What are the strangest reasons you have heard people complain about
No being able to watch baseball during work. This guy in the computer department watched baseball during work while doing his job, the manager didn't have a problem with it, but when too many mistakes started happening, the manger said no more baseball watching during work hours. This guy got pissed, like it was his god given right to watch baseball during work, he resigned over it and even gave them a letter stating why he was resigning. The company used the letter to deny him unemployment when he filed, stupid reason to quit and stupider to put in it writing.

At least he stayed 'in character ... being stupid (which, as we all know isn't illegal). BTW, I'm still chuckling about this one.

Some of my coworkers are a bit whiny! A recent complaint.

Can we rearrange the kitchen? The cereal, coffee, and toasters are positioned basically on top of each other, and it causes traffic jams in the morning.

Some people are not happy unless they're complaining about something.
This is so true! Negative complainers are not happy unless they are actively complaining about something.

Something I realized is that when someone is slightly inconvenienced they'll make a ghost complaint about something stupid because they don't want to get off their butts to do something.

Someone in my office just complained to me that another team member had to leave early to attend to a sick boyfriend. He is not the manager (nor am I), so why does he care so much? I didn't comment.
