I am always thinking of new things to write and thought I would throw a page together on that illegal pastime called whinging, as we are all aware of there are the "optimists" the ones who usually get around without a voice and lack the intestinal fortitude to voice their opinion they usually end up suffering from chronic depression and are a real joy to be around, of course all optimists are not like that.
So ............. why is it some individuals complain all the time? I can answer that question as i am an expert on the subject, firstly i was brought up with it complainin is contagious, i really hate to be the bringer of bad news but EVERYONE complains it's just some more then others, studies show that the average person complains roughly anywhere between 15- 30 times a day don't agree on them figures? conduct your own get a friend or family member to do a count when ya least expect it, see if you can point your high power of perception at yourself in the mirror when you judge someone else next time and see if you can admit to your faults?
Whinging is part of everyday life i am a terrible whinger and i am the first to admit it and what usually sets me off is STUPIDITY and outright bureaucracy, greed, liars, thieves and the list goes on, to me complainin has a beneficial effect on my state of mental well being i don't bottle things up it is very unhealthy, to me the physiological effects of whinging are great, yes i am Mr. Negative!! I am well aware "negativity" breeds negativity that is who i am it is part of my persona, those who know me WELL wouldn't want to change it, those that don't know me well would love to, these are usually the ones that focus ONLY on my bad traits and completely ignore my good which i have far more of.
Whinging im afraid is something we all do no matter how perfect you think you are you do it also don't forget that, "constructive complainin" is somethin i do all the time instrumental whinging if i am not happy with a service I will complain about it but it will not be a petty little thing everyone benefits from it including myself there is nothing narcissistic or spiteful and venomous about it lets say for example the shop owner has heard my so called whinge and it may be about a product he is sellin or a service he has provided if he thinks it is a good suggestion i have just made then he benefits from it by changing the service thus improving its efficiency he/ she are happy i also are happy there are no losers.
Yes im the sort of bloke that takes the time to fill out the little bits of paper and put em in the suggestion box, how do ya think some companies are so successful? it's not just their doin it's feedback and ideas that usually come from us the consumer/customer that improves their services offered, that's the beauty of the internet see where as people like myself can actually get paid to complain and whinge by way of surveys, I have joined 6 different sites and spend a heap of time giving MY opinion and havin a whine.
Banks, shoppin centers, Government departments are where i do the bulk of my whinging and im sure you do too eh? probably under ya breath or in ya car whingin to yaself on the drive home bottlin it all up, Shaz is used to it when i start she just walks :-) others look on in horror as i vent my spleen where as others support me? why is that? is it because venting one's opinion is taboo? is it the majority of us are cloaked by the cone of silence, our upbringing was such that we were not allowed an opinion and that has flowed on to adulthood? is it now "politically incorrect" to speak up?
A recent incident at a bank just up the road from me a bloke drove his bobcat into the NAB (National Australia bank) and demanded his money this is because the banks made a massive error in their system inconveniencing millions of their customers i really know how that poor bloke feels as well as the millions of others it inconvenienced, any compensation for their customers? think of the problems and expense that would of caused.
"The bank" episode (1)
My last whinge concerning a bank (because that is why i wrote this page here is to whinge) was when the useless teller machines were out of order, i went into the bank to make a withdrawal over the counter with a live teller then they slugged me some enormous fee for withdrawing over the counter where it was fee free if ya used the teller machine at that bank!!
I immediately started to ................ whinge, why the hell should i be slugged a fee by these parasites because THEIR equipment was faulty? (and it wasn't even a Jewish owned bank) the teller insisted there was nothing she could do as it was bank policy i then asked to see the manager he told me the same thing at first but further whinging had the fee waived, after that i thanked him and informed him "it is my policy to stamp out parasitism" and closed my account :-) that episode has nothing to do with whinging like a kid to get ya own way it's the bloody principle of the thing.
"The bank" episode (2)
Banks as we all know run purely on greed (my pet hate) a few years back I went into the Bendigo bank in Southport on the Gold coast to open another account we had just been shoppin in Australia fair where i brought Shaz 400 odd dollars worth of clothes (back when i could afford to do it) i was carrying the bag with the items in it as we entered the bank.
I went up to the counter and started the long arduous task of proving who i am .. you know the "points system" thing anyway i placed the bag on the other counter behind me that wouldn't of been any more then 2m away from the main counter.
In the end i told the teller "forget it this is takin far to long" that's the reason why honest people have to go through this process is because of the dishonest people in this world the Rothschilds i call em, anyway i turned to pick up the bag and it was gone!!!
I remembered seeing a woman pushin a pram in the bank that had no baby in it and thought that seemed odd so i ran out the door and looked for her, i seen her miles up the road so chased after her and caught up i didn't jump to conclusions and call her a thief i asked her if she had just left the bank while i was checkin to see if she was carrying any bags with the store name on them it was easy to see she was not the culprit.
I went back to the bank and asked the teller to view the surveillance footage to see who this scumbag was that knocked off the bag this took some 40 minutes to do? and waitin is another of my pet hates, the teller finally come back to the counter and said there was no one on the tape? i said what are ya runnin back there? an old antiquated beta system or what? what ya mean there's no one on the tape?
The Bendigo bank kicked off in 1858 and lookin around that branch it looked like they were still in that era in the goldfields of Ballarat, up in the corners of the ceiling were little box brownie cameras :-) seriously though ... i said what ya mean there is nothin on the tape? the surveillance tape was not runnin? where she replied "no the cameras can't see that part of the bank" so there ya have it eh real high tech this mob here we have part of the bank JUST behind the counter and there is a blind spot this is perfect for any potential hold up how did Brendon Abbott miss that eh? perfect opportunity.
Bendigo bank's unisex staff toilets?
The only reason i wanted to open an
account with the Bendigo bank was there always seemed to be little
activity in them when i was walkin past thus no time waitin in line well
that was the theory anyway, i looked up at the cameras and fair dinkum
they would of had of been manufactured in around 1970- 75 bearin in mind
this event occurred in roughly 2002 the Bendigo bank would of really
lashed out on security payin in-excess of over $70 from Cash converters
and ya just can't help but say somethin like "Hmmmm the new Commodore 64
I see, they really spoil ya here eh?" any compensation for me? surely they are insured against theft? they are for their stinkin money.
Anyway as i was sayin, i walked out in utter disgust and went to the Southport police station to make a complaint and just my luck I get a bloke fresh from the academy behind the front counter that was about as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike so once again i just walked out it's like bashin ya head against the wall it's totally unproductive and tiring.
Enough of banks they make me sick, other things that are likely to induce a whinging fit for me include traffic lights, recorded messages, people that push in line, people who drive in the right hand lane, anti smokin nazis, cruelty to animals, greed, liars, hypocrisy, dictators, banks, crooked politicians, crooked cops, crooked crooks, microphone hero's, yuppies, insurance company's and more to come.
