One creative idea that appeals to my perverse side is to write a Complaint Song and/or form a Complaint Choir. While I am generally an advocate for looking on the bright side, the husband of the husband/wife team credited with founding the Complaint Choir movement says singing out your pet peeves and sense of injustice is cathartic, and helps you to bond with others who share your frustration. No reports have come in on whether Complaint Choirs have resolved any of the issues they have addressed (ranging from the high price of beer to global warming) but they have exercised creative juices, had a few laughs and made some beautiful music, all of which are worthy outcomes.
