If you bitch about how "this food is terrible" but you do nothing to make it more palatable or order something else and instead just stand there eating while complaining and reordering and asking for seconds... The food is not terrible, and you just enjoy bitching.

I would have warned you about the pot hole that destroyed my car instead of letting you get nailed by it too, but that would have just been bitching about something without fixing it, and I know you don't have any use for that.
