Complainers go to hell

blah blah blah

Why is it that no matter how awesome your job is and 99.9% of your co-workers are wonderful, there is always that one person who complains about everything? Nothing makes them happy. And when they complain about things that are not done, it’s always because they are the only ones who do it. Know anyone like that? Recognize any of these statements?

‘The last time this was cleaned was when I cleaned it? See? I signed it off.’
Well, gee, you signed it off so I guess you must have done it. . . . if your version of cleaning is picking up the candy wrapper off the floor. Okay, then.

 

‘How come no one ever checks this? That should be done every time. That’s the first thing I do when I get here.’
Really? So, drinking your two jugs of coffee, b*ing about the nurse you worked with last time, critiquing the offgoing shift, telling them what they have to do so you don’t have to do it – all those things, I guess do not count.

‘These people don’t know what the hell they’re doing.’
And thank goodness you do, because people like you make the world go ‘round. People, I’m sure, are ecstatic to work with you every time.

‘Some people just get on your nerves.’
True dat. Yup, second the motion.

I don’t understand why we have to do it this way. They [administration] never know what’s going on. I am going to write an email because we just have to change this process. They know how I get.
You go right on ahead. I’m sure they will be very happy to read another email from you and take all your other 150 suggestions and file it in the ‘Ignore’ box. And yes, they certainly know how you get. I heard someone gets a really bad migraine from rolling their eyes so much every time they see your name in their Inbox.

Oh, I’m sure I could go on, but why subject myself to that. Complainers really should go to hell because they make it hell on earth for the rest of us. I’m going to bed.

Hey, hope you had a good night sleep after you wrote this post :) I'd say complaining has been a part of my work life, lol. I just love "Some people just get on your nerves.’ - it's one of my complaint statements, hahaha.

I guess everyone has days when we complain about just anything.
