1) I used to really miss not being able to read LJ during the day because by the time I got home in the evening to read stuff, people had already commented and moved on. And now that I can read LJ during the day, there's been very little traffic and almost nothing that couldn't have waited until evening. Sod's Law, I hear you cackling....

2) If I see one more post on my flist from someone going "Oh woe, my paid account expires today, I'll miss the polls and the icons!", I am going to post a reply that says "You know damn well that by posting this, someone will stump up for paid time for you; if you're going to beg, at least admit it."

3) Goodness, am I the only person who reacts to crises by, y'know, dealing with them? We seem to be turning into a planet of people who can't cope unless they're on tranqs. I get being overwhelmed sometimes, I've been there, we all have. So take a step back, breathe, rant to a friend, whatever. But to flail and stick your head in the sand, rant on LJ about "OMGMYLIFEISSOHARD!" and hope it'll all go away every time you get an owie boo-boo? Get a backbone, puh-lease. (And I'm not talking about those with legitimate mental conditions, so put the burning torches and pitchforks down....)

4) In unrelated news, I'm getting remarkably intolerent in my old age :P

4a) I may possibly need more soothing tea....

3) In general I prefer to DEAL with things. I hate stuff just hanging over with nobody really taking action. To the point that I failed several interviews when younger because I couldn't answer the question 'Tell me about a time when things have gone wrong' in the way they wanted because I plan for things going wrong which generally prevents it happening. After a while I just started lying but I'm still not sure if I can answer that question in the way they want. Why let a crisis build when you can have an easy life by taking a bit of action?

Yes, agreed and agreed again. So much of the whining could be averted if people got off their arses and did something about it.

But most of these people want Others to do it for them. And then will moan that it isn't done right!
