Save Your Sob Stories: 18 Things People Complain About that We Have Zero Sympathy For

It’s filled with trials, tribulations, and moments of joy and beauty. It’s a rich tapestry that we all add our unique thread to. Some people like to pull up those threads, finding complaints about situations they’ve largely created. Today, we’re going to explore 18 types of complaints that many people have little sympathy for because the complainers have mostly created the situations.

The Constant Moan-and-Groaners

Let’s start with the people who persistently grumble about their lives. They say they’re stuck in a rut but do nothing to escape it. It’s as if they’ve decided to dance in the rain but are now complaining about getting drenched. You could sympathize if they were trying to improve their situation, but staying stationary and complaining? It’s like expecting a plant to grow without watering it! 

The Sleepy Head Parents

Next, we have parents who are constantly tired because they have a lot of kids to manage. Sure, they love their little tykes but can’t help but whine about how exhausting parenthood is. But here’s the thing, dear parents, having children was a conscious choice, and nobody ever said it was a walk in the park. It’s like signing up for a marathon and then grumbling about how long it runs! 

The Drive-and-Dive Offenders

Who’s next on the list? Drunk drivers. Now, this is an interesting group. After a round of drinks, they knowingly put their keys in the ignition and then complain about the consequences. It’s the same as playing with fire and complaining about getting burnt! It’s not just their lives they’re risking, but others too. 

The Criticizing Snipers

Some folks ridicule others for their appearance, hobbies, or lifestyle choices. These folks pick on others for appearance, hobbies, or lifestyle choices. It’s like mocking a bird for singing its tune. Everyone has the right to be themselves, and if these critics spent more time focusing on their own lives than others, they might find themselves sympathetic.

The Fatigued Multi-Tasking Parents

Another group of parents makes our list: those who sign their kids up for every possible sport, club, and activity and then lament how busy and costly their lives have become. It’s like filling your plate at a buffet and complaining about eating too much. Sure, they’re only trying to give their kids the best, but moderation is key, and one can’t expect sympathy when they’ve bitten off more than they can chew.

The Gas-Price Grouches

A person buys an expensive, gas-guzzling truck and moans about the high fuel cost. It’s like buying an elephant and complaining about how much it eats! When buying a pricey vehicle, one should know the associated costs. Moaning about a known factor doesn’t fuel sympathy.

The Woeful Wealthy

Here are the high earners, living paycheck to paycheck, despite making a good income. Their budgeting skills are comparable to trying to keep a boat afloat with a sieve. Financial responsibility is a must, especially when blessed with a good income. Constantly crying broke when you’re not controlling your spending? A little financial planning could go a long way and garner more sympathy.

The Lamenting Love Seekers

We’ve all met those who always have a disastrous love life. Each person they date is “no good.” But at some point, they must ask themselves: what’s the common factor in all these relationships? If they took a step back and did a bit of soul-searching, they might find the love they’re looking for and perhaps even some sympathy from their peers.

The Parental Payment Protesters

Men who complain about paying child support are next on our list. It’s baffling how they fail to see that supporting their children isn’t a punishment but a responsibility. It’s like planting a seed, then being annoyed when it needs sunlight. Having a child is a lifelong commitment; forgetting that duty won’t draw much sympathy.

The Public Assistance Grumblers

Some always have something negative to say about public assistance programs. These programs aren’t perfect, but they’re a lifeline for many people. It’s as if these folks are looking at a half-filled glass and only seeing it as half-empty. Suppose they put their energy into suggesting improvements rather than just complaining. In that case, they might find the glass half-full and gain sympathy.

The Illness Impersonators

Then, some fake illnesses. They pretend to be sick for attention or to gain an advantage. It’s like someone crying wolf – eventually, people stop believing you. And with many genuine illnesses, this deception is like a slap in the face to those suffering. No sympathy is to be found here.

The Cheaters

Cheaters make our list, too, whether it’s in games, tests, or relationships. It’s as if they believe they can cut corners without anyone noticing. But when they’re caught, it’s like they’ve stepped in a puddle and are surprised to find their feet wet. Honesty is always the best policy, and no one has much sympathy for those who don’t play by the rules.

The Affluent Accusers

Next are the wealthy residents of affluent neighborhoods who complain about homeless people. Instead of addressing the issue or helping, they would rather grumble. It’s like seeing someone fall and choosing to laugh instead of lending a hand. Empathy could go a long way; complaining without acting doesn’t attract much sympathy.

The Accountable Absentees

Some people seem allergic to taking responsibility for their actions. They screw up and then act like it’s everyone else’s fault. It’s like they’re in a boat that they’ve punched a hole in and are now wondering why it’s sinking. Taking responsibility is a part of life, and the sympathy boat tends to sail away from those who won’t.

The Frequent Child-Makers

Some decide to have many children and then complain about the rising grocery bills. It’s like filling a swimming pool and then being surprised when the water bill comes. Sure, kids are a blessing, but they also come with a cost. A little family planning could save a lot of moaning and perhaps spare some sympathy.

The Retail Rowdies

We also have those who show aggression toward retail workers and then expect empathy for their ‘bad day.’ They don’t realize that the people serving them are humans, too, with their challenges. It’s like throwing a rock at a window and then being surprised when it breaks. A little kindness goes a long way, and those who choose aggression will find the sympathy store is closed.

The Feigned Fatigue Advocates

Next on our list are people who constantly proclaim how busy they are, seemingly seeking validation or sympathy. It’s as though they’ve taken on a hefty load and then are surprised at the weight. Balance is the key to a satisfying life. While everyone has busy spells, those who constantly blow their tired trumpet may find the sympathy band doesn’t play their song.

The Grouchy Pet Owners

Finally, we have those who treat their pets poorly. They bring these loving animals into their homes but don’t give them the care they need. It’s like adopting a plant and then being upset when it withers because you never watered it. Pets are part of the family and deserve love and care. Neglecting them only attracts the opposite of sympathy.
