to think that almost every committee degenerates into a whingey bitchfest?

[IvaNighSpare]

title says it all really.
It just seems to me that most committees that get together for the good of a community end up being populated by a handful of proactive, kind volunteeers and the remainder being a load of whingers, bitches and 'hangers-on'.
And it seems the higher a profile the said committee generates, the greater the negative proportion becomes (I suspect, because the proactive types realise that the group they originally joined no longer resembles the shambles it has become)
Or is it just me?
If it's not, does anyone have any experience, especially if they managed to turn things back around for the better?
'nuff said really.
Thanks

I would very much like to go to a whingey bitchfest. Can you tell me how I might secure an invitation?

ROFL

just clicked to post same...

Whingey bitchfest sub committee would be fab

Committees have a limited life-span I think, before they need new blood / a complete overhaul!

Let us draw up an agenda:

1. Why is everyone so fat?

1. You wouldn't think personal hygiene was really that difficult.

1. Her dd was star of the week last week. Someone else should have a turn.

1. Have you seen her hair?

at 4

1. But i did it last year

1. That Pixie Lott...

There are several whingey bitchfest committees in my village.

Person 1 has an idea. Person 2 doesn't like idea so finds 101 things wrong with it. Person 3 doesn't like Person 2 so sides with Person 1 and finds 101 things wrong with every idea that Person 2 has ever had. Person 4 doesn't like the fact that anyone other than them has had an idea so finds 101 things wrong with every idea that every person on the planet except them has ever had. Then someone usually resigns in tears, only to reinstate themselves in time for the next meeting.

Meanwhile the village hall roof still needs fixing, the pre-school still needs a new building, the sports teams still need new kit, the church heating still needs repairing... but nothing ever gets done.

So YANBU.

YANBU but there's also another group who exclude those they don't like and then complain they don't get enough help.....

1. who the fuck bought these biscuits

1. She just ignores the coffee rota and it's plainly blutacked on the door.

1. Do they think chairs stack themselves?

10. I've told them and told them.

10.....at my last school......

11. These people can't even count

13. apparently she uses a packet of cake mix

14. They still can't count

15. And then she turned around and said...

16. I don't blame him for leaving her really, when you consider everything. Look at the state of her nets?

17. I'm sorry but if Norma plants begonias again i am going to have to speak to the chairwoman.

18. I'm not a racist but

198. yes i know it is blue but is it 'heritage' blue

19. They are just different, aren't they? Do they know what Digestives are?

20. She always has to be different

234. and then i phoned the call centre and i could hardly understand what the person was saying, so i hung up and joined bnp

20. No offence but did you see how Dierdre's daughter behaved at that wedding? There's a child who has never been smacked.

72. kitkats!!!, no really kitkats.....they are made by nestle

21. I did the minutes in February AND in December, and verity knew I still hadn't finished writing my Christmas cards. Mind you, her minutes are shocking. She always leaves off the parish flowers rota, and do you remember when she spelled the vicar's wife's name wrong. It is Shelagh with a gh.

73 unltimately she just isn't really our kind of people

22. People say it doesn't matter, but order is important. Look at Hitler.
