The WTM discussion forum is here. The Art of Expressing Dissatisfaction Decide what fights are worth fighting . Sometimes we have to learn the same lesson over and over. One of the most important lessons to learn and relearn is how to complain or express dissatisfaction.

People in cars sometimes exhibit rude behaviour that they would probably never show in person, because the separation and anonymity of being in a car weakens normal interpersonal restraints.

Getting angry, loud, or abusive doesn't get results.
