I'm sad that that does sound like a totally legitimate complaint and think you should stop by the compassion thread for some theraputic hugs.
Ow! I thought the more you did a Spin class, the less your butt would hurt, I am p.o.'d because I think they lied :-( Those seats really need more padding...or I could just stick to the Eliptical or treadmill (but treadmills scare me, I always see my life flash before my eyes when I picture myself flying off it and into to a wall or something).
I love to hate my Spin class. Feel so much better once I am done but they freakin' move the bikes around all the time and I can never find the one I like. I should complain, since I am so good at it :-)

I begrudgingly admit that I would watch it and probably cry the entire way through. But would love it.
I too am miffed that this isn't a movie
I am peeved that I have nothing to complain about and miss my friends on hear, but I wanted to say thank you to Cmbwey for sharing the above article... and yes it would make a fabulous film!

Monique, I regret I must complain that I cannot directly state that I like your new avatar/profile-pic but I do. In the US I have only seen the = sign on a blue background but it's the same message of equality so that's terrific. It made me smile to see that you dropped by :-) Thanks for missing us!

I am appalled that no one has hugged me, yet.

Anil, I regret to mention that you are not taking into account that in the Compassion and Hugs for People with Serious Complaints discussion you received hugs. I know because I gave you one for no boyfriend and one for having to wait for the Uni to say Yes.

I want to vehemently complain that I will be truly and seriously upset if Anil cannot do post-graduate studies at the University he might have to leave the country!
I regret wasting $16.44 on a book I anxiously waited a year to read only to be greatly disappointed. I should have spent the money more wisely... Like buying more before running out. Now I'm stuck with no wine and a mediocre book that I just flung across the room.

Rat spit! That stinks! Sorry Anya :-(

Yep, I'm experiencing a rare streak of bad luck. Need some positive vibes, Lucas.

I am beruggered that we didn't celebrate two milestones today. We the members of the Complaint Department now have over 100 members and more than 1,500 complaints in this Post Complaints Here thread. And over 3,000 entries in the Games and Polls.
And thanks to you folks all this happened in only 6 weeks.
Thank you my fellow pioneers for this great advancement in the art of complaining~!

They keep saying they couldn't email me at my email address (which is correct) on whenever, so I check and it says it's not my email address, when it is. And they used to send post-emails al the while.
I am angry that my pain is unbearable and I only get 1-2 hours with tolerable pain or they are unbearable, this makes me very tired and I hate and feel that I could sleep 24 hours if it was not for pain. A week feels very long when you have pain 24/7 and not getting any rest. I hate this and want to have biological medicine now, I have nothing against injecting myself with a 3 cm long needle. Sorry but my mood is down today and most of one week before I can begin biological medicin.
I'm totally pissed sweet Helle is suffering so much pain and has to wait so long for even the hope of finding some relief. :<

So am I. Sorry to hear this Helle :( Hang on in there.
I am pissed off as well.:( *hugs*I am pissed off with myself as well because I don't know if the text below sounds OK:
"I made an application for pursuing a Master's degree in English Literature at your institution on 27 January 2013 and received an e-mail from Mr. Tasho Rachev requesting some supporting documents to consider my application on 7 February 2013. I sent the requested documents to internationadmissions@anglia.co.uk on 20 February 2013. Yet, I have not heard from your institution whether a decision have been made or the process is still going on. I am not urging you to make a haste decision. I just would like to know if the decision-making process is still going on, because my visa is about to expire and I would like to make an application as soon as possible if I am offered a place at your institution or return my home country and wait till a decision is made."
Thank you for your sweet and kind words that means a lot to me JustJen, Kim and Anil *hugs back* thank you for your support :-)
Anil you have the right to write and know how long they are in the process, so you can write an application as soon as possible if you are offered a place at this institution or return to your home country and wait till a decision is made. Your text is OK and your know how to formulates this.
I feeling more and more tired, maybe I need to have my parents with me just to handle my travel to the hospital, I hate to be so weak and helpless, lack of sleep and unbearable pain. I want to be pain free and to be happy again, most weeks now I am down with my mood and tired, tired and tired :-(
Hate and angry about this, sorry to complain so much and not be more positive and happy, the last days I have not have the energy to talk your all and be more active like I want to, hate myself to be like that.

I'm frustrated on your behalf Helle. I know what it is to have to wait for pain relief. I doubt mine was as bad as yours either but still that time seems like it will never end. Hang in there. I sure hope that medicine will give you the relief you need!
Tj thank your for your sweet and kind words that means a lot to me and thank you for the support.
I really hope that this time a will get the right biological medicin that will help me be pain free.
Yes, it feel like it will never end, but hopefully it will end at some time. 3 1/2 year is a long time to go in pain and I want the pain to end and finally be pain free.

What you wrote to the University was perfect Anil. I hope you don't have to go back to Turkey and then wait until you are accepted to return for your postgraduate studies.
I wish you good luck!

Hello, Anil.
Two things: Check the email address to which you sent your documents. As you typed it here on goodreads, the "l" is missing in "internationaladmissions@anglia...etc". I don't know if that was a mistake on your part, or if that's how their address reads. And, if you haven't sent this letter yet, change "haste" to "hasty", as in "hasty decision".
Regards.

Aves, I hasten to admonish you that you are too sweet and helpful in taking time out of your studying for your test to help out poor Anil who is on the verge of an anxiety attack from not knowing his fate.
I feel so low that I can't never be as goodhearted and considerate nor as sharp minded (to catch that potential email address problem) as you are dear Aves. You are very dear to me.
Hugs, Lucas

Anil wrote: "I made an application for pursuing a Master's degree in English Literature..."Anil, I wish you all luck. Following Aves' helpful suggestion re: the email address, I'd only add this suggestion:
Thank you, Aves and Roger, for your suggestions. I checked the e-mail address I sent the documents and it was the right one. I mistyped it while composing the second e-mail. I corrected it. Hopefully they will reply soon. I hate waiting.
I hate that the writing and art that Hector Himeros does isn't providing him much income. Hector is brand new member of the Complaint Department. Check out his postings in the writers and bloggers and artists self promotion section of our group: See an example at:

I am pissed off that there is no answer from the university, which means I am going back to Turkey this Sunday. I'm seriously considering to sue them for the psychological and financial damage they have caused if they don't answer till mid-April.

I mean I wouldn't mind going to Turkey (I loved Istanbul) but that's so different. For me it would be a vacation. For Anil it could be the end of a dream. Except I bet you'll hear from them… maybe late but if so, better late than never.

For Anil it could be the end of a dream. Except I bet you'll hear from them… maybe late but if so, better late than never. "There are several consequences of this:
1 - I will lose the room I'm staying in at the moment and have no place to stay if I am back.
2 - The second term will end in late May, which means I will have even less time to choose a book or two to write 6000-word essays. I don't know if I'll have to take 2 or 3 modules. This will make everything even more challenging. I have a dissertation topic in my mind, but I might not have enough time to write it and polish it.
3 - I will have to deal with even more bureaucracy and I do hate that.

Cmbwey wrote: "s there a point of contact to call, visit the school, call your advisor? "
I regret that Cmbwey's advice to Anil put a question mark at the end when it was such great advice it deserved an exclamation point,
It should have been:
...visit the school, call your advisor!
Anil, do not take no answer for an answer. Keep calling them until you get to the person who can make the decision and give you an answer, As Cmbwey suggested, go to the school and talk to your advisor or anybody until you get a decision or at least know when you will be notified of the decision.
You are our own best advocate. You need to be aggressive in pursuing this rather than just leaving the country. It will be a lot harder to get an answer when you are in Turkey than it will be now while you are still in the UK.
Good luck and Hugs!

Lucas, I would stay here if I could. I hate that I have to get a visa to come to UK and leave as soon as it expires. If I am caught overstaying here--and I would, because I need to get a new visa to study if I am offered a place--I would probably be prohibited to come to UK for 10 years. That's a risk I cannot take unfortunately.
Still, I'll talk to the head of international admission office and ask them to sort out the thing. It does not take long to get a visa--it's taken 5 days longest so far. All I would need to do then to complete the bureaucratic stuff in Turkey and get on a plane.

I'm annoyed because one of my soi-disant "Friends" on Facebook said of my cover photo, which is the same as my goodreads profile photo, "nice legs!!! Like peanut butter.. spread easily.. :0)".

Um, yeah, I would have my knickers in a knot too! That wasn't a very nice thing to say.
I have to complain that I haven't complained in like, 2 days! But now I must say I hate migraines! Don't get them often and aren't prescription meds bad yet but this one I have had since Tuesday morning, my husband is still gone and my middle child has another freakin' fever. I finally caved and took some Excedrin which I HATE because it makes me hyper and jittery, then once it wears off I feel like crap. Ibuprofen just wasn't cutting it this time.
Hi guys, sorry to completely go off at a tangent, but just got this news on Twitter. If you feel like complaining than take a look at this. http://www.goodreads.com/blog/show/41... this has got me and will have me ranting for months.

What does Amazon and co. do when they feel threatened. Just buy the threat! This is really what worries my about our system. Big companies = no choice. Just waiting for now to see the Amazon one click button appear on GR!

I regret I must point out that you didn't consider the bright side of this. At least your friend didn't say just like chunky peanut butter. But you do have studly legs especial when you're in leotards like in your ballet photo.

Unfortunately for Cmbwey, I'm on the horse side of that fence and can totally understand time spent at the farm, as I did the same thing before we were able to keep them at home.
I'd be totally peeved at having to get up before the butt crack of dawn every day to get to work, and I'm a bit depressed that your complaint overrides my complaint of having to get up at 6:30 so I can feed my horses before going to work (45 minute commute) myself.
