Yesterday, soon after announcements, the pastor starts preaching and tells us all that we need to keep growing- not just for a time, but, he asks 'have you grown in the last month?' in the last week?' Since one of the announcements was about potluck- and their ain't nobody in the church getting visibly taller, wasn't that just a little rude?? Hello, Buddy, have you stepped on your own scale lately??? Talk about logs and splinters... sheesh.

What is the number one CHRISTIAN whine?
Hypocrisy? Insincerety? Gossipy? Disengenuous? Just a few choices...

Sometimes we go sit in someone else's spot just to be annoying.

Hey, you caused me to laugh out loud--while drinking diet Pepsi!! 
But my whine is simple; the food in the church fridge never has the expiration date on it!!!

We are really messing with folks at the new church- there are 5 or 6 of us that need to sit. that is more than half a pew folks.
The place is packed to the gills already. So packed that the kids under grade 6 have a separate service. So we have to get out of Sunday School and rush to the sanctuary if we are going to sit together. if we are taking 6 seats then we are displacing the same number and we haven't sat in the same place twice since we started going there.
Lots of folks being moved out of their rut.

When I was a kid, we had two flocks of geese. One brown, one white. Neither flock would mix with the other. We also had this stupid little Chihuahua that would run around like a little 4-legged Cuisinart chasing them and mixing the birds all together.
Sometimes, you just gotta be the church Cuisinart and sit where you're not supposed to.

O-o-o-o- kaaaaayyyyyy.
Well, can I put the "chop" blades on? There are a few who don't play well with others.

I saw it too. You did.
Edit: Reminds me of an old Monte Python sketch - the Argument Clinic:
M: Ah. I'd like to have an argument, please.
R: Certainly sir. Have you been here before?
M: No, I haven't, this is my first time.
R: I see. Well, do you want to have just one argument, or were you thinking of taking a course?
M: Well, what is the cost?
R: Well, It's one pound for a five minute argument, but only eight pounds for a course of ten.
M: Well, I think it would be best if I perhaps started off with just the one and then see how it goes.
R: Fine. Well, I'll see who's free at the moment.
Pause
R: Mr. DeBakey's free, but he's a little bit conciliatory.
Ahh yes, Try Mr. Barnard; room 12.
M: Thank you.
(Walks down the hall. Opens door.)
...
(Walk down the corridor)
M: (Knock)
A: Come in.
M: Ah, Is this the right room for an argument?
A: I told you once.
M: No you haven't.
A: Yes I have.
M: When?
A: Just now.
M: No you didn't.
A: Yes I did.
M: You didn't
A: I did!
M: You didn't!
A: I'm telling you I did!
M: You did not!!
A: Oh, I'm sorry, just one moment. Is this a five minute argument or the full half hour?
M: Oh, just the five minutes.
A: Ah, thank you. Anyway, I did.
...
M: I came here for a good argument.
A: No you didn't; no, you came here for an argument.
M: An argument isn't just contradiction.
A: It can be.
M: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
A: No it isn't.
M: Yes it is! It's not just contradiction.
A: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
M: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.'
A: Yes it is!
M: No it isn't!
A: Yes it is!
M: Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of any statement the other person makes.
(short pause)
A: No it isn't.
At last count, I think there were about 47 threads about like this here on CW.
