I just got a sandwich from subway. the guy had cut the bread wrong, so when i picked it up to eat it, the contents dropped out. urgh

i'll complain at anything, whereas becky wont complain however bad something is. how bad does something have to be before you'll complain?

i'll complain if it doesnt involve too much effort or if its caused me great financial loss... or i might just complain if i'm in a bad mood and want someone to take it out on :)

Tricky. I always struggle to complain when it's not the direct fault of the person that I am complaining to (ie poor service from large corporations). I'd rather vent my spleen at the person at fault than some poor sap with the right uniform on.

Too soft by half, me.

If I remember, our Grandmother used to complain about things a lot.
Perhaps it's genetic?

I think I may have it down to a mathematical formula.

Amount of complaints I give = (Amount of complaints I get) * (grams of caffiene taken that day.)

Complaining rules. My favourite are those bastards at TV Licencing.
