Survey: Swedes Biggest Whiners

According to a survey of global complaining conducted by NOP World, a business research consulting firm, the Swedish were found to be the world's premier country in bitching and moaning. In second place were the Brits, followed by the Aussies and Canadians in 3rd and 4th places.

At the bottom of the list reside the Taiwanese, who narrowly beat out Saudi Arabians, Chinese, Poles, and Russians as the population who whines least. The U.S. came in at 5th place, tied with Argentina and Brazil.

Interestingly, the polling found that "the wealthiest and better educated respondents tended to be the most likely to speak out if they were unhappy." I suspect this indicates that people with time on their hands often are the chief complainers. Obviously, those people who are up to their belt loops in muck trying to clear the swamp of deadly snakes just don't have time to piss and moan.
