This is something I've been trying to do because I really like to surround myself with positive people and this is a two-way street. Nothing pulls you down faster than being around someone who whines and complains all the time. I've never put a time limit on it but it's always a good idea to have a goal. I think the bracelet is a good idea because it's a concrete reminder when you "fall off the wagon".
I was in favor of the first one because Lance Armstrong is totally appropriate. I later collected several more: (!Red!: Heart Attack!…!Pink! Mammogram!) yadda yadda.
But now a Kansas Minister has come out with the uber rubber gesture: A“!Purple! No Complaining Bracelet” that, according to NBC, has since “Made its way across the world.” (!Purple! --Stifle!)You’ve gotta be kidding.
The idea is that, every time you catch yourself grousing about some minor annoyance, you have to switch !Purple! from one arm to the other. The goal is to go 21 days on one arm. (You will have added all kinds of crap to your unconscious psyche and require a mega psychiatrist but the world is apparently a better place because you didn’t complain for 21 days!)
What if the bracelet is too tight or you are allergic to its oil-based DNA so that your arm is turning red with hives or !Purple! with constriction? You aren’t allowed to acknowledge that for 21 days?
There is nothing wrong with complaining, if there is good reason to. There is so much incompetence and so many mistakes being made these days, in so many areas, that it is necessary to express one's displeasure and unfairness with a situation. The word 'complain' should not have a negative connotation in this regard.
How can you NOT complain, with 'the dumbing down of America' occuring right before our very eyes! It's so hard to get good service and well made products nowadays! See, i'm complaining!
i think that i can do it if i put my mind towards it. i beleive that you can do anything so i am looking forward to trying this. My mother ordered some for the whole family to try so i cant wait to see who complains first.

NO WAY! I wouldn't make it 2 minutes!
No way!!! Are you kidding me?! I couldn't go 2 minutes!
I work at Case/Case Western Reserve University/CWRU/Fat guy w/a surfboard or whatever we're being called today, I'm buying one for everyone on campus
i would not make it for 2 seconds
no way! i wouldn't last. especially at work.
I wonder if having a bracelet to remind you would help you not complain. Very interesting concept.

There is something wrong with that.
This is a complaint.
