Here is a thread where you can let loose your rants about any possible subject (try not to be too offensive) whether it be hairdriers, mobile phones, anything that you have thoughts on that you want to "let loose".

Oh, by the way, if somebody makes a complaint that you disagree with, remember that it is only their opinion. No trolling/flaming here, please, but also don't complain about certain people/groups of people etc.

For any of you that haven't seen the TV programme Grumpy Old Men, it is basically just a bunch of famous British oldies ranting on about stuff. Here is an example:

Gift Vouchers
Gift Vouchers are a huge corporate scam to force people to buy products from certain shops. All that happens is that, instead of giving money/presents to people, you are going down to your local Virgin Megastores and turning your money into "special money" that can only be spent there. So why take money and actually make it so that it is only possible to spend that money at a particular store? Sure, book vouchers I can accept. If you have a young relative and you want to encourage them to read, give them book vouchers.

Gift vouchers make a problematic comprimise between actually bothering to go out and buy a present that you think your relative/friend/etc. will like and not being bothered, simply giving them money instead. Seriously, why get up and go to the shop to convert money into these things just so you can force the person you are giving them to to go to that shop and buy them, when you could either give them money (thus allowing them to get what they really want) or buy a present (surprise always makes gift-giving interesting)

P.S. If I have insulted anyone who works in the gift-voucher industry, or who personally believes in them, sorry.
