The “Idiots” Corner by “Billy Bob Smith” We are past the holiday season and the close of another year, so I thought I would share some of my biggest pet peeves. Whiners, complainers, and finger pointers - I have had enough of you people to last several lifetimes. Get over it! I heard a couple last week complaining about waiting on hold for several minutes to solve a simple problemwith their Internet connection. Did you know that every day 1500 children in the world die of starvation? Aman at the bookstore last night gave the person behind the counter heck because his coffee was too hot. Did you know every year millions of people lose something of sig- nificant value to them due to natural disasters? A few weeks ago, a lady was arguing with her husband about where he put her keys. Did you know 48,000 people die every night while they are sleeping? Over dinner last week, one of my friends was complaining about how his business was struggling; and I overheard a neighbor whining about the weather. Did you know there is only one group of people worldwide who don’t have weather? They are all dead. Folks, I could go on for pages with this stuff, but I don’t want to sound like I am whining about whiners, so I’ll just close and wish you a happy and successful year. Oh, do me a favor and deal with it, get over it, handle it. But before I go - got a whiner in your life? Got a whining customer or employee? Got a whining spouse? Well, I won’t tell you what to do, but I will say these people will always find something to complain about.
