Being miserable for the sake of being miserable?

Over the last few weeks I have come in contact with a HUGE number of people who are miserable just for the sake of being miserable. These people bitch about things because they have nothing better to do, things that dont effect them in any way shape or form. And it begins to become something they impose on others around them. For instance. My grandmother rents a condo on a lake that my family goes to a couple times each summer. The other day on one of our trips, we arrived to a car being parked in a parking space reserved for us, all the other spaces were taken. We didnt make a big deal, I just parked in a little place that was on the opposite side of all the parking spaces. I made sure to not block anyone, or anything trying to get in our out. We left and went out on the boat for the day. We came back to a woman who had no affiliation with the place besides the fact that she rented a condo for a week. She was walking around are car taking pictures. My grandmother walked up to me and said the woman had come up to her, and yelled at her. Simply for parking in a place this woman had deemed the fire lane. There were no markings to represent this. She was taking pictures as "evidence" to give to the management to try and have us banned from the place. To make the best of the situation, I walked around with this woman, every time she raised her camera, I struck a pose. after a while she left, more pissed than she had been before.
Thats just an example of one person taking something that had affected her in no way and making it a huge deal. I have no fucking idea what makes these people want to do this. Is it really that they have nothing better to do? Do they feel that there life is so bad that they must try and make everyone else's lives just as bad?

Sounds like you just ran into one of those old bitches who hate everything that goes on around them, and try to make everyone else into trouble. It is a lot like one of the librarians at my school, who will kick you off the computer for not doing work. She will do this if you are the only person in the library. All the people in the school hate her, including the staff.

People really need to just chill about things that really dont matter. Like..I hate going out to dinner with some of my friends families because all they do is complain about horrible service (when i restaurant is really busy anyways) or the food , when they order complicated things like no onions...blah blah blah and they send their food back for almost no reason what so ever and then they dont tip very well just because of it. Me and my friends just appologize to the servers and try to make up for it. But it's horrible.

I agree with you. So many people I know are miserable because they convince themselves that everything around them is much worse than it really is. I have one friend in particular who basically drops off into a coma unless hes around his closest friends. He has a really particular taste in music, and if anyone else is playing something that he hasn't heard before, he gets pissed off, and doesn't talk to anyone. It's such a bitch to have to bring friends like this around too.

youre exactly right. she is so miserable that she has to make other peoples lives miserable. i hate people like that, i know like someone above posted that some of my friends parents go out to eat and bitch the whole time about stuff. dont tip and everything, i mean you made it hard for them and blah blah blah. its stupid but thats how people are, especially ones that are sick of the same job after 20 years and do the same shit everyday. they just love being a bitch. i hate those people and anyone who does that to me gets a fucking ear full.

Eating with people like that makes me feel horrible. Especially because you know the waiter is being payed horribly, and gets this shit all day. I just want to tell the people to shut the fuck up and deal with what there getting, because there eating better than 70% of the world will ever eat.

my dad spazzes at people sometimes if they are doing something wrong. he doesn't put stuff into perspective well. he won't weigh the pro's and con's in his head and will stick with his original instinct untill the end. it pisses me off so much.

it sucks being the person who has to deal with the shit like that, ive had people complain because their food was made exactly as it was supposed to be made, but when they ordered they don't tell me what they want, and then when they get their food they bitch at me. Unfortunatly it happens way too much

yeah and it's horrible because we go out in big groups and i already feel bad enough for being with such an anoying huge group of needy people that complain all the time. One time we went to the olive garden i think. And we had a big group. And when we were done one of my friends dads asked the waitress to take the (i dont remember what its called but the automatic tip for larger groups?) well anyways yeah he asked her to take it off. and he tiped less then it was! i was mortified! so i just gave the waitress an extra tip after most of the group had left. And what made it even worse was that the waitress was probably the nices person thats ever served me at a restaurant and she handled everything perfectly...including all the complaints and she had a sense of humor! i was sooo mad!!!

Some people are self-righteous. They have nothing better to do than make other peoples' lives miserable because theirs is lame.
Soloution? Don't become one of these people. There's nothing you can do to change them.

yeah people like that are horrible
this one time my mom backed up into this ladies parked car, right as she was walking out of the store. now it was nothing like it was a little bump. this lady starts freaking out yelling at my mom for her name and info and shit, but she was not calm she was grabbing my moms sleeve and forcing her hand into her purse and grabing stuff, when my mom backed off and told her to get off her she started talking about sueing us cause our windows were illegly tinted or something haha?...anyway i guess she had a right to be a bit mad...but people can take it way to far just to make other people miserable

It's called the autograt, and it is the greatest thing ever conceived of in the restaurant industry. 15% right on the top. If someone did that at our restaurant, asked them to remove it, we would simply refuse... if that's how you want to be, then thanks for coming, now don't come back. Once you've been informed of its existence and decided to still eat there, you're paying the fucking 15% or you're dining and ditching... and thanks to your reso, I have your name and home number, asshole. Say hello to the po for me.
I don't even ask groups of 8 or larger anymore if they're okay with the autograt. I just say "just so you know, there will be a 15% charge applied to your bill in place of the tip." No one has said "that's not okay" yet... personally I think it should be on all bills: if you feel like tipping over 15, cool, but it's not at all expected. It'd be simpler that way.

yeah I had a mad similar experience when I was getting off an airplane. I was like 12 at the time and This older couple was fucking with their luggage. The husband was taking forever to get it out from underneth the seat in front of him and his wife was just standing there blocking the isle. I politely ask her if she would move so others could get out (there was a huge line formed behind me and after a 6 hour flight everyone oblivious just wanted to get home) so she didn't say anything but took a half step to the left. I assumed she was letting us pass, so I start to go by and she shoves out her arm and says "you'll have to wait you inconsiderate piece of shit" I explained how they were taking forever after a long flight and their was a line behind them. She told me to fuck off and called my disrespectful. Some of the other people in line told her she was being ridiculous etc, but she continued to block the isle for a few more minutes until her husband was ready. So then when we were getting out luggage I was walking up to get it after I spotted it on the thing and the old lady was there and went and blocked it and continued to walk around the circle track with it so I couldnt get to it or grab it w/o pushing her. Then my dad, who was there realized what was going on and mad an ass out of the lady.
