[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the OP of one of the posts you mention. I totally get it. But I also know it’s irrational. You should, too.

When my dad was diagnosed with aggressive cancer, my axis shifted. I was so pissed off at the world. How dare people complain about small stuff when MY DAD IS DYING FROM PAINFUL CANCER AND I AM GOING TO MISS HIM! But then I thought, he isn’t dead; someone has it worse than me. I just found out my dad has cancer? Someone just found out their dad is DEAD, so who am I here with my small problems.

And you know what? Yes, small petty things still annoy me, you, and everyone. And that’s ok! I can, AND WILL, grieve my father and also that small annoyance at the same time. And so does everyone else. The world does not stop because you are in pain. Life’s little annoyances don’t stop, nor do they become less annoying, because you are in pain. Your HUGE issue doesn’t make anyone else’s small issue any less significant. Nobody is that special. [/quote]

it isn't that you can't have annoyances - it is when you are so out of touch with the real world that your annoyances are other peoples luxuries. it is like venting that you can't believe you had to slum it last night and sleep at a $1000/night hotel that only had 700 thread count sheets. And you moan on and on about this issue / annoyance in your life thinking it is an actual problem because you are so privileged that your perspective about what is a problem to be annoyed about is so skewed.  [/quote]
Give me a break. We are all privileged around here. And we all have issues, big and small. And we are all complaining anonymously. Stop pretending you’ve never petty complained here (you are right now, by the way). I’m not complaining to anyone I know, out loud, in real time. Why does it bother some of you so much that people bring their petty complaints to DCUM? Are you mad people are thinking them, too? You never ever ever think a thought someone might find petty? Never? Or are you just mad people complain about petty things here? What exactly do you think this place is for, exactly? Strangers should be helping solve HUGE life issues here? You’re thought process is bizarre![/quote]

+1  I'll add that I always get a laugh out of the posters who belittle others with "Wow.  What a first world problem."  What other kind of problems do DCUM posters have?[/quote]
