Usually, we plead on Mondays. Give us your complaints, your stories, your tips! Save us the drudgery of working for our measly Gawker allowance.

Usually, we plead on Mondays. Give us your complaints, your stories, your tips! Save us the drudgery of working for our measly Gawker allowance.

But this Monday, it was Labor Day, which we were ironically spending in sloth. Begging can wait while drinking commences.

But, even though it’s a day later, we still need your tips. In the last week, over 20 posts came directly from our readers. And that’s just the ones we remembered to tag. Ultimately, if it’s juicy, if it’s not petty, if it’s American… we want to hear about it. We can’t have all the misery heaped upon our own shoulders; The Consumerist is our way of casting our nets.

Last week’s readers-inspired stories, after the jump.
