Grouchy Gripe

Grumbles and groans about all she sees.
                      Bellyaching and complaining
                   Fussing, kicking and squawking
                            Peevishly petulant
                               bitter mudgeon
                               grouchy whiner
                                    a surly
                                   boorish
                                     gripe

It is because they are afraid to be themselves I think.

I used to work with a woman like that. Nothing in the whole store was good enough. Not the people, the working conditions, the hours, the pay, the managers, nothing. She was a real brew stirring witch causing trouble and unrest everywhere. We were all so glad to see her go. When someone is like that run don't walk in the other direction very fast so they don't affect your own life. Any advice you give her will be used against you. Great job here. God Bless, JB

Thank you Judy. I had a co-worker like this once. I actually quit the job before noon the second day. She said it was too much work to "train me" but she would sit and watch people needing help at the counter while she had me filing on a bottom filing drawer all day things she should have filed for the last 6 years, and I could not help the people at the counter because I did not know how.
