I really find moaning one of the most irritating habits in the world, and I really don’t have time to be surrounded by too much negativity. A practical example, and I do a little bit of it myself, will be for a few months we complain about how long it has taken for the rain to come, and the second it rains, a robot stops working and we start moaning about the traffic.
It is probably what I would call a small little moan and as long as you are not taking it too seriously, it is fine, but there are those, and you come across them in the working environment especially, who never have a good word to say, who could always do things better if they were doing it themselves, but in reality have no experience of ever running a business, managing anything or getting on with people and invariably the people who have the most to say are in any event disliked by other staff.
I far prefer being surrounded by positive people who accept whatever that day’s problems are and try and work around them and get on with the job. Those people, who never seem to understand why they are so unlucky, because problems follow them from one place to another, just don’t get it - they, and their attitude, is the real problem.

The empty can rattles the most.
Feel real sorry for the partners that have to sit and listen, as if he/she has not had a long day enough.
One day the moaners will realise that it takes more energy and stress to moan and get angry over tasks than it is to actually do the task and get the great feeling afterwards of accomplising it.

I could'nt have said it better.... Weird how you learn to try to avoid people who moan the whole day - if possible that is! Having to sit in an office with people who constantly moan and experience the one problem upon the next must be one of the most tedious issues a person has to deal with...and YOU try stay positive!! It's exhausting!!
