TIL The Oldest Written Complaint Dates Back to 1750 B.C.
I m convinced that as soon as the first cave dweller taught the second to grunt, the second complained about the first grunting too much.
People will complain about anything. If you ve ever worked in customer service, retail, or media, you know that human beings have an uncanny ability to find any little thing to be unhappy about and can achieve remarkable decibel levels when they decide you re the one who needs to hear about it.
Today we have so many outlets for complaining, from social media to Yelp to comment cards both physical and digital. It s easy to forget about the human being on the other end of those complaints and take our ability to just put our ideas out there into the world on a whim for granted.
