You can tell how good someone has it in life based on the things they complain about. The nicer their life is, the pettier and more insignificant their complains are despite them acting like it's a big deal. amirite?

"Honestly, I just can't stand it when when the peasants demand a living wage. Who do they think they are, wanting to afford a roof over their head and running water? And then I have to wait longer for my latte because the coffee shop is short staffed." \-the Wealthy

In their personal lives, maybe? But individuals who have massive responsibility and power in their professional lives tend you have "nicer" personal lives. Is a president complaining about not being able to feed their country petty? Is the CEO complaining about being outcompeted by a rival company insignificant?

Obviously in their personal lives. Otherwise this statement wouldn't apply to everyone, making it pointless. You're talking about situations that affect many people at once and are not determined by any one person, so those don't really count towards what I'm trying to say. And while people with big responsibilities and power in their professional lives tend to be wealthy, not every wealthy person is. The families of said important people for example. They share the wealth, but not the responsibilities.

Ah, yes, the struggle is real when my avocado toast takes an extra minute. The struggle.

Sometimes it's more complicated than that. A person can be stressed about one thing, while bitching about something entirely different. They might not realize that it's not that thing that's upsetting them, it's something else making little annoyances feel huge. Like when you spouse is being an asshole and demanding more from you than you have to give, suddenly the fact that they don't do dishes is worth throwing a fit over. Even though that's how the division of labour was decided ages ago.

That's not really what I'm talking about, though.

How do you know it isn't? It's a truthful explanation for the phenomenon you described. Won't apply in every case, but it will in more than most. When you're already stressed out, petty annoyances feel huge. That's just a fact.
