Rather than an analogy, I'll offer an actual event that happened with a person I knew. This person endlessly complained about a particular hair dresser in a beauty Salon that she went to. No matter how much the hair dresser tried to satisfy this person, she was always extremely critical after each visit. This person complained so endlessly that she finally succeeded in getting the hair dresser fired. There was so much upset in the beauty salon among the other hair dressers that the employer investigated the matter more thoroughly and discovered that the problem was the customer, not the hair dresser. The hair dresser that was fired was well-liked by her other customers.

The next time this person came to the beauty salon to have her hair done, the owner spoke to her and told her that she had caused so much trouble with her endless complaints that she was no longer welcome in the store and was told to take her business elsewhere.

This is not an analogy. The woman was a close friend of a woman I was dating at the time.
