>Grinshy, listening to you complain is decidedly a pleasure. I sit between two world-class complainers at work, and believe me, you're not even in the ballpark of too much whining. These folks are basically nice people, but *everything* seems to be fodder for complaint.
The phone rings--they complain the dang customers keep calling! The phone doesn't ring--complain why don't dang customers call us?! They complain that managment isn't doing anything to solve problems--and then when management *does* try to do something, they complain about that. Their pencil lead breaks--complain about the cheap pencils the company buys! They have it down to an art form.
>After a few hours of trying to ignore it, my contrary nature begins to surface, and even their legitimate complaints receive a Pollyanna-ish rebuke:("there are too good things about nuclear war!")
>The one thing they can't complain about, though, is internet access. :-)

Well, if listening to me complain is a pleasure...

I hate it when I have to eat Chee-tos without a fork and my fingertips get all cheesy orange! What's up with people who don't use their traffic signals? It really annoys me when someone drinks all but the last milliliter of water in the pitcher and then doesn't refill it! I despise people who park their car so that it takes up two parking spaces! Tartar sauce is disgusting! Why do there have to be so many orange barrels on the highways these days? I hate junk emails that have an address that you can supposedly use to unsubscribe yourself from their list-those messages bounce every time! I'm really sick of having to take the garbage out every three days or so! The price of gasoline is too high! Why does everything that tastes good have to be bad for you? Whose stupid idea was it to dredge up a report about Bush's DUI arrest from 24 years ago 5 days before the election? $2.19 a pound for hamburger!!! I'm not paying that! Poopy diapers stink! I had to stay late at work last night; I HATE that! Double posting in RinkChat really BUGS me! I have too many bills to pay. And I can't find my toenail clippers.
