This is an off-shoot of another (great) thread regarding sensitivities and expectations.

I admit I have become quite the complainer. It is sourced in my personal set of standards and expectations. I am aware they are higher than they should be. I am working on this just to let you all know.

When something though blatantly falls short of your standards and expectations I'd like to know what you do. Do you ignore it and let it fall by the wayside? Do you get vocal and take some sort of action? Why? How?

In my own case recently I was very disappointed with an art course I attended over the weekend. It was in no way indicative of the $275 I spent on fees (plus fuel money to drive the 3hrs). So I have thrown my weight around, caused some flack, and demanded my money back. Did I over react? I don't think so. I could not ignore this was my thinking. I had to take a stand. My reasoning too was that someone had to. And so once again I dove upon the sword and took one for the team.
