Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Valid point. Still seems like a pretty cranky bunch of people. I try not to let the small stuff bother me. Not always successful but I try. But please go ahead-don't let me spoil your peevishness.
May I suggest a change in attitude/perspective?
Complaining isn't negative - if done properly it is a positive thing, inspirational in fact!
If no one complained, we would still be living in caves (trees? primordial soup? how far back do we want to go?). It is only the brave among us, dissatisfied with the status quo, who exhibit the courage to withstand the negative comments of others ( Debbie Downer, whiner, etc), and propose that there is a better life out there for all of us!
Without complaints, pet peeves, etc, there would be no progress. Change cannot happen until the problem is identified. Let us now sing the praises of all those who see deficiencies in our lives! Without their insight, how would we ever progress? Those who are 'perfectly happy' with everything, will never inspire us to advance!
It is the happy among us who are spoiling it for the rest of us grouches! Slackers!
