I had lunch with an expectant mother yesterday. And I told her the same thing that I tell all new parents – it’s amazing the different things you’ll notice when you become a parent. It’s true. And smokers are just one example. Anyone who has ever read this blog knows that I’m not a big…
Instead of using the word “bionic” in the title of this post, I should have used “moronic” instead. And clearly, we have a winner for this week’s “Moron of the Week Award.” “A New Mexico man is recovering at a Texas burn centre after he lost a drinking game and had his prosthetic leg set…
OK, so today at approximately 1:41 p.m., there was an earthquake near the Ontario/Quebec border. And it reached us in Cleveland, OH. That’s right; C-Town was rocked today. My buddy works in downtown Cleveland and his building swayed. And so did my wife’s building, located about twenty minutes away. According to a report by the USGS, it was…
OK, this isn’t a riddle, but I’ve always wanted to use that line to title a post. Instead, I’ll make a statement that could also be read as a question. We can put a man on the moon but we cannot stop an oil leak? Come on, BP. Or maybe I should say, “Come on,…
My city recently received a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy. As a result, the city advertised that residents could apply for free monies under this program to use towards weatherization. One of the parameters under which you could apply for money was to use it to buy a new energy-efficient furnace. That caught…
Depending on how long you’ve been reading this blog, you’ve probably seen me make the following comment at least once: Some kids truly never have a chance because of their parents. And I mean – never have a chance to succeed. I think that’s a fair and very true comment. Just look around, people watch…
Today I’m featuring two very different cell phone pictures. But both are equally frustrating to me. I’m not specifically picking on Wal-Mart in this post, but they’re just the example I’m using. Why do some retail stores have 25 check-out aisles, but none of them are ever open? This is the case at my local…
I love celebrity gossip. It’s such great blog fodder too. So in honor of the strange news stories this week, I thought it would be fun to vote on who you think is the biggest celebrity moron. Ben Roethlisberger – Quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Big Ben was suspended for six games in the upcoming…
I took the below-picture in a local Applebee’s parking lot. Admittedly, I was intrigued by the duct tape and half-missing front end. The funny thing is that I know this vehicle is a safety hazard, but I can’t argue that, because this car is completely legal in the State of Ohio (where I live), where there…
Here at The Constant Complainer, in addition to my own posts, readers can submit Guest Posts on topics they’d like to complain about. I’d like to welcome Dick with his first Guest Post. His complaint is telemarketing. Great topic! If I were to look at the universal complaint list, I’m sure that telemarketers have a…
