We've all heard the comment, "s/he is only happy when s/he has something to complain about."

Do you know somebody like that? Is the comment literally true? How do you respond to them?

  • Boy....do I ever know someone like that! Always complaining about something! Usually about her work and the people she works with....every conversation always ends up with her complaining!

  • Hey Didge, good to see you here. Just wanted to bid you and some of the other old partners a fond adieu. After some time here bouncing about this site, my patience for it and intent toward continuing on it are now nonexistent. Just a lousy site. 
    Hope to see you "elsewhere". -Z This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at February 9, 2017 10:29 PM MST

  • Then, I imagine, we would be the complainers and we would become the problem. :)

  • A friend of mine gave me the perfect answer to this situation ... And it works ... I just say, with a slight menacing tone, either shut up or do something about it!

    Literally true is a positive.

  • Is it? When that sort of behaviour is literally true it's anything but positive.

    I guess you heard the story about the teacher who told his class, "Two negatives can make a positive but two positives can never make a negative." And one of the kids said, "Yeah, right."

  • My mother is that person who isn't happy unless she's complaining. I could be a doctor and she would complain I wasn't a surgeon.

  • I knew we had something in common, Jeremy. I grew up with a mother like that, too.

  • I couldn't possibly imagine who you mean. I did hear a rumour that she was already here. Will probably mind her manners till she finds a few allies.

  • I did see one former Blurter (at least, I expect it was considering the people she has friended) who has marked her profile "Private". I guess that's her. Sorry, I forget the name. I don't even want to know her.

  • I'm good at figuring out former blurters .... I'm not on every day though .... I'll keep an eye out while I'm here? Will Virginia join us? I'd love see her here :)

  • It's on Virginia's horizon but she has other things on her mind just now. Maybe in a couple of months. Maybe not.
