Why is there SO MUCH negativity here?!

The last time we went to TGI Friday's was over 13 years ago. My wife's drink had broken glass in it. We brought it to the attention of our waitress and she was all "so, what? Do you want another one or something?"
"Yes. Please."
When we got the bill they had charged us for the drink she sent back. The one with the broken glass in it. I took it up with the manager who was RUDE AND A BULLY (see, relevant to this thread). After some harsh words during which I stood up and told him he was ridiculous he finally removed the broken glass drink from our bill.
I did NOT tip that waitress. Because NEGATIVITY!!!!
You're right. That was very negative of you. Did the broken glass in the drink KILL YOU?!? Of course not. Just drink through a straw.0 -

Couldn't you have just focused on the things she was doing right?
Regardless, you certainly could have phrased your response to be much nicer.0 -
Isn't this supposed to be a place of support? Time after time I see threads of success and someone rips them a new one for doing it differently then themselves. TDEE isn't for everyone. Paleo isn't for everyone. High carb high sugar eat everything in moderation isn't for everyone. But, no, people with zero medical skill pipe in about how wrong someone's diet choices are. Seriously, how awful is that? Can't we just say, "RIGHT ON!" and move along? What kind of a support system IS this?!

I usually see the same 20 people criticizing others. There are a few who are just hilarious. If you're on the forums a lot, you'll know whose comments to completely ignore.0

Cause opinions are like *kitten*, everyone's got one.0

Am I the only who notices that the people who start these "everyone is so negative" threads have never spent any of their own time and effort providing people with helpful or useful information?

I don't. I'm going to need a list for all 3, the 20 criticizing, the hilarious and those to ignore.0 -

Seriously...I turn into a major crab when on a diet. As many people on the board are also. That really should explain a lot.0

I find it ironic every time I see one of these topics. Generally, the only times I notice negativity is when someone makes a rant thread about it. Anti-negativity threads are such downers. I'm gonna go find a happier thread to hang out in. :frown:0

I think most of us are too starved, tired and pissed-off about having to change our "lifestyles" to be positive... Besides, there's just no fun in that!0

That is normal, everyone has ups and downs,so in order to lessen it, ranting out is the best key...0

I would say that if you're starved, tired, and pissed off...
...you're doing it wrong...
...but then I would also be accused of being negative if I said that...
...so I won't.
Here's a flower instead: :flowerforyou:0 -

Succeeding, and off MFP.0 -
I roll my eyes at every 'welcome to the internet' response. *****es, I grew up with the internet. Its changed, and has become an integral part of peoples lives now - as such, normal social guidelines need to start being acknowledged. This is the only board I frequent that still has members saying 'errr its the internet' as an excuse for being a jerk.
Maybe as a general rule of thumb... If you wouldn't say it irl, then its probably mean.0
