Speaking of complaining, a couple I knew lived in TV and all they did was complain about this and that and missing the ocean where they lived before. They finally moved back to the ocean in a high rise condo. Two years later I saw them down the square. What are you doing here? They moved back to TV, because they couldn't stand the condo. Every day was the same. Get up, walk on the beach, sit on the terrace, look a each other in the small condo, and listen to the party noise from kids who were using their parents condo. He said 3 weeks walking on the beach, and I was bored stiff. He said he will never complain about TV again.

I can understand people who don't feel well to be more cranky than usual but I don't believe they have a right to inflict pain onto others. IMHO

I would add this phrase to that list of blocked words


"Back home we did it this way"


That would cut down a great may complaints because you no longer live there.

I would add this to the blocked words if I could: "You can't fix stupid." It has to be the most overused cliche' on forums. It's become the Freebird of forums. You'll recall in the '80s and '90s (and still sometimes now), you couldn't go to a concert without someone trying to be funny by yelling out that title. It got old real quick.

And besides, I believe you *can* fix stupid.

Venting about small irritations can be cathartic, and the majority of people are kind and considerate in person.

(But let's not even get started on Reddit, 4chan, etc.)
