I have a niece that has it made. She has a beautiful house, a great job, two beautiful daughters, just got back from a week in Florida...and is whining because she has to go to the doctor! I was blunt in my response...told her to buck up and stop crying...she has a great life and needs to realize that so many are struggling right now...some of us don't know where our next meal will come from, when the lights will get shut off, if we will have a place to live tomorrow...and a lot of us would give anything to be able to go to a doctor!!!!
I guess I am just in a brutally honest mood today....but have trouble with those that have everything and whine constantly about what they have to do, or what they don't have.

Couldn't agree more. Why would you think that anybody would enjoy hearing that?

Complaining is what politics are for.

Sounds like she has never had it hard in life to know what real troubles actually are...Either that or she feels ignored so she is using complaining as a way to get attention...

Agreed. Like a woman I know who whines about how she doesn't feel pretty, just so her friends will tell her otherwise. I wish someone would have the guts to agree with her, just to shut her up.

I have a skinny coworker who is always talking about how she needs to lose weight. One day, instead of arguing with her about how thin she was, I agreed and said her arms were especially flabby.

Just bugs me for some reason...might be because I am on the other end of the stick....but I think when you've had your lights shut off, car repossessed, lose your job...those matter...a simple drive to the doc is really nothing to complain about...

So, you're complaining about complaining? Did that make you feel better?

Translation: To grow in life takes work. Your labors provide the soil. Your sweat provides the water. If you do not try to improve your life, it will become barren and empty like a desert.

So, if you are always complaining, then you aren't working hard enough at improving your own life. You are simply taking it for granted.
