Thanks! That's definitely good advice and I'm sure it's not always easy to be the whippin boy

Yes well we uns run our siblins down as soon as they leave the door. it does not mean that we like them any the less, it is just a way of getting on together without quarrelling .

Men do it about their pals and make a joke about it, I suppose it is bonding.

When someone trash talks another person behind their back, I do not report it out because I do not want to get involved.

I agree with you ...to repeat someone's vent is to start gossip and it grows and becomes something ugly. Very wise of you to say I don't want to hear this.

You are so absolutely right on in every word...great post.  This is what is so insidious about so much of social media...it is exactly that, trash talk...people venting their own frustrations.  But back to your point, when I interviewed potential claim reps I told them part of their job would be letting the customer vent on them ....since they couldn't very well get out and KO the person who just ran into them! I let people abuse me on the phone (to an extent!) because hail knocked their w/s out and the glass shop is backed up....I know it's not personal.  But I hear some of these new folks jumping right back down customers' throats, and shake my head.
