Yes. I've done that as well. Also, when someone is complaining to me about the work that someone else is doing, I ask, "So you're volunteering, then?" :)
Will somebody please tell me -- how come people are whining about whiners?

Yes, I'm talking about you, Sue Shellenbarger. Normally a very positive person, the Work & Family columnist for "The Wall Street Journal" recently wrote an extremely negative article titled "What to Do With a Workplace Whiner." Surprisingly, Shellenbarger's answer was not to immediately promote the whiner and give them a big fat raise. Instead, she brought in a bunch of workplace experts who brought up a bunch of techniques to stifle whiners. I don't want to complain, but that's not nice.

Nor is it smart. Whiners play...
