calmly ranted:

Every morning a group of us have coffee in a local restaurant and there is
one guy who constantly complains about everything- weather, taxes, price of
gas, politicians, lawyers, schools, traffic, foreigners of any kind,etc. and
on and on. It has gotten to the point where the whole table dreads his
arrival. The irony is that he lives in a nice neighborhood, has a new truck
and his wife has a newer car- he also has a camper , a boat, a quad and a
housefull of nice furniture, TV's, appliances, a garage stuffed with all
kinds of tools and gadgets etc. Having travelled all over the world in my
career, I can say with authority that 95% of the world's population could
live comfortably on what he spends on his boat and camper. I sometimes want
to grab him by the shirt and say " What the F**K is your problem man? " But
instead I said it here- anyone else know a guy like this?

But of course. Everyone does, and we're just like him on some days.
(You whined to us instead of him, didn't you?

DO confront him as you just stated here. It just may change (for the
better) the way the entire group relates, and how he relates to life.
Give him Lincoln's quote while you're at it. It's quite true, and far
too many of us forget it on a daily basis. (Guilty as charged.)
