For the first time in years, Blaine Bishop will be spending Thanksgiving alone, and she can't wait. This year, she won't worry about the stress of travel or family dynamics. She won't stress the weekend away and wonder where her vacation went. Instead, she will spend Thanksgiving doing whatever she wants. But of course, as the saying goes, the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. After completing a routine errand for her boss at a client's office, Blaine takes the building's ancient elevator down to the main floor. The start of Blaine's four-day holiday weekend is just minutes away when an obese redheaded woman joins her on the elevator. As luck would have it, the elevator suddenly stops, and Blaine finds herself trapped between floors with a stranger. Blaine's fantasy weekend is now destroyed, as they have no clue when they will be rescued. Even worse, the redhead seems determined to talk nonstop. Blaine finds herself a captive audience. As the hours pass and help does not arrive, she finds herself wondering just how long she can stand it.

The present work has as its object the study of the complaint in the context of letters of customers of a company in the field of civil architecture. It involves an interaction between an individual and an organization and a damage not only of a material nature, but also of a symbolic one.Assuming that complaint has an expressive nature that implies negative feelings, we investigate how the proprietor of a Brazilian middle class real estate manages these feelings. We presuppose that the achievement of a complaint is related to linguistic, discursive, contextual and sociocultural knowledges that will influence the decisions of the complainer on the best way of presenting the complaint, considering the face works and the expression of affect. In accordance with the regularities presented in the material we worked with, the strong hypothesis relies on the affective or expressive nature of complaints, considering how these customers that belong to the middle class real state, in the condition of complainers, manage the negative feelings that emerge from this kind of context in a culture known by the "myth of cordiality."
