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.


So, you're complaining about complaining? Did that make you feel better?
I do believe I asked a question and then explained why I was asking
Did it make you feel better to try to make me look bad?....no wonder everyone has left this place.

Relax. It was an observation. No need to get upset. If you say you weren't complaining, then I guess you weren't complaining. If other people left because they got upset over a comment, then I hope they're happier somewhere else! :smile:

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.
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.


Sadly often peole cannot see what others do, just because someone thinks that she is thin, does not mean she sees it herself.
At one time, if I ate I would make myself sick and would run miles, as I was sure that I was fat, that was after, my first hausband left and I had 2 small children, No matter what anyone said all I could see where faults.

Sometimes no matter how thin a person gets they just cannot see what they really look like.
I still cannot stand to look at myself. But I am not silly anymore.


As for whinging, I just switch off and smile if someone start. I think that being grateful for whatever we have is really important, When my children where little, if they whinged they had to tell me 10 things they where grateful for.
The same if they said they where bored, They where then allowed to go and scrub out toilet. They soon found something they wanted to do.

LMAO...Yeah but a girl has to do it, if a guy agrees with her then he is just an "insensitive ***"...lol


True. However, if a girl did it, she'd just accuse her of being "jealous."

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.



I'd love to have seen her reaction to that. rofl I wish I could tell this woman that, she's sooo freaking annoying. But she's my co-worker's wife so he'd get pissy.

Well, this woman isn't pretty, but she could do something to fix herself up if it bothered her that much. And she complains about being fat, but she does nothing to try to lose weight. And I really think she only complains so people will tell her she's wrong.

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.

She got so upset, she never came in to work any more.

Ten years later we found out she was getting her regular paycheques all along, never mind her absence.

Then an external investagition by the inspection department found out her work was being performed all along. Our boss says, yeah, it's been funny like that. I never thought how that was possible, she said, her work done, but I wasn't going to complain, I mean, why? The boss said.

So at the end it turns out she did keep on coming to work, but my comment ten years ago made her lose the remaining 32 lbs that was between her and her target weight. At the time of my remark, she weighed 32 lbs.

There is always a rational explanation.

When people complain to me, I just spin it around in a positive way for them. Most of the time, it works, but then you get those that just love to complain and be negative, I just have fun with those people.

I told her that there were so many out there that need a doctor and can't go....it didn't matter, and as a previous poster stated, it's probably a "pay attention to me thing"...and yes...she has always had a pretty good life. Guess you have to do the suffering before you can appreciate.
