We dislike commercials so much we pay for the premium level of every streaming service we subscribe to just to avoid them, and if that’s not available we record a show to watch later, or don’t watch it at all. The worst are the drug commercials, so if there is a live event being televised where we can’t avoid the commercials I mute them, especially if they’re about drugs.

So, what’s your beef? This is the complaint department. What’s bothering you? We’d like to hear it. All complaints will be listened to and given due consideration. You might even get “I’ve been there” or “sorry to hear that,” or maybe even a “poor baby.”

The only rules are 1) no complaining about complainers, 2) no political complaints, 3) no complaining about TOTV, and 4) no complaining about the OP.

I’ll have mine in a little bit, but feel free to start us off.

I have been trying to figure out how to post. Probably simple but, I’m missing something. Sooo here is what I would like to post

I live on the Bogart golf course. As you know, it is presently being renovated. I observed the maintenance people applying fertilizer, liquid and solid a number of times.There have been a few people walking their dogs on the course. tell me if I’m wrong, but isn’t it unhealthy to walk your dog on fertilized grass?

Green light has the right of way; red light has to yield.

Too bad. Commercials are communication and IMHO a means to learn.

I’ve given up on 466A. Being a northerner, I’ve don’t usually go below 466 except for my weekly visits to Shooters World. (Which is another of my complaints, How come there are no shooters world above 466?) I used to take 466A to there but now I just continue straight below 466A to 44A and turn right.

I have two. The first is people who don't tighten up at traffic lights, but leave a car length between themselves and the car in front of them. They are blocking people from getting into turn lanes.

Then there are people who dawdle along in the passing lane, forcing others to pass them in the slow lane. They belong in the slow lane.

Then the people who checkout groceries, lots of groceries and wait until the lady finishes bagging and gives them amount they owe.... then they start digging through their purse for their wallet. Really? You didn't think to be ready with your credit card?

Yeah I know, that's three. I have lots more <g>

Really. Worst is, it takes a long time for a body part to heal.

Contractors using pool bathrooms

Sure this is more prevalent in the new areas ( Eastport ) but contractors should not be using our bathrooms that are inside the gates next to the pools. Period.

Lots of complaints in "Florida's Friendliest Hometown"

I totally get this, but as a guy who spent his career "in the field" (aka NOT a cubicle-dweller) without an office or hallway bathroom handy and with an aging prostate, I am sympathetic to the contractor's need. Especially on hot days where one needs to constantly hydrate and in the newer areas where there are not many gas stations or public buildings to duck into.

Much prefer if they left it clean and not look like a herd of pigs just went through leaving mud and debris everywhere.

Amen

Left turner might be trying to get into the right lane to enter a business, like a gas station on the corner. Whatever lane you think they should turn into, green light has "go" while red light still means "STOP".

God gave us troubles so we would have things to complain about. You would have us go against God's plan? 😱

My general complaint is about people who don't follow the rules. They gain some advantage at the expense of those of us who do.

A corollary complaint is making up rules that aren't enforced. This encourages rule breaking and, if taken to the extreme, ultimately leads to anarchy.

A specific complaint within these general topics is people using the swimming pools without showering first. Yes, it is a rule! Why? Imagine all the chemicals and toxins that go in the water from those who don't bother showering first -- skin creams, sunscreens, hair gels, deodorants, after shave, perfumes ... and things you'd care not to think about.
