Life / Is grumbling a Polish attribute? [24]
I was told that it dates back to communist times that if you pay for sth, it must be the highest quality regardless of what you paid for it. In that case, grumbling is inevitable. In teaching, I tend not to encounter grumbling but there is always a git who is dissatisfied with sth or other. When I confront them on it, they say that everything is ok and that they don't need my help. In some classes, I just sit and look off into space as some just ignore my corrections anyway.
Old people are definitely the worst. I thought Scottish old biddies were bad but some of the old crokes here are abominable. To me, they are not worthy of being called Pan or Pani. Those titles are earned where I come from and I'm not into being nice to those that don't merit it.
Oh yes, grumble over ;) ;)
