Well, I do get annoyed with people whinning over little stuff, especially when they expect others to solve it.

I mean, i dealt with 30 something man who was a mess mess mess, messity messy mess cause his girlfriend broke up with him. And at the same time part of our group is a teenage girl, who seen several of her friends killed, dealt with shot wound injury... and she hardly ever mentioned it.

My experience is that the "white whine" is much easier to share than real troubles. People with sever PTSD or severe depression don't go around talking about it or making numerous facebook posts about it.

And I actually have a plot of apolyptic novel in my head - where a terrorist group decides to start a civil war in western country, after they are tired of whining about trivial things on social media and all around. They want to start a havoc, so people appreciate the little thing again. Yeah, how horrible of me. Still. I was born with soviet tanks on the streets. So maybe I have some inborn cynicism.
