Once is not enough, even though it might really suck. Twice...indicates a pattern! Definitely a pattern! No question! This thing...this thing that really SUCKS....is happening WAY too often! Now, it's time to complain!
But for some reason,.... a reason I have not figured out yet,....most people simply cannot voice their complaint without " the rule of three". This has become a very interesting phenomena to me in the display of human behaviors. The complaint must be voiced as having happened " 3 " times!
Watch this, and someone please tell me the psychology behind the reason "three"...is so magical a threshold when voicing a complaint......and somehow makes the complaint more legitimate!
Listen to someone bitch about someone, or something, ...and listen for the "3". It is a small lie. An ever so slight exaggeration. .... But it is an exaggeration that must be made to lend legitimacy to whatever it is they are complaining about. Now, whenever I hear "This is the THIRD time this happened! :( " .....I instantly know that the bitching bitcher is a lying liar...and , for me, his complaint has a little LESS legitimacy.
