In Grey's Anatomy I'm Sick of Your Shit
Dear Meredith,Â
When I was a child, growing up amidst poverty in nineteenth-century England, life was barely worth living. My neighborhood was full of thieves and prostitutes. We had no bread and there was very little coal to keep us warm. I was raised by my dear grandmama (pronounced grand-muh-MA), until she was hanged for stealing a bobbin of thread to mend my winter coat.
That said, quit your bitching, Meredith Grey, things could be a lot worse. I’m sick of your shit.

I get it. You fell hard for McDreamy and then drew the short straw when it came time for him to choose between you and his wife (who is, let’s face it, hotter than you). Still, it’s been like twenty years in medical drama time and you’re still complaining. In the time it has taken you to get over McDreamy, Luca Kovach on ER has banged at least eight to ten nurses.
You may have had your heart broken, but at least you got to have a few good rolls in the hay with Patrick Dempsey. If I were afforded the same opportunity, I would have immortalized the moment in a diorama or a snowglobe and not gotten wrapped up in whether we were going to have itty-bitty babies with stubble and salt-and-pepper hair.
And another thing, re: the voiceovers. It’s just too much. You wrap up every episode with a series of haikus about love and life. But when you really give these morals any thought, they either A) make no sense, or B) are completely obvious. And you recite these lines with such a cool, collected tone it almost makes me forget that you learn nothing from week to week. Guess what, Meredith? I may not have smug ruminations on what it means to be a life-saving doctor, but at least I can get out of bed in the morning without Sandra Oh standing up and kicking the covers off.
That said, here’s my advice: Bang George, because he deserves it. Stop squinting so much. Most importantly, start whoring it up around the hospital to make McDreamy uncomfortable and help you get your confidence back.
Of course, if you get blown up next episode (as if), then I guess this advice is moot.
Love,
DAN
Dear Dan,
Please switch teams and marry me.
Love,
CRISTIN
In all fairness, McDreamy does not make it easy for Mere to forget him…with all the smelling her hair in the elevator and reminiscing about their last kiss. And she should not bang George, he deserves better. I love this show, and I love tiFaux, another way to waste time while in class.
GodDAMN do I hate Merideth! I had my fingers crossed that the “pink mist” conversation between the emaciated Christina Ricci character and the kooky anesthesiologist forshadowed Ms. Squinty’s demise, but alas…only the cute bomb-dismantler/asshole blew up.
Mr. McDreamy’s wife is definitely hotter.
Why do you people even watch the show if you hate her so much? It’s about her. I love her character, and I love the show. And she complains too much? What about you, making a huge complaint about a television show? Chill out, and don’t watch it if you don’t like it.
PS: Kate Walsh is beautiful and so is Ellen Pompeo. They’re both gorgeous, just in different ways.
This is the greatest shit ever. Thank you for finnally putting up what we all wanted to say.!!!!!!
I came upon this link by accident and, while I love Meredith Grey, I must say that I’m highly amused by the fact that the writers seemingly ended up following your advice–with (1) Meredith sleeping with George and (2) Meredith’s “whoring it up” making Derek uncomfortable (and eventually jealous). Bravo.
