Gripe (n.): What Australians use to make wine

You know what I will never understand?

1. Why children can never watch where they are going (and if you run into them, you are always at fault)

2. Why aunties who would usually complain about back aches
and arthritic joints never fail to bulldoze their way through a thick
crowd in the MRT station, or shove a strong, virile young man aside while
boarding the bus

3. Why people bother to use headphones when they play their music at full
blast only to impose upon others within a 2 metre radius their horrendous
selection of Eurotrash or ah beng techno

4. read: #3, during early morning rush hour on a packed train

5. Why when your parents meet up with old schoolmates they invariably dive
into a discussion about the various ailments that plague them in certain parts
of their anatomy too embarassing to mention on this blog

6. Why when you ask for "kopi, siu dai" the auntie never
takes you seriously. Eh, some people may be diabetic dammit.

7. Why people keep abusing the use of the word "whereby"

8. Why some people use commas every chance they get

9. Why so many people don't know the difference between "everyday" and
"every day". It disturbs me.
