basically anytime someone eg has an advantage or eg gets a promotion over someone, or what ever it may be, some will always say its not fair but how can life or any situation be truly fair when theres always context or other factors, plus who says whats fair, and to who etc

Some of MN loves a good old "it's not faaaaaiiiirrrr" rant.

People are perceive that they are "excluded" all the time - this applies to children re parties and fully grown adults re nights out and everything in between.

I always picture the Harry Enfield sketch where the entire football team are always running around the pitch as one big group.

Life is not - and has never been - fair.

thats the thing life can never be fair , but yet everyone seems to have a different idea of whats fair,
