Cumberland 'Crybaby' Facebook Page Featured In Boston Globe

CUMBERLAND, RI — A quasi-satirical Facebook page where Cumberland residents are invited to gripe and complain about inconsequential matters has made the big time.

The "Cumberland RI Crybaby Page" caught the attention of Boston Globe staffer Carlos R. Muñoz, and it's all downhill from here.

The page administrator, who goes by the pseudonym “Pedro Curvey,” spoke with the Globe and said the page offers a safe haven for people who want to vent about petty concerns.

"I need a drive-thru at Honeydew and Pops," one commenter recently remarked. "I want to be able to get my iced coffee and Dew Drops, slide up a few more feet, get a few nips of Fireball for my coffee, all without ever leaving my car."

"That’s it, 5 mph speed limit on all streets!!," demanded another.

The page stands in contrast to the more serious "Cumberland RI Issues and Concerns" page. Pedro Curvey has laid out the ground rules for crybabies:

Do you have a general rhetorical complaint about the town you want to get off your chest? Did the coffee shop put too much cream in your coffee? Did the trash man leave your barrels on your lawn after emptying them?

If you do you found the right place, vent on this page.

A “perfect” life is achievable as long as we all list the infractions and shortcomings of this town!
