Man you think there would be more important things going on in this world than doing a huge news story on which countries are the worst complainers (That would be me being sarcastic :-) )
Here are the top five bellyachers:
1. Sweden
2. Britain
3. Australia
4. Canada
5. U.S.A.
This scientific survey is due to percapita complaint letters these countries governments and companies receive. So these are written complaints. But what about oral complaints? I think Canada and U.S. would jump up to the first and second places. Everybody complains about the price of beer gas and housing costs. Everybody compains about the corruption in the government. And the judicial system: phfftt!
Even those who say they have no complaints find something to complain about very quickly. Their neighbours are a pain in the ass. Their car runs like hell. Me? I'm about to throw this goddamned computer out the 3rd floor window if I put in more fucking typo. In my informal survey of Canadians here are the top five things Canadians bitch about:
1. Price of beer
2. Price of gas
3. Traffic (How crowded the 401 is nowadays)
4. Work (there is always an asshole they have to deal with)
5. Medical care. (Mostly doctor shortages and long waiting lists for specialists)
When I lived in the U.S.A. These were the top five things Americans groused about:
1. Price of gas
2. Work (how goddamned stressful the commute was)
3. Rude Drivers
4. Taxes
5. The war in Iraq.
So there you have it. From my observant ears to this journal. If anybody out there hated it write your complaints in between these two asterisks ** and I will get back to you.
