Like a tempestuous teapot

Some people complain of having dry skin at places like their elbows or knuckles.

Late this winter I did not complain about such, but did find that for about six weeks I was occasionally applying moisterizer to my knuckles. This helped them.

Now the air is significantly more humid so the people who complain of having dry skin are not complaining as much. Some people seem to like to complain, however, so they will continue whether they have dry skin or not. I do not tend to complain.

"Complain of" should often, when dealing with physical symptoms, be changed to "reports" or "describes."

some people will just never be happy, no matter how hard you work for them.

Zhoen: this is true unless the person 'complaining' is doing so in a whining voice.
