Dear Friends,
On the weekend, while I was "downtowning" in my new cool look, I realised there is another genre of complaining that experts have forgotten to discuss– petty complaining!
Petty complaining involves seeking relief from an "unfair" or uncomfortable everyday situation like asking for a better table at a restaurant, sending back the cold food, returning a damaged item to the store, etc.
Verbalising our “suffering,” is to stand up for ourselves. Being accepting of every situation and everyone’s behaviour has a synonym – doormat!
The success of petty complaining does not solely depend on the situation or the people involved. It also depends on our choice of words, tone of voice and degree of personal charm! The more charismatic the complainer, the more effective the complaint!
I’m very grateful that no "discontent" crossed my path on the weekend. I don’t know what would have been more shameful; switching the purple bracelet back and forth or becoming a doormat!
Have an honourable day everyone!
