> Good call, I hate that. I order fries at Becker's and ask for salt, and
> they look at me like I just asked for the pope's phone number.
I actually had to get a manager at Becker's to get ketchup. The poor girl at
the register had no clue what I was asking for. She called out a manager, and
I told him I wanted ketchup for my fries. He gave me a little paper cup with
ketchup and all was right in the world again. I blame the educational system
for not teaching creativity.
B: すみません、ケチャップもらえますか？
G: は？
B: ケチャップ。あ、このポテトのためのケチャップ
G: あ。あ。あ〜？
B: 。。。
B: You! Braindead! Give me ketchup, OK?! ketchup. here. OK?

I don't think British/American English comparisons are related to this.
Tomato sauce is not the word for ketchup in Japanese...
I was kinda down for a while because I thought my pronunciation was
bad, but I asked a bunch of people later if they could guess what I
was talking about when I said ケチャップ and not one of them failed
to understand me. I guess the cashier was just flustered to have
this dashing gaijin in front of her... HAR, HAR!

Apparently you can still buy mushroom ketchup in the UK, which is how it was made a few hundred years ago. It seems to be a word that has been used to apply a pretty wide variety of sauces over the years, containing everything from blueberries to oysters. 
Incidentally, I'd like to take issue with the title of this thread. I don't hate to complain at all. I find it soothing!

I can`t believe that anyone would ever consider doing anything like the
" upper Deck". That is not even funny. Not to mention how difficult it would be to clean up that shit! What kind of person would think of such a thing?
My main complaint about Japan now is the parking situation, and the meter maids/cops unfair practice of sticking parking tickets on your car regardless of how long you have been parked. They don`t even give you time to off load your car in front of your own house before slapping you with a ticket. Ridiculous!

I have somewhat big feet. I need size 31 or 32.
The size really isn't that rare, I think.
Yet I can't find any shoes in Japan that fit me
properly.
I went to a Big and Tall store today, and most of
the shoes were 27 or 28! What the hell?
Then when I asked the staff if they could recommend
a place that sells big shoes, they just named the most
popular shoes stores, which I know do not have my
size.
You'd think they'd put in a little effort to at least
know WHERE I could find some big shoes.
Instead they just stroked their chins, sucked their
teeth and said "wakaranai".
It is a fucking large size shop, somebody else had to
have asked about +30 sizes at one time or another!
Couldn't someone have scanned the phone book at least?
