The Weekly Whine Volume 1

Everyone likes a good whinge now and then right? I don’t whinge that much but there are things in life that annoy the bejesus out of me. Normally these things are other people. Whilst I try not to let other people affect me, I am a firm believer that my responses are my responsibility, sometimes people do get under my skin.

So since I can think of no better day to whinge other than a Monday I present the first edition of the weekly whine. Today I am going to whinge about whingers.
I am sure you know the type. These people will moan and complain about anything or worse they will complain about the same thing over and over again. My challenge to these people who complain about the same thing all the time is to be pro-active and change your life to remove the thing that annoys you so.

For example: "I hate my job and my boss is such an arsehole." Everyone whines about work, it is part of the fun of having a job but if you are seriously unhappy then instead of whingeing to the world,(because seriously we don’t care) then get a new job. A Simple solution wouldn’t you agree?

Example two is the person who complains about their partner all the time. I ask you this, are you so co-dependant and afraid of being alone that you would rather be miserable in a relationship rather than leave? Either stop complaining or grow a set of nads and leave the bitch or bastard!

Then there is the drama queen whinger type person. You know the ones that for them everything is a big drama and they aren’t shy about telling us how dramatic that their life is.
For example a normal person would say. "Cityrail trains suck, now I am late for work."

The drama queen whinger will say. "Oh these trains are so terrible, I am late now. I can’t be late or I will get docked half an hour and I can’t afford to get docked because my daughter isn’t working and she just had a baby and her nipples hurt so she can’t breast feed. So now I won’t be able to afford S26 formula and I will have to get that cheap stuff and it gives the baby colic so I will get kept awake at night. Life is so hard and unfair to me all the time."

This type of person isn’t happy telling this to just one person, they will tell everyone in your office the story and then ring other offices to tell them as well. Everyday there is something new for these people to whinge about or make a drama of. I don’t know why these people do this. Are they comfortable being unhappy? If that’s the case then fine - be miserable but don’t share it with me okay. I have no need for your misery and if you are looking for sympathy then you have come to the wrong place. Is it attention you want? Well there are better and less miserable ways to get it.

I have learnt that being happy is actually easier than being miserable or angry. It takes up far less energy perhaps you miserable whelps should give it a try!
