I think of whining as a kind of virus - see how quickly a whiner can "infect" the mood of others . My response now is to ask a whiner what they themselves are going to do about their situation (not what they think others should do ). That often causes confusion but it usually makes them think. Thankfully now the nature of my work means I rarely meet a whinger ! Oh yes – great story John. I think of whining as a kind of virus – see how quickly a whiner can “infect” the mood of others .
