Which demographic complains more about general everyday pish-posh? Is it, a) high school girls; b) sorority girls, c) housewives, or d) middle-of-the-road consultants who can’t seem to rise above the manager level? Ding ding ding, the answer is D. Every single week, you’ll hear someone complain about how ridiculously expensive room service is, but he’d order it anyway. “Can you BELIEVE the omelet was $30? Well it tasted like crap.” Or the morning after a night out, someone will always bring up how much the bill was. “I can’t BELIEVE the tab was a thousand bucks. I mean, there were only four of us!” We all know that these people aren’t truly irritated by anything. They are just bragging about how much dough they throw around. But I pity these people. I pity them because their lives are like a house of cards. Sure looks impressive, but the slightest gust of wind can knock it all down to the ground.
