Finding Things To Complain About
Easy to do with some practice
Easy to do with some practice
My next-door neighbor was complaining this weekend, and I just happened to be close enough to him to become a part of that conversation.
He had just purchased a new car a week earlier, and he was furious at it already.
“This stupid thing has a SERIOUS design flaw,” he told me.
“I didn't realize how serious the problem was until I started driving it. It's ridiculous. It's so inconvenient, I can't stand it!”
I did not know him well enough to know “what is wrong?” was the exact worst thing to say to him. So he stopped to explain it to me in detail.
“When I drive home after work, I have to stop and back into my driveway!”
I expected him to elaborate about his transmission, how it parks or doesn't park, or how it's hard to see out the next morning when he backs out of his driveway, but must admit, I was not expecting how serious it actually was.
“The Mercedes emblem on the back is nowhere near as visible as it is on the front grill, so I will always have to stop and back in, if I expect the neighbors to be able to see it!”
Thank you.
