Moaners
People (of which I seem to know many) who moan. More specifically, people who moan about stuff WITHOUT MAKING THE SLIGHTEST EFFORT TO CHANGE IT.

I always fall into the trap of enraging myself about it as well - If someone moans about their job, first question is "So what else have you applied for? How come that's not going so well?" I should have learnt by now that the answer is invariably "Well, there's no point, is there?" which can be (although that's not to say it always is) an euphemism for "Nothing. Which is exactly why it's not going so well.".

Anyone who moans about MPs and their high profile bad behaviour - BE THE MIRACLE! Make the change! We live in a wonderful democracy where you (yes, YOU!) can be that MP. You can be the one to hold your head up high and say "Yes. I'm the one MP that isn't corrupt"

Anyone who moans about an ongoing ache or pain that (and this is the important bit) remains undiagnosed and untreated because you haven't taken yourself to a professional person who deals with fixing these things (Physios, Doctors, hell, I'll even forgive you if you've seen a homeopath about it. At least you're doing something about it)

Moaning. Grrr! It drives me nuts!

NOTE: This isn't a moan - it's a call to action! Is something wrong? Then fix it!

Of course, jobs are so easy to come by, why don't people just get better ones? Everyone can have a job where they sit around all day doing nothing and being paid millions. Happens all the time. Why do I bother to go to work when I could sing wit ha rock band? I can't sing, and have no charisma, but of course I can do it if I try! (yes, silly example but same goes to a lesser extent to all jobs)
Or, perhaps, people are limited by intelligence, ability, experience, lack of contacts and other things so are generally trapped in careers they chose or fell into years ago. Yes, it is possible to change career but it's costly,risky and for those not suited to home study very very difficult.

As for MPs, in general nowadays they have had tens of thousands spent on their education. To succeed in politics also requires contacts, luck, the ability to lie and treat people like shit, whilst making them like you and several other things that which most normal people cannot do.
Then there's also the slight problem of having to be, say, a Conservative to be a Conservative MP as well as doing the bidding of any commercial interests currently paying your party. An independent candidate has to raise a huge amount of money to even be noticed -- not easy starting from scratch as is evidenced in the lack of independent local governments.
