Complaining is a phenomena we have to live with, and deal with, the best we can.

Friend of the wifes lives in a rural area and is on an eternal drive to have the local air force base closed down. The air force has been resident in the area since 1941 and of course she lives under a training area, the source of her discontent is living through the London blitz with the scream of fighters in combat and bombs coming down, so understandable in a way. All you can say is she didn't do due diligence prior to purchasing her property, the air force ain't about to move, in fact they are expanding operations.

Offshore operator has their base in a rural area and next to the gas processing plant. Woman living three miles from the heliport wants the operation to move because the kerosene from the helicopters flying over is killing her plants, husband works offshore. Another woman wanted the helicopters to stop flying over her house as they were sucking things out of her swimming pool, I kid you not.
