Know what you mean. What gets me is people who think it's a cosmic tragedy if their sporting team loses or if their fake fingernail disintegrates unexpectedly. Some people self-dramatise and look for something to be distressed and concerned about whether it's the death of a controversial celeb or a flat tyre.

Real shit-storms happen sometimes, real life-altering shit storms with hard frozen-shit cores. Some of us see shitstorms as something to get through. Others are so fortunate that any little adversity is a cloacal typhoon to them. It's the old "poor little rich girl" thing and my best response is to be theatrically patronisingly sympathetic until they get the message.
