules are thus: 1) no apologizing for complaining 2) No "silver lining" anything and 3) No pressure to respond to anyone's complaint. It's our pressure-free venting space and I LOVE IT.
I spent TWO FULL DAYS being upset that I found out a (very embarrassing) ex-boyfriend (FROM TEN YEARS AGO) is using me as a “catalyst for change” narrative in podcast interviews. THIS MAN TERRORIZED ME! He was insufferable and embarrassing and rude and hands down the most manipulative boyfriend I’ve ever had, and yet here he is, talking about personal growth via me. I AM IRATE! How dare he cast himself as some main character and me as his muse and think it’s somehow flattering. I think about it randomly and get angry all over again.
God where do I start. The one that faces me daily - and I’m gonna sound like an old person but I don’t care. NYC used to be a place where people moved FAST. So I’m complaining about those who stand on the escalator in the subway station and don’t walk up. I’m taking about people who are able to move, not the infirm. Yes, that was me squeezing by the people even though it was technically a single file escalator. This is not a ride people. Get off your phone for five seconds and get a move on.
I once growled, “You’re not at Disneyland, this isn’t a ride” as I pushed past still-standers on the escalator at Broadway-Lafayette on a particularly grouchy day. I feel seen!
"Also, there is only so much satisfaction in being right when it doesn’t come with a paycheck."
I didn't know I needed to complain more about my own miss until I read this.

Complain away, friend! And also, DO MAKE IT SOMETHING because we love what you make.
COMPLAINING. My one-woman, way off Broadway show, being held nightly at the diner.

This is crazy! I would be irate, too.
