when was the last time you complained that is not related to the harsh weather, the barking dog or the mosquitoes? it could be anything from so little money to a computer not turning on. anything else? i hope to derive as to what contribute to an individual's misery so if anyone can share it will be highly appreciated so that if anything like such happen in the future it's not going to be new at all.

I think it's in "Gulliver's Travels" about being tied down by strings. It isn't the big things that happen from time to time, but all the little things that seem to happen all at once that causes us to complain.

I think we often complain wehen we are unhappy or unsatisfied with something or someone in our lives. it is these little things that cause us enough distress to bring on complaining.

hi cowboyofhell there are so many things that we complain about but for me its this lousy economy that has wonderful undeserving people out of work and few jobs compared to how many are out for the same job. 'I complain for all the good it does. Also the lousy food we are often served here at Gold Crest. we have peppronoi pizz slated for dinner okay sounds good but its really awful. they have used rancid cooking oil in preparing it and no amount of tomato sauce is going to cover up that taste so I opted for a cold cut sandwich .theres no way they can louse that up amd with a bowlful of tomato soup I will enjoy my dinner. they make very good soup here shame they cannot use the same cook for the rest of the dinner.His soup is better than some in fancy restaurants in fact but he does not make the blasted pizza. its a shame they waste good ingredients with a bad cook like that.So I am opting out of eating the lousy pizza for sure. I know better how so heres to good cold cuts and whole wheat bread. lol

Agreed. Sometimes it is the little things that make up life and they are the ones we end up complaining about the most

According to me, inability, low self-confidence, low self-esteem, struggle in life, bad luck, disapproval of his mistakes, all these things cause a person to complain. We complain just because we hate the way others do things. If we mind our own business with confidence converting our weaknesses into strengths, accepting our mistakes, learning the things properly, we can overcome this problem. This is just my view & I may be wrong sometimes in judging something but we do not realize ourselves what mistake we are doing.

There are so many factors that causes a person to complain. It could be practically anything under the sun. As long as it's bothering them in some type of way they're gonna say something about it. You can also weigh in the factors in their life that may cause them to complain a lot like a low-wage job or a nasty boss. There are so many factors.

I don't tend to complain to my family, because they have enough troubles of their own. As you say...I do whine at my computer when it doesn't do what I want to do when I want! If things are not going well for me, I can complain, but so often it's to myself, not others. I tend to guard my words and actions carefully, especially with people I don't know well. There are times I can complain if I feel under pressure. Also, if I'm in a very bad place spiritually, psychologically, emotionally, I can complain. But I try hard to avoid these circumstances.

When one is dissatisfied with a service, he/she will surely complain. Like what i experienced, the fried chicken i ordered in a restaurant was still with some blood. I had to complain and had it exchanged.

i always complain about my brother. his worthlessness, how he is such a waste of time and effort and money... i always complain why my mom dont care about him and his trash attitude, why it's ok to my mom even if my brother punches and kicks me a couple of times, (real punches and kicks). well i dont know if im over reacting or what, but i just dont want my son to see him cause i know how bad influence he is. but i can do nothing but complain, im not in the right standing and situation to do anything.

boys do that but not all. even those who do such despicable acts can change: Hi all, new to this. My fiance who ive known for 3yrs attacked me last week. It was totally unexpected as had never shown signs before and had always maintained he would never lay a finger on me or any woman! Cross words were said between us and i asked him to leave, he got up to go but then verbally abused me so i said dont talk to me like that upon which he turned around and punched me straight to the floor, i was bleeding and he carried on hitting me. Another family member diverted his blows to her and police were called. He was arrested. Now i know this sounds really pathetic but i still love him and he sent me flowers to say sorry and is also begging me to go back. I also have a 7yr old son who witnessed the incident which has upset me more than anything. Do these sort of men ever change, could it have been a one off? What do i do? We were about to start a new life together in another country so im gutted. Help plse? charlotte. x

my brother has been like this to me ever since his elementary years. and this is not only his negative attitude. he stops going to school, he keeps on bugging my little sister, and he talks back to my mom, TRASH AND CURSE WORDS! but my mom remains to be blind, or martyr...

I think some complaints are hiding what is really bothering someone. If they have a nagging problem they have not settled, often times they will release some frustration by complaining over things that normally do not bother them.

Well for me,I just complain when things don't work as they are supposed to do. When I bought a new phone that supposedly was equipped with bluetooth. Guess why blutooth doesn't work!!! Disconnects after it looses line of sight. Had been repaired three times over the span of 1 year until the warranty expired. Another instance was when I bought 10 plastic attachable containers. They were perfect! Until my wife decided that they were better as drawers for an existing cabinet. That was not what it was meant to be used! I love the traffic here in Manila! 60 km travel meant 2 hours drive! That is why I commute using the public transport, Its because you don't get to enjoy your car. If things were better, I wont be complaining.

Sometimes a person complains about anything and everything annoys him. And then there are those things that have irritated him yesterday the other day that it will cause irritation. Maybe we should be somewhat tolerant of everyone and everything. Me much annoys me when I go to sleep and the dog starts to bark but it stopped paying attention. Sometimes we complain to our address or simply by whim. Every time is different. Have a nice day!

a person complain when they are not satisfied. when they are not fulfilled. a person complains everytime they feel the lack of something.. they complain for they hate what they are doing.
