Are you prone to complain about problems without offering solutions?

    Nah, I try to offer solutions the most of the time, or I make it an open question instead of complaining. Mmhmmm.

    I really try NOT to.  If anything, I probably offer too much which probably doesn't help.  LOL

    No, I try to solve my own problems, but will ask for help if I need it.

  • Not generally; no.

     

    I usually try to provide suggestions for resolution along with my complaints if possible.

    People who complain about problems complain because they have no solutions, otherwise, why would they complain? I'm not one prone to complain, mainly because I have no one to complain to. Even God tells me to figure it out.

    When I see a problem, my immediate response is to figure out a solution, even if only one that works for me personally. If throughout that process I arrive at something simple, yet effective, I'll pass it on. I usually complain when I've gone through this process and either arrived at a feasible solution that was dismissed outright or when I realize it's an exercise in futility as there's no solution. Most of the time anyway, I try my best not to be a complainer or impossible to please.

    That really depends upon the type of problem and who has the ability to fix it.

    • If I can fix it, I do.
    • If I cannot, I try to find someone who can, or someone I can kick ideas around with on how to fix it.
    • If it is not in my purview to fix it, but I believe I have a solution or ideas to correct the problem, I seek out those who have the power to effect solutions and offer my suggestions.
    • If all of the above fail...I #!&!*¿#!

    No. I'm a problem solver by trade, nature and obsession. If I point out a problem I will have a solution. It may not be the right or the best one, but I will have a solution.

    Of course I am. If I knew what to do about a problem, I would do it myself.

  • That's just being a PITA then.

    Sure.  I don't have to have a solution to a problem to complain about the problem.  To say otherwise would be ridiculous.
