For some people, complaining is their only joy in life. My wife's family used to run restaurants. The last one was known for large and delicious steaks.

One evening, customer called the waitress over to his table and complained to her about his steak, not that it was improperly cooked or was not tasty, but that it was too large.

The flustered waitress took his plate back to the kitchen. The chief, cooked a smaller steak, and the waitress returned it to the customer, which apparently satisfied him.

The customer had enjoyed the pleasure of complaining (which some believe is included in the price of the meal or shows their sophistication) and there had been, in the customer's mind, a satisfactory response,

The restaurant staff had acted as if the complaint was entirely reasonable. "The customer is always right."

It this had been on Seinfeld, and Elaine was the waitress, she would have grabbed the customer's knife and fork, cut a piece off his steak, and eaten it in front of him.

Isn't it amazing how a post topic can run amock really quickly.

I had a co worker that repeatedly said of another co worker: If you gave ....... a million dollars in cash, he would complain about the denominations of the bills. Always liked that one!
You are right. Our nattering nabobs of negativity were silenced for once.
Spiro T Rocky rides again! :D
