Do You Want Some Cheese to Go with The Whine?    

“If you have time to whine and complain about

something then you have the time to do something about it.”

Anthony J. D’ Angelo, author   

As I see it . . . . . . .

Do you want some cheese to go with the whine?

Did you ever feel like asking a whiner if they wanted some cheese to go along with the whine?

Whiner make you feel like your head is going to explode an they replay the same things over and over. Their whining just goes on and on with no other purpose but to whine.

There is a big difference between explaining a condition or an issue and whining.

When you’re reviewing a condition or issues it’s based on facts. You will either be looking to solve a problem, looking for solutions or talking about how not to repeat the same problem again. The conversation is proactive and looking for answers.

Whining is on auto play and the person has no other purpose than to whine.

The next time you encounter a whiner, ask them “do you want some cheese to go with the whine” or just run for cover. Running for cover is the best bet.
