Whinge is a fine word, and means to complain in a particularly annoying manner. It's commonly used in Australia. A good whinge once in a while is OK, so long as everyone knows one's coming, and you keep it short.
Greedy people irritate me. I've had chances recently to see some rather naked displays of greed, and it really has bothered me. I have no problem with profit or folks making money. But when profit-taking becomes gouging, I draw a line. When a lazy person demands a reward for their sloth, I draw a line. When someone charges way more for their services than they are worth, and know it, and could take less, I draw the line.
No doubt I'm an idealist. Fortunately, I don't think I'm a complete cynic, just yet. But, greedy people bother me.
I'm reminded of a bumper sticker that was popular in Santa Cruz, California some time ago:
Mean People Suck
