There's the story of a guy who's a monk but he can't meditate  
properly because he keeps thinking about sex.   He's celibate, but  
eventually his master tells him that he should go have sex with  
someone so he can get it out of his system, and then come back to focus.

The discussion about people's behavior doesn't change anyone's  
behavior. You can't change people no matter how rational and well  
argued anyone's case is. People just don't change.

What it does serve to do though is to let people vent their  
annoyance. Nobody has to agree with that annoyance... although some  
may well do. It's not a question of whether the annoyance is  
rationally justified. Y'all just say, "when so and so does xyx, I  
feel annoyed." If anyone hears it, fine, if anyone ignores it, fine.
(It helps if you avoid blaming them.)

If the annoyance has become so distracting that you feel you have to  
get it out of your system, and you just want to say it once, then fine.

Once people have had a chance to do that, things move on.
