Of all the world\u2019s countries, which is the most given to petty complaining? Depending on your own nationality, you may or may not have opinions on this question\u2014but if you\u2019re looking for an objective answer or just in the market for a place to air your own complaints, you may well be interested in a new website that aims to provide both these things.<\/p>\n

The site offers a place for the internet to air all its petty grievances. (You may well point out that we already have a place, and it\u2019s called \u201csocial media\u201d, which is true\u2014but wouldn\u2019t it be nice if people complained about dumb shit somewhere that wasn\u2019t<\/em> Facebook?) It\u2019s called Petty Million, and as its name suggests, it\u2019s aiming to collect a million petty gripes.<\/p>\n

Given that it just launched, it\u2019s got a long way to go before it hits seven figures\u2014at the time of writing, there were 189 petty complaints sitting in its database. These can be filtered by category\u2014work, food, technology, relationships, \u201cBritish problems,\u201d etc\u2014and also searched directly. You can also vote on their validity: the site gives you the option to deem a comment \u201cvalid,\u201d \u201ctoo petty,\u201d or \u201cabsolutely correct,\u201d or urge the complainant to \u201cseek help.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Anyway, aside from the opportunity to air your pettiest grievances for all the world to see, the most interesting part of Petty Million is what it calls the Petty World Cup. This is a league table of gripes that ranks countries by \u201ctotal complaint engagement,\u201d which seems like a reasonable way of identifying the world\u2019s whiniest country.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The fact that the site includes a category specifically for \u201cBritish problems\u201d provides a clue as to what it <\/em>thinks the answer is, but so far, the Brits are only in second place on the pettiness table. The USA has submitted by far the most complaints, but they\u2019re clearly not petty enough, because it only ranks third. Which leaves the question: which country is<\/em> the most given to complaining?<\/p>\n

Amusingly, the answer seems to be \u201cnone of the above\u201d\u2014or more accurately, \u201csomewhere else,\u201d a blanket category that the site assigns to aggregate countries apparently not worthy of complainant status in their own right. This, clearly, is not at all satisfactory, and the only sensible response is to\u2026 complain about it. So if you\u2019ll excuse me\u2014<\/p>\n
