[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know if it's "rude," except to the extent that [b]making a conversation about a topic that the other person can't contribute to is rude[/b], but it's clueless, tone-deaf, and makes you look like a jerk.  [/quote]

+1.  Agree with this.  I think if you had to do this the way to do it would be, for example with the upkeep, mention something like you hate doing yardwork because that's something most people can't relate to. Don't talk about how 20 acres is a lot of lawn to mow but just say that you dislike yardwork or you're not looking forward to blowing leaves in the fall.  On the restaurant, don't name drop some expensive place but you can generally say that you went out to eat and it was disappointing that they didn't refill your drink the entire meal.  Do not talk about how difficult it is to manage your $20 million investment portfolio.

Agree with some of the other responses that you should minimize the amount you complain, people generally don't want to hear it.  [/quote]
