Not whining, but being a short guy presents some obstacles. Unfortunately, that one can't be improved at the gym (I've tried).

Sorry, but the Garda are one of the most systematically and individually corrupt police forces of any nation, place or time.
1) All of ROYGBIV does. On a daily basis. Look at what I just reported about Florida. And I said the same thing on twitter just last night when someone tried to be like, "ooh, Ireland, ugh" and I said, "Woah, this happens worldwide, stop." I acknowledge these statistics and reports every single day. I'm trans, I…
Now you know what it's like to live in the US:).
The other murders you speak of sound misogyny based. I would consider those also to be hate crimes. Maybe that's not the legal definition, I don't know, I am not from Florida, but it sure as hell seems like it to me. So I would totally believe this to be standard behavior for hate crimes, where hate was a motivating…
As a parent of a 3yo we only go to places with him that he can handle at times he can handle. And if he freaks out we leave. That's only happened once, total meltdown. I really do get pissed at servers that tip toe around though.
In horrific news out of Fort Myers, Florida, a trans woman of color has been murdered, and her body set on fire,…
Stop giving them ideas! That's my listicle and you know it!
Yah, the Irish police are so great that Irish trans people say they're afraid to call them for help... Did you read this piece?
Well they don't shoot unarmed people or people with mental issues holding knifes. Irish police is definitely not perfect, but the US has one of the worst police forces to be found in the developed world, so almost any western nation can claim that they have a better police force, which has everything to do with how…
An Garda Síochána, which is pronounced On GAR-dah Shee-oh-CAHN-nah, is the Irish national police force, and is generally called the Gardaí. There are reports of calling the Gardaí but receiving no help once the Gardaí arrived. In some cases the victims report that they never showed up to help even after a call was…
On behalf of Australia, I sincerely apologise for our village idiots. I just.. I'm going to hide in a corner and pretend that her and I weren't raised in the same society.
An Australian newspaper columnist has written the most baffling editorial about children in restaurants I have ever…
Stop picking on stay at home mums (UK). We don't all have a crazy need to read badly written romance/porn. Many of us would prefer a nap, or adult conversation.
Crazy customer story, you sayyyyy?
There is a regional hamburger/ice cream place in my neck of the woods and it is staffed by teenagers and little old ladies. I swear that's all I see working there. I was in line to get some ice cream and the lady in front of me ordered a salad and the little teen girl said, "sorry we are out of that salad." And the…
I worked at a shoe store for years and when I would tell people we were sold out of their size in a shoe I would get the same reaction. I actually believe that customers think you're holding out on the good stuff and trying to screw them over. I've had someone call customer service because I was sold out of a shoe in…
In high school I worked at a popular mom-and-pop ice cream place. All of the ice cream was made on site, so if we ran out of a flavor, we wouldn't have more until the next time the owners made a batch. People would ask for a flavor, be told we were out, and then whine "but I drove [insert crazy number] miles to get…
I worked for a short while in customer service for an ISP and one day this guy calls (not a customer) and demands that we call his neighbour (a customer) and ask that they disable the password for their w-fi because he could no longer access the Internet since his neighbour enabled password protection. He even…
