Hello loyal readers of The Constant Complainer. Yes, I’m still alive, although it’s been a few months since I last posted. Please accept my apologies for being away. I’m rested, ready to get back on track and hope to be around again on a more regular basis. What, do you ask, was so monumental that…
I can remember my neighbors going Black Friday shopping when I was kid. They’d get up around 7 a.m. and head out to K-Mart to see what the deals were. At the time, I can remember thinking they were nuts to get up that early. But given today’s standards, it seems like we were tame…
As kids, we’ve all been in this situation…you’re walking with your parents and a homeless person comes up and solicits you for money. Being young, you naturally feel bad and want to give them something, such as food or money. Then your parents tell you that the bum only wants the money for alcohol. And…
Unfortunately, bad things happen in life. But that doesn’t make them any easier to understand when they do. And no matter which media outlet is reporting it, it’s hard not to see or hear about a story that upsets you. That reason alone is why my wife doesn’t watch the 11 o’clock news. But even…

I don’t like to cut and paste stories too often, but in this case, my complaint was already built in. This story appeared in print through McClatchy Newspapers in an article by Carrie Rengers. I later found an expanded version of the story on Rengers’ blog. “Heather Ravenstein tried to save Wal-Mart some money Friday by…
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 went to Wal-Mart on Friday night at approximately 10:15 p.m. My wife had forgotten that she needed a flash drive for Saturday morning… Based on my visit, I’ve decided to plead with all of humanity to implement the following new rules. Don’t shop at Wal-Mart. If you must shop at Wal-Mart, do not do…
In the past, whenever we’ve discussed Wal-Mart on this blog, it’s always been entertaining. Some people like Wal-Mart and some people don’t. But one thing always remains true – the opinions on both sides are strong. This post actually involves my wife. Yes, that’s right; Mrs. Constant Complainer! Keep in mind, she’s not a blogger…
