I went to school a girl who sobbed uncontrollably throughout the day on her 16th birthday because her parents got her the wrong color Jaguar.
I didn't know her well, but she made sure to complain about the problem loudly enough that even those of us who sat across the room heard her.

That's one great bragplaint, Milee. My story about the 5 ct diamond was exaggerated a little bit, but many years ago, I did have coworker who kept complaining about how heavy her 2 ct diamond engagement ring from Dr/Mr Wonderful was on her finger. Then she would hold out her ring to have us "look", like a puppy with a wounded paw. We just looked at her instead.  |

I think another funny brag-plaint would be along the lines of " my 120 ft yacht uses too much fuel ! "

"Thanks to wifey's new Bentley, there's no room in my garage for the Lamborghini!"
"wah!"
"The state took half of the $36 million I won in the lottery!"
"sob!~"
"The colonoscopy revealed no problems... I went through all that trouble for nothing!"
"grumble"

My then-fourteen-old-niece once complained that she had to share a FLOOR with her brother. I countered with, "You do NOT." Um, she didn't mean the floor you walk on. She meant she and her younger brother had to share the same floor in their house.
Her mother never did get the joke . . . |

A law school classmate, who also happened to be an aerobics instructor, complained that no matter what she did, she could never gain weight. It might have had something to do with the fact that all she ate was lettuce.

I actually knew of someone who made her boyfriend who I knew, buy her a better diamond ring. Cause all her friends would see the measly 1ct and think her poor. I pitied him, I really did.

I took great joy in complaining about all the new clothes I had to buy when I dropped three sizes!

"Uhhh, dear? You really want me to exchange your ring?"
"Yes, it's not big enough."
"Okay."
--------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mr. Jeweler, my girlfriend wasn't happy with this ring. She thinks it's too small. So I need to return it."
"Oh, no problem at all, sir. May I show you something larger?"
"No, that won't be necessary. I plan to exchange it for a new big-screen and a vacation to get over our breakup." |

I know someone who made her now-DH return the ring he bought first and get her a different one. she was my BFF back in grade school, but I do not like the person she grew up to be....for a number of reasons. |

This guy, my friend agreed with her. So he went out and got her a 1.75ct Princess Cut Diamond solitaire engagement ring. That was the last I seen of them.

I have a couple brag-plaints that I just make to my husband. When the market goes down, I like to complain that we both just worked all day and still ended up worse than when we started. And when I buy mutual funds online, I like to tell him that I just went online shopping and spent a ton of money, so now we are broke.
With my family out of state - I complain a lot about being overwhelmed with tomatoes. But I am pretty darn pleased that something I planted actually grew and was edible.

I saved too much for retirement. Now I can live on SS and mortgage income so wasted years saving money I won't need. Second complaint is all the money is tied up in investments so I really can't spend it. It is true but I decided I can sell some mutual funds in a ROTH and spend the money. I can spend as much as I want so will just start wasting. Next complaint is I am not used to wasting money so it is very hard. I am going to buy the very best quality of paint I can find to paint inside my house, it is going to kill me to spend so much money on paint.

The cost of stabling my polo ponies has inreased by 30% in the last three years!
If this keeps up I'll have no other choice but to buy my own stables!

I went out to the sunroom this morning to fill up the hot tub after the summer. There were about eight hornets or yellow-jackets on the windows that I had to trap and put outside. And I STILL have to wait until tomorrow for it to be heated.  |

I knew a bride-to-be that didn't bother to complain. She just went and insisted that the diamond in her engagement ring had to be replaced 3 weeks before the wedding.
Never mind that she was only 17, groom was a college student and neither one had money.

I live on the Central Coast of California and we get these crazy Santa Ana winds which can lead to extremely warm days on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Over the years I have been known to call my cousins in upstate New York and Chicago to complain about not being able to wear my holiday sweaters and getting sunburned at the beach. Somehow they always seem to be lacking in sympathy despite the fact that I always express my condolences for their weather. Yes, I am a weather elitist!  |

A classmate wouldn't speak to her parents for weeks because they bought her a blue BMW not the red one. She ranted and raved all over school about how unfair it was. |

I don't know what to do, our daughter was just offered a solo performance at Carnegie Hall, but it's the same day her older brother is playing in the Little League World Series.**

You can't even jog around your own neighborhood! No I can't! All the cat calls and woof whistles are just too much! No one knows my pain...  You mean from your big boobs bouncing like the girls on Bay Watch? Small breasted women don't know how lucky they are. |

You don't know brag-plaints until you have a "Mom's night out" dinner with the mom's of a group of gifted kids. OMG.
"L is so busy every summer. Between the special invitation only camp he does every year at Duke and his grandma flying him to Europe for two weeks I think we are only going to have time for one family vacation this summer."
"We are so busy. There are so many schools that want "Precious" to attend that we have to wade through college letters every night"
"My son lettered in Math League last year and went to state so I had to buy him a letterman's jacket for that letter. Now he is getting another Letter this year. What do I do with it? Buy him a second jacket?"

"Look at the $400 purse I just bought with my tips from last week!" "I'm getting really lousy tips tonight, I need the money to pay rent". Umm. . .  That server was not the sharpest tool shed. |
