The word is inconvenience.
This isn't about accidentally spilling coffee on your new shoes or some guy on the 301 ripping a stank fart next to you - this is the large type of inconvenience. The kind that has people lamenting their life because of a relatively minor quibble; you know the type I'm talking about. The people who say they don't know what to do with themselves because their favorite mint flavored toothpaste is being discontinued, the ones that missed that nine-thousandth airing of the third episode of Firefly (show's canceled for over a decade, move on already) and cry foul against a God that doesn't exist or those that, after making overly detailed plans like someone with crippling OCD could only imagine, totally lose all emotional control when things don't go as they'd like.
And it comes down to goddamn *whining*.
Normally, I'd throw the gauntlet down at Millennials, who are the most obnoxious of generations with their need to LOUDLY identify with products (all your generation's music is based on an increasingly obvious monetary industry and its only getting worse - welcome to the egress of your hollow lie) and misunderstood use of the words like "irony" or "intelligence" - but the fact of the matter is this also has to do with the people my age who are now hitting mid-30s and feel like they should have a statue built for them because they can't control a cheating spouse (ditch them, you ass) or wanting washboard abs and scream-crying about not getting them while they're shoving Ring Dings, Ho Hos and cheap beer into their hollow goiter.
Either do something, or shut up.
The thing is - when you're struggling, you have a right to complain to a certain extent. Bad day complaining, surely - "I am having a tough time and this is why" but when complaining becomes your raison d'être more than the actual work, you make me wish I never knew you (and if you're really bad about it, I'll wish you'd die in a car fire). When your effort about complaining that LIFE IS SO HARD is greater than the work you put in, you are not someone anyone should acknowledge.
Either do something, or shut up.
At least fail. At least do something tough and fail and do it again and fail again and chip away at *something*. But I really don't want to hear about it until you've given it a good go - because 95% of the issues lately are really, seriously lame. I'd say "Man up" but "Woman up" works as well - perhaps "Adult up" is a better statement. Stop infantiling yourselves and stop listening to your own bullshit. Just go get it done, you obnoxious little turd. You can thank me afterward.
