Interesting take. I've known people like this, but I don't think this is my grandma. She actually puts herself in situations so she can complain about them. She focuses on people who are failing in life so she can complain about them, almost in a martyr fashion. She has balied my uncle and cousin out of legal problems for so long she is broke and can barely pay her bills anymore. She has health issues that she complains about to anyone who will listen. When I call her, within 2 minutes she's complaining about her health, the Reds (she's a huge fan of their maybe because they haven't won in a long time), my parents, my grandpa, or about me (she wanted a grandson and yea after 29 years she's still disappointed).
I honestly think she is one of those people who just enjoys griping. Like the old people that sit in their rocking chairs and bitch about everything while yelling at kids. That's just who she is and always has been.
