After this, what will you never complain about again?

[mercuryblues]

For me it is my spouse watching sports.

I used to wake up to Sports Center on the TV in the morning. When they started rehashing the same stories, switched over to some other similar channel. Football, baseball, soccer, basketball college, pro. Didn't matter the game or the level of play. Bowling, golf, badminton, horseshoes, tennis, If it was on, he was watching it. Just try to sneak that remote out of his hand when he dozed off....

I will never complain again. He has taken to following me around and talking to me almost non-stop. I had to kick him out of the kitchen the other day while I was washing my groceries. Yes, he was only trying to help. He started to dry some fruit. When he was done, I caught him putting the grapefruit back in the unsanitized pile. Taking things out of the unsanitized pile and putting them in the sanitized area of the counter.

When I do something he is right there asking me why I am doing that.

I will never complain again. I have come to realize sports is what is keeping our marriage together. LOL

[jls4561]

6. Not even the Dodgers?

[onecaliberal]

16. Nope. I will gleefully celebrate our victories over them though.

5. LOL reminds me of

retirement of the husband in the old fashioned traditional marriage caused the wives to complain about husbands being underfoot and in the way when they no longer went to work!

I remember once laughing when my mother and grandmother were in the kitchen on Thanksgiving, my mother was complaining about several aspects of the preparation and when my father came to the refrigerator to put a bunch of soda cans in it, she continued, "and now he's in here!" like that was the final straw!

11. Retirement wasn't a problem

he had sports.

I'm fully expecting him to start knocking on the bathroom door any day now. Wanting a blow by blow play.

[treestar]

13. Oh so he's home but no sports

Should have been ideal, but you never knew what he would do instead. I'm so not into sports that I didn't even think of that - they are canceled.

7. When my father retired

my mother told me she had apparently never learned how to drive.

[mercuryblues]

15. LOL

8. I cannot say I won't complain again.

I will. I live in an area that is 80% Republican to about 10% Democrats to about 10% those who cannot make up their minds and tend to lean either Republican or Libertarian. I live in a shitty fucking area, in poverty with no hope of escaping. The place is full of homophobes, racists, sexists, transphobes, and anti-Semites as far as the eye can see.

I will always complain.

ALWAYS.

I cannot say I won't complain again. I will.

[mercuryblues]

9. I would too.

That shit just needs complaining about.

[gordianot]

10. I will complain about those who are mismanaging the crisis.

They need to end up in court. When in public I see Fox News and I am a captive audience I will do my best to get it turned off.

[cwydro]

12. I'll never complain about having to go to the store to pick something up.

I made a list this morning, but I realized there’s nothing I HAVE to have.

The problem is that I’m watching YouTube cooking videos, which makes me want to make things, so then I need to go buy ingredients! Gah!

[mercuryblues]

17. I know the feeling

I keep a running list, when we get to the point of actually needed something, we go. I feel like a kid at Christmas when we get most of the stuff on the list.

[cwydro]

19. Lol, yes!

Well, at least we’ll have an appreciation for mundane tasks for awhile after this ends...if it ever does.

[mercuryblues]

20. Yup

I used to go to several different grocery stores a week, depending on what we needed. Now I am 1 and done. It is my only outing, once a week.

[Zoonart]

26. THIS!

[Initech]

14. I will never complain about doing anything.

[LakeArenal]

18. Service workers. Those forced to work. Even in a pandemic.

Doctors, nurses, maintenance crews, fire crews, checkers, postal workers, Officers of any kind, delivery persons, a zillion more

Pharmacists, the House of Representatives,
Bakers, Dairy workers, housekeepers

[Make7]

21. Not enough White House press briefings. ( n/t )

[babydollhead]

22. IDEA! have him watch any sport/game recordings that exist

i think he can watch old games again online. maybe he could make up a dream team of the best players, living or dead. i have more ideas when you are ready for suggestions.

[mercuryblues]

23. I wish

He says it's no fun when you know who'll win. This is a man who can remember every Super Bowl winner. but forgets where his glasses are.

[bluescribbler]

27. The channel which carried the Boston Celtics

Now carries classic games. Last night they carried Game 5 of the 1976 NBA Finals. For those who don't know or have forgotten, the teams were the Celtics and the Phoenix Suns. The teams were tied 2-2 going into the game. My younger brother, (20 years old at the time)m took our mother to the game. I watched from a local bar. The game went into 3 overtimes before the Celtics finally won. It was perhaps the most amazing game in NBA Finals history. Even though I knew how the game turned out, it was still worth watching due to all the little details I had forgotten.

25. Porching the daily paper.

We may yet cancel for safety, but my campaign to get it on the porch is over.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

28. I'll complain about something if I feel like it

I'm still the same person.

[Dirty Socialist]

29. Not getting enough SEX

This has really put a damper on our sex life
