I will start.
My complaint is:
My car blew up yesterday. It's the worst day of my life. I thought I could carry the shopping all the way home and just get exercised at the same time, but my calculation was incorrect for a shopping load of 4L of milk, 4L of OJ and various other items. I got stuck halfway on the road.
I had just nicknamed my car 'serenity' before it blew up and I don't think cars should be so troublesome.

Never feed it on the kitchen table or from your sandwich again., even if it jumps up and starts making a fuss; just push it off.
If it doesn't jump up at all, reward it with a piece of ham in its own food bowl. Make sure it knows that it's you that sets the terms of when it gets food, not the cat.
Don't change your mind occasionally or for a 'special' treat, as it will just confuse the animal and make it think that if it pesters enough, it will get your sandwich eventually.

I can't get up when the alarm rings. I keep hitting snooze until I'm nearly always slightly late for class. Any advice?
watch carefully to find how much icecream is left in your bowl when you just start to feel a little queezy and then stop. Next time, put that much , plus a spoonful or two, less into your bowl to start with.
I start to 'run out of gas' about 4:30 PM and my shift isn't over until 5:45 PM, but I have to be just as productive as earlier in the day. I have a 15 minute break at 3:15 and I take a walk outside in the fresh air and have a granola bar or an apple and a cup of Earl Grey tea. Any advice?

Simple. We start an uprising, then have all of our kind collaborate with us, and win the war. Then I seat you emperor, and I stand as heir apparent. Then I start a coup d'état against your "empire," and dethrone you, and I am emperor in an instant. Resolved!
How do I earn a lot of money yet stay at home, being a bum?

Easy.... Go next door and destroy their speakers and then run around the room nine million times and shouting superboyian is the best Ahh that should solve the problem.
Now, why is the big PC at my house playing up, its starting to do my head in and for some reason it spits at me! What should I do?

When it behaves antisocially exclude it from the room and refuse to let it back in again until it promises to behave. If it spits at you again disconnect its mouse for a week as punishment.
I wish to complain about the Winter Olympics on the TV which I find very boring.
He plays it because:
a) He enjoys his music loud or
b) He uses it to mark his territory and affirm his ego or
c) He is a complete tosser.
Depending on the relevant reason either:
a) Politely ask him to turn it down a little as it is disturbing you.
b) Shoot him in the head with a revolver at closer range.
c) Break into his home and steal his stereo unit.
I want to complain about all the incompetent bureaucrats here in France.
I love staying up late playing on WP but I have to get up at 6am and go to work,
which I almost never do because I sleep in til 8am,
and then I get in trouble with the boss (mum).

I feel like flushing my laptop n th etoilet - for some reason some keys won't work. Namely, the fourth letter in the alphabet, the one after 'c'. I have gotten Ubuntu though I haven't installe it yet, that's the only thing changin' - perhaps it's overstressing the machine's meagre memory (of only 768MB )
